Tribbing. I knew about the activity but didn't know it had it's own name.

Tribbing. I knew about the activity but didn't know it had it's own name.

I saw this word a few days ago and it made me curious enough to look it up. It's a derivative of tribade, and tribadism. (Tribade is an old word, possibly French, that means lesbian.) I recall seeing the word tribadism before also but never knew what it was or was curious enough to look it up.



Tribbing is an activity between two women and involves rubbing their vulvas together, usually to achieve orgasm, or I guess as foreplay. It evidently goes by other slang terms as well, like beaver bumping, French connection, bumping buttons and scissoring, but the fave term I found is a Chinese term mo jing which evidently translates as "polishing mirrors".

Did you know this activity was called tribbing? Do you know of any other obscure terms for sexual practices?

That's a new one to me. The only terms I know are the kind that no one in their right mind would EVER do. You know, the disgusting things that make you laugh at the idea, but know better than to ever do.

Hi Rihalo. I think I know the sort of activities of which you speak, but I'm not sure that some of them even have their own name. Like, whenever I happen across a pic of a guys ball sac stretched out and nailed to a plank I laugh...very very nervously! What's that about? I bet that doesn't have a name.

Hi mzhuny. Words are great aren't they? I like a good vocabulary on a woman! In fact, vocabulary eloquence rates as highly as sartorial splendour with me.

I've actually mis-read it as tribalism before!
I didn't immediately recall figging, but when I looked it up I remembered hearing about it before. There was a story getting around about a couple of gay guys that tried it, but didn't have any ginger root so they thought what the hell...we'll try it with chilli. They evidently ended up in hospital in a bad way...even seriously halucinating! Evidently many chillis contain chemicals that affect the nervous system (eg numbing your mouth), and also a very mild halucinogenic which in normal servings, and taken in the normal way, have little or no noticeable effect. However, introduced anally, the uptake is much higher and quicker, directly into the bloodstream through the thin "porous" membranes of the lower intestine, and the effect is greatly heightened. (This is why virus's, including hepatitis and HIV, are transmitted so "efficiently" during unprotected anal sex.)
I don't think I need to caution you to be careful what you put up there, but just in case...half a glass of wine will get you very drunk, and much more will have you in the emergency room, and a stomach pump will do you no good. Substantial blood transfusions will be the order of the day. And champagne (or other fizzy carbonated drinks like coke etc) can "drown" you. So much CO2 is taken in to the bloodstream that normal respiration can't clear it quickly enough. It replicates drowning where the reduced oxygen and elevated CO2 levels can kill you.

Ooops! I forgot...I had another "F" word for you. Frottage, as practiced by frotteurs. Although, I believe frottage is now referred to as Frotteurism in psychiatric circles, so as not to confuse it with the original "artistic" activity of frottage.

Frottage in the "Artistic" sense is when you hold paper over an object and rub it with a pencil, charcoal etc to make a copy of the design/relief. You probably did it with coins as a kid. It's not hard to see how the term was applied to rubbing, through clothing, against another person for sexual thrill. The victim is usually non-consenting, and it normally is compulsive behaviour on the part of the frotteur. Most try to disguise their intent by doing it in crowded places ie trains, buses, elevators, crowded bars etc. Others want their victim to know they've been deliberately frotted, and so they grab a lone woman and forcibly rub up against them before running off (and presumably masturbating). I guess if it could be proven to be deliberate it would be a criminal sexual assault.
The problem is evidently so rife in Japan that many peak-hour trains into business districts have "Ladies only" cars, so the gals have somewhere to retreat to.

Evidently it is, even though there was only one gal and 4 guys in the group. A couple of other bands make use similarly (Tribe8 is one... ie tribade), and evidently an Aussie band recorded a song about nd maybe even called scissoring or some such.
