Cleveland steamer

The Cleveland steamer is a form of coprophilia, where a man or a woman defecates on a partner's chest. There is also an alternative method where a man or a woman defecates on a partner's chest then spreads the feces around with his or her buttocks in a sexual manner.

In addition to receiving news attention through its use in a U.S. Congress staff hoax email and being addressed by the United States Federal Communications Commission State Of Shock | Shock Jocks | Pop Culture News | News + Notes | Entertainment Weekly | 1, the Cleveland steamer has been a topic of radio, television, and music.

Usage examples

In 2001, the TV show Family Guy used the term in the episode, "Mr. Saturday Knight", where Peter Griffin becomes a prostitute. While he is standing on a street corner, his wife Lois drives by and stops at a traffic light. He propositions her, then asks her if she would like a Cleveland steamer. According to the official Family Guy episode guide they only got away with using the term because Seth Green, an actor on the show, told the censors it was a nonsense phrase, using the name of another character, Cleveland Brown. (The original line was supposed to be, "Half & Half," but was rejected by the studio.) The Cleveland steamer reference has since been cut out of rebroadcasts of the episode on Fox as the term has become more widely known, but remains unedited on Adult Swim and TBS.
In the "XXX Wife" episode of the Adult Swim cartoon show Stroker and Hoop, Stroker wins an award for "Best Cleveland Steamer" in a pornographic film.
In 2002, the Detroit, Michigan talk radio show Deminski & Doyle began an educational half-hour discussion of urban-legendary sex acts with the statement, "Try to describe carefully what a 'Cleveland steamer' would be...." Fifteen months later, the Federal Communications Commission proposed fine of $27,500 to the station's owner, Infinity Broadcasting, through a Notice of Apparent Liability (NAL) that specifically referenced Cleveland steamer in the notice. No less than four years later in May 2006, The Dog House with JV & Elvis of San Francisco, California discussed the same topic on New York radio station WFNY.
In 2005, a young staffer for U.S. Representative Jane Harman made news by sending around a hoax email stating that one of Lyndon LaRouche's followers "decided to drop her pants and plopped a Hot Cleveland Steamer on our carpet. House Janitorial Services is currently cleaning up this wretched filth." The email was sent in response to a string of e-mail messages poking fun at LaRouche followers. But it was the yuck factor that largely contributed to its notoriety. By the end of the year, the event was listed as part of the best of Heard on the Hill (HOH).
In Australia's Big Brother in 2005, the housemates discussed the process of the Cleveland steamer, in the "Uncut" version of the show (later named "Adults Only"; taken off the air in 2006).
