Is it some kind of regional slang?

It's like high-powered onanism. They had a stricter penalty once upon a time.

From Genesis Chapter 38:
"But since Onan knew that the offspring would not be his, he spilled his semen on the ground whenever he went in to his brother’s wife, so that he would not give offspring to his brother.… What he did was displeasing in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death also."

Anand… Onan… perhaps there is some connection.
