相撲(すもう)

Sumo ☆☆☆☆☆ CCWFP
(partner) + (eradicate) = 相撲 (Sumo)

Sumo. I've seen a bunch of of straight porn featuring 'sexy sumo wrestler girls,' but I've been unable to find a single gay sumo porn. Which either means, a) gay dudes think sumo are trolls, b) gay dudes have too much respect for the manliness of Sumo to do a x-rated parody, or c) gay dudes just jerk it to regular sumo on the tube for free.
