Teabagging is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth[1] or on or around the face (including the top of the head) of another person, often in a repeated in-and-out motion as in irrumatio. The practice resembles dipping a tea bag into a cup of tea.[2][3]
Teabagging is also an erotic activity used within the context of BDSM and male dominance, with a dominant man teabagging his submissive partner as one variation of facesitting and/or as a means of inflicting erotic humiliation. Teabagging is not always carried out with a solely "sexual" connotation. In some cases it can be carried out as a prank whereby a male might teabag a sleeping person for the mere humiliation and humor of the act.
There have been reports of teabagging being used during hazingorbullying incidents.[4] Incidents have included reports of groups holding down victims while the perpetrator "shoves his testicles in the [their] face"[5] or puts their "crotch to his head."[6]
Mimicking teabagging has become popular in online video games. It is portrayed by the winning player positioning his character over the face of the fallen character's face (often repeatedly crouching)to imply domination or humiliation.[6]
In 2009, groups known as Tea Parties were formed to protest United States government tax and spending policies.
