About

Iglooing is a slang term for a sexual act that involves defecating into a condom, putting the condom in the freezer, then using the frozen result as an anal pleasure toy. Though it dates back to the mid-2000s online, the term went viral on social media in 2023 after a clip of the podcast Sexted My Boss in which the hosts read a fan-submitted story about a person who met a man supposedly into the fetish became popularized on TikTok.

Origin

On February 28th, 2003, an anonymous Urban Dictionary^[1] user submitted a definition for "Iglooing," reading, "to shit in a condom & freeze it, thus creating a fecal-dildo" (shown below). Several other definitions for "Iglooing" that describe the same act appeared around the same time. The act has also been called an "Alaskan Pipeline."^[3]

The term laid largely dormant online for nearly 20 years until January 31st, 2023, when the TikTok account of the podcast Sexted My Boss^[2] posted a video in which one of the hosts reads a fan-submitted letter about a woman who purportedly met two men who were into the fetish. The clip gained over 5.1 million views in nearly one month (shown below).
