I was Butt Plugged by a Korean Kiddy…
Pinch a Korean man or boy’s nipple and they’ll accuse you of perversion (변태) but you can stroke and touch them everywhere else (except in the most obvious of places), and they won’t see anything wrong with it. Even the bum hole isn’t exempt a digital delving though this is a jokey pastime of kids and much more likely to occur between children or from children to adults. It would be extremely odd for an adult to start surprising his or her work colleagues with a digital ‘ddong-ch’im.’ Apparently, manual butt-plugging, as a form of humour, is widespread across east Asia and has a long history. Naturally, there is an association between the ddong-ch’im, and that other Korean obsession, poo!

note, how the buttocks are tightly clenched. I'm not sure about the facial expression as it somewhat resembles a blow up doll
But the actual purpose of this post was to expose an excellent Korean game I discovered, entitled JJileo-jjileo which being at the juncture where poo meet ‘the finger,’ brilliantly demonstrates more Korean customs and humour. Enjoy… (Note– I have recently noticed the game breaks down after several minutes, hopefully this is only temporary – for an interesting insight however, it is still worth a visit).

When I taught kindergarten the first few dong-chim’s I received were understandably “shocking.” Then it was funny. Then it got annoying.
So my advice? When a kid gives you one, give them one right back.
Some of the younger ones see it as okay to ddong-ch’im your bollocks!
That’s just wrong.
Where is this statue? I showed it to a Mongolian friend and she was asking where she could find it.
I actually don’t know as it wasn’t one of mine but one I stumbled across.
i wonder… does adults, teenagers or college students are also performing this? what about in the bathhouse where everybody’s naked and butt holes are easily exposed… have you ever find someone (a kid, a teen or maybe an adult) performing this to other naked person?
I have not witnessed this in a bathhouse situation.
