Donkey show

A donkey show is a supposed type of live sex show in which a woman engages in bestiality with a donkey, which, according to urban legend and some works of fiction, were once performed in the Mexican border city of Tijuana, particularly in the mid-20th century. 

Gustavo Arellano, in his ¡Ask a Mexican!  column, argues that donkey shows are not real. 

As late as 2008, they have been mentioned as a reason to visit Tijuana, and naive tourists may seek them out. 

The "donkey show" myth has been portrayed in several American films, including Losin' It (1983), Bachelor Party (1984), The 40-Year Old Virgin (2005), Clerks II (2006), The Heartbreak Kid (2007), and Cake (2014). 

In the 1981 book New West, a Tijuana taxi driver offers tourists a ride to see a donkey show in the red light district.  

In Mark Winegardner's 2005 book The Godfather Returns, set in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Fredo Corleone's wife Deanna Dunn insists on attending one: "on a whim, they'd headed to Mexico.  When they'd gotten there, Deanna Dunn, insisted on going to see a donkey show. ...  who thought that watching a donkey fuck a teenage Indian girl was a hoot." 

In 2005 the term is claimed to be used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess".
