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, first argues that donkey shows are not real, but later in the same column mentions reading an early account "in the November 1915 issue of the St. Louis-based medical journal "The Urologic and Cutaneous Review", in which a doctor recalled a case 25 years earlier in which spectators at such a show [...] were criminally tried after a woman died during the copulation".
As late as 2008, they have been mentioned as a reason to visit Tijuana, and naive tourists may seek them out.
In popular culture.
The "donkey show" has been portrayed or alluded to 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). It also gives its name and theme to "The Donkey Show", a musical version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" that climaxes with Bottom (two women in a donkey suit) lower the crotch area onto the pelvis area of Titania, who wears only boots, a thong, and butterfly pasties.
In 2005, the term is claimed to be used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess".
