Glass ceiling

A more accepted and commonly used version of the sexual act of a Cleveland steamer- the 1st party will willingly hold or place seran wrap extremely close, if not on their face. The 2nd party will drop their trousers, and defecate on the seran wrap, thereby creating all of the alleged sensual fun and none of the obvious mess.
