‘Hamstering’ has become a popular TikTok trend in recent days.
Weird trends keep popping up on social media and the latest to catch our attention and leave people curious is called ‘hamstering.’
People are paying attention to it, not just for how it’s done, but also for its unique approach.
Similar to how TikTok popularized car dates, hamstering is going even farther.
It’s when a partner sits on the roof of a car with just their pants on and their partner inside performs oral s**.
Hamstering is called this because it looks like a hamster drinking water from the metal spout in its cage.
A lot of people use TikTok to show their humor or wonder about the trend, but some jokingly say they’ll practice dancing to show their partners or make sure nobody walks in on them.
In theory, this trend is gaining followers, even though it seems unlikely to work in practice.
Zachary Zane, who writes about s**, said he didn’t think anyone had tried this before TikTok made it popular.
“I had never heard of this position before last week,” he admitted to Mashable.
“But I bet you a few very adventurous people are now trying it out and seeing if it’s feasible.”
Zane believes it can be done, but it depends largely on the individual’s height, weight and core strength.
S** educators and podcast hosts Amy Baldwin and April Lampert echoed this concern, pointing out that the giver may find themselves in an uncomfortable, awkward position.
“The giver will likely have to contort their body and their neck in a way that may be really uncomfortable and unsustainable,” they said.
Pauses may be needed to finish the act, so it’s more about the new experience than about the pleasure itself.
Honestly, it feels more like a game than a s**ual revolution, as most do it for the excitement of telling about it on TikTok, not for pleasure.
As Zane put it: “These people aren’t likely trying it because it’s pleasurable… It’s more to say that they’ve done it.”
Even so, Baldwin and Lampert state that if you’re playful about it, using your s** can be entertaining and let you try new things.
“S** is intended to be fun,” they noted, adding that trying new things, even if they’re logistically difficult, can bring excitement.
And if you ever try driving while hamstered, Zane wants you to remember: “For the love of God, make sure the car is in park.”
