Chi Doufu - Eating Tofu

As I begin integrating (a bit) more into chinese culture, I'm finally becoming privy to a host of new and interesting slang. Here's the first gem:
chi doufu: Literally, means "eat tofu". Used in nightclub/bar settings to refer to a guy who just interested in eating a girl's tofu. Before you get worked up, the tofu here refers to the girl's skin (being that most chinese girls have the same white skin color as tofu).  Guys who are out just to hold, caress, kiss and grope a girl's body fall into this category.  I don't think there is a related term for the obvious next step in the relationship; even though english abounds with such food references.  I'm not sure I like the sound of "eat tempeh".
Usage: Ta xiang chi ni doufu (He wants to eat your tofu).
