Shrimping is a sexual term used to describe sucking on someone’s toes during sexual intercourse. Not to be confused with foot fetishes and foot jobs, toe sucking is a very intricate sexual art form, and it is surprisingly difficult to pull off. It needs to be performed at just the right moment, in the proper context, or it can seriously flop. For example, if you suddenly whip out shrimping on your first date after only five minutes of making out, then you’re playing the shrimp card way too soon (known as “crabbing it”). Throwing shrimping into the mix too late is also problematic. If you suddenly start sucking on a girl’s toe after both of you have already climaxed, then you’re way too late. We call this procrastination of toe sucking, ‘shrimp dogg’n.’
Shrimping can also lead to problems, even with the most experienced toe suckers. Some of the many hazards of shrimping include contracting athlete’s foot in your mouth, cutting your gums on a toenail, having terrible breath afterward, or even choking on the big toe. A woman in Idaho actually killed her lover when she sucked too vigorously on his big toe, creating a blood clot that he eventually died from.
Shrimping is a sexual act that is extremely popular in Asia and Newfoundland, where the term first came into use. In the small Newfoundland town of St Anthony, many years ago, the first shrimper was discovered, quite by accident. You see, in Newfoundland, men have extremely short, stubby penises. One night, after a few too many pints at the pub, a local waitress brought home a patron from the bar for a quick ‘shag.’ Apparently, in the midst of her dark room, she wrapped her mouth around his cock and started giving him a blowjob. He moaned and groaned with pleasure, but wouldn’t cum. No matter how hard she sucked, he just kept screaming with pleasure but neglecting to ejaculate. Finally, after an hour and a half, the waitress was so fed up that she turned on the light, only to discover that the man had ejaculated all over his own stomach an hour ago as he jerked himself off, and that she had been sucking his big toe the whole time. Now, as disgusted as the woman was as she ran off into the night, the man sat back on the couch relishing in how good that toe sucking felt, and he soon spread the word at the local pub the next night, until everyone in St Anthony was trying it. Where did the word shrimping come into play? Well, let’s just say people eat shrimp there, so they called toe sucking ‘shrimping.” After all, it is a coastal town.
There is only one other known use of the term shrimping, and that is in Budapest. Here, if a man is shrimping, it means they are standing in front of their partner and bending down and touching their own toes as they get penetrated anally.
1. I’m not into foot jobs, per say, but I do love a good shrimping.
2. I haven’t had a good shrimping since I had that terrible case of Athlete’s foot.
