context_page_description: Oculolinctus, also known as "worming" or eyeball-licking fetishism, refers to the paraphilic practice of licking eyeballs for erotic gratification. In mid-2013, English-language newspapers reported that this fetish had allegedly become popular in Japan, where it was referred to as Gankyū name purei. However, other media have reported that the existence of this practice is a hoax based on a story in a Japanese tabloid and many of the originally reporting articles were corrected or retracted as being possibly a hoax.
