It's funnier when you know the origin. In medieval times hallucinogens from mushrooms were rubbed on the skin. Women often applied it on a broom handle and then...well, rode it. It created the sensation of floating or flying, and people who did it were often accused of witchcraft. So, Harry Potter features a cast of underage wizards enacting a medieval drug/sex act.
