Hey Amy, if that’s you please hit the back button on your browser at this time.

OK I’m curious. What the heck IS felching anyway?

It involves small, shaven animals and asses.

Remember the Richard Gere/gerbil story?

Dook’s got it half right, it does involve asses.

More than that, I can not tell, I’m already feeling queasy.

:: hoping this isn’t some kind of inside joke between Moe and Amy ::

It’s when a guy ejaculates into a rectum (male or female) and sucks out the remains with any kind of cylindrical mechanism, usually a straw. However, the mouth can be used in times of desperation.

Yuck! Sorry I asked.

But I of course could not have gone the rest of my life without knowing, curiousity knawing away at my soul.

Amy, it’s an infamous urban legend, often attributed to Richard Gere. (So too is his alleged homosexuality.)

See [Snopes](http://www.snopes.com/sex/homosex/gerbil.htm) for details.

But why would someone want it BACK?

I mean, what would he DO with it? It’s not like he’ll never have any more . . .

Apparently, it’s considered a very intimate kind of thing.

Not my cup of tea, but I’ve heard of more unusual sexual practices. That amputation fetish springs immediatly to mind:

You’ve just stumbled into one of the SDMB’s buzz terms (which should pretty much delineate the tone we’ve set around here). For a long while, felching made it into easily 1/3 of the threads in MPSIMS, and into a few other choice threads in the other forums.

If you need any more questions answered about this, uh, recreation, direct your inquiries to Coldfire. He loves this kind of thing.

Well, it’s not like we all get together and DO it, down in the Rumpus Room, or anything like that.

But everyone who’s been hanging out here since…oh, I think it was last September that the Great Felch Postings took place?..now has “felching” field away in his/her verb vocabulary.

Amy, Amy, Amy. I _triiiiied_ to warn you. But did you listen to your wise friend, Shayna? No. You saw the question posed in the OP and just kept on scrolling. Now next time will you listen to what I tell you and trust me?

The subject of sexual slang came up once in a human sexuality class I took in college. The usual terms were brought up.

Tea bagging, rimming, felching, etc…

You get the idea.
