Rusty trombone is a sexual act in which a man stands with his knees and back slightly
torqued with feet at least shoulder width apart to expose his
anus.[1] A person typically kneels behind the man and performs
anilingus while reaching up beneath the
scrotum or around the body to
manually administer rapid back-and-forth motions of the penis, mimicking the motions of a
trombone player.[1][2] The act is defined primarily by the physical orientation of the partners, the combination of anilingus with manual
sexual stimulation and the resemblance of the
anal sphincter to a trombone mouthpiece; however, other positions and variations are possible.
Usage history
In 2003, the
Detroit talk radio show
Deminski & Doyle began an educational hour discussion of urban-legendary sex acts with the statement, "Try to describe carefully what a '
Cleveland steamer' would be..." and then went into details of the
blumpkin and the rusty trombone.[3] Fifteen months later, the
Federal Communications Commission proposed a fine of $27,500 to the station's owner,
Infinity Broadcasting, through a Notice of Apparent Liability (NAL)[4] that specifically referenced rusty trombone.[3]
Rusty trombone is part of the 2006 party game PervArtistry, where individuals draw sexual pictures on a board, and other players try to guess the sexual synonym for that image.[12]
In 2007,
Salt Lake City,
Utah activist David Nelson started an online petition calling for the repeal of Utah's existing
sodomy law. Reportedly, Utah's existing sodomy law prohibits
oral sex,
anal sex, and the rusty trombone.[13]
Also, in 2007, the rusty trombone was listed as one of 76 entries in The Contemporary Dictionary of Sexual Euphemisms (2007), with its literal definition and sexual corollary.[14]
