A “Paper Bag Situation” is a crude, colloquial expression describing a scenario in which one partner is perceived as so physically unattractive by the other that a paper bag is placed over their head during intimacy, ostensibly to make the encounter more tolerable. The phrase is generally used in a derogatory or humorous context and reflects more on the speaker’s insensitivity than on the person being described.
