An ancient
time-honored form of love-making whereby one partner ('the Maggot') consumes (ingests) the bodily excretions, effluvia, ejacula, infectious discharge or waste by products of the other partner ('the Host'). Traditionally, the Maggot will have his or her hands and legs bound, will propel him or herself in a wriggling type motion and will suckle the
anus,
vagina, penis, other orifices or open infectious wounds of the Host in order to demonstrate devotion, love, respect and tenderness towards the Host. These actions of the Maggot are referred to in the community (known informally as 'the Maggot
Tree') as 'Maggoting'.
There are
sub-specialties within Maggotry. Some partners engage in Traditional Maggotry and limit consumption to the Host's infected wounds (such as bedsores, boils and infected surgical incisions). Others engage in Sexual Maggotry which focuses more on the ingestion of the secretions, waste and ejacula of the Host's
anus and sexual organs. Still others prefer Neo-Maggotry (treated with derision in the Maggotry world) where the Maggot will eat
food products (most usually ice cream or peanut
butter) out of the Host's
anus.
