Sounds like one we do called Bashing the Bishop - to the tune of Saturday Night On.
In the chorus the sticks are held at a suggestive height and position and first the Squire's side hits the bagman's side, then the others have a turn. You can put in groans or screams if you wish and some dancers move their stick to make it appear as if it's getting shorter.
I've even seen it done gently, with a caressing motion and very suggestive vocal effects.
But when we dance for a family type audience, we can do it with plain sticking, none of the rude stuff.
