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]

The practice has also been mimicked in online video games[citation needed], and applied to the Tea Party protesters as a form of ridicule.

The practice

Teabagging is an 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 consensually as a sexual act. It has been used during hazing or bullying incidents.[4] Incidents have included reports of groups holding down victims while the perpetrator "shoves his testicles in [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 fallen character's face (while repeatedly crouching and standing) to imply domination or humiliation.[6]

Use as a political term

In 2009, Tea Party protests were formed to protest against United States government tax and spending policies.[7][8] Owing to its sexual connotation, the term "Tea Bagger" has been used by several pundits and journalists to ridicule the protesters. Anderson Cooper apologized for using the term. [9][10][11][12][13] The term's growth in the political arena earned attention by the Oxford American Dictionary, and the word "teabagger" achieved finalist status for the OAD Word of the Year.[14]
