Teabagging is a slang term for the sexual act involving placing the scrotum into the mouth of a sexual partner for sexual pleasure, or onto the face or head of another person, sometimes as a comedic device.
The name of the practice, when it is done in a repeated in-and-out motion, is derived from its passing resemblance to the dipping of a tea bag into a cup of hot water as a method of Steeping tea. As a form of non-penetrative sex, it can be done for its own enjoyment or as foreplay.
Its gain in prominence has been attributed to its depiction in the 1998 film Pecker, directed by John Waters. It has since become popular enough with couples to be discussed during an episode of the television series Sex and the City.
Sex and relationship experts have varying definitions on how the act is performed. According to columnist Dan Savage, the person whose scrotum is being stimulated is known as "the teabagger" and the one giving the stimulation is "the teabaggee": "A teabagger dips sack; a teabaggee receives dipped sack." Some consider the act to be as simple as fellatio involving the scrotum. Others consider the Sex position to involve the man squatting over his reclined partner while the are repeatedly raised and lowered into the mouth. Whether licking and fondling is considered teabagging was once debated on The Howard Stern Show.
The act courted much controversy across June and July 2022 when two professional female Valorant players received suspensions by Riot Games for criticizing people who had compared the act to sexual assault. In addition to the suspensions, the players were also Doxing. The suspensions caused outrage in much of the Valorant and wider internet community, with various commentators calling the comparison to real-world sexual violence as "out of control" and "absurd".
The player known as Dawn, who received a three-month suspension for voicing her opinion, said of the situation: "I have watched sexual happen in broad daylight. It is not something you can compare to crouching in a video game. I was visibly upset by this, as were hundreds of thousands of people, and replied under her thread expressing my frustrations and concerns."
