Pull strands of the peel so that they droop halfway down. Place the tip on your bottom lip so that it protrudes into your mouth to just past your bottom teeth. Close your top lip around it. Half close your eyes and slowly bite down. Repeat until further undressing of the fruit is required and then continue. Ideally, the last two inches should be removed entirely from the peel and then pushed gently with one finger into the side of your mouth so that your cheek bulges. Swallow.

Grasp the banana in one hand, holding it by the stem (the longer bit that looks like a handle). Grab the nub of the other end between your thumb and forefinger. Rip the stem off and pull the peel downward about halfway down the banana. Eat portions of said banana. Pull off more peel as you need it, exposing more of this ethereal delight of the tropics as you go.
Do not eat the bad spots.
Remove the "banana strings" as you go. (The fibrous bits that run the length of the banana between the edible part and the peel.)
Throw the skin away

Proper etiquette is actually cutting it and peeling the skin off (or peeling the skin off then cutting it, I forget which way around. If you don't have a way to cut it or it isn't that posh a place (who does that anyway?) just break it into smaller pieces rather than bite it (making it look sexual). By breaking it you can also carry on the conversation without stopping for ages because you have a bit that takes forever to eat.

It only looks sexual through the eyes of a perv or horny person. Make sure you throw the peel to the floor so that someone falls and delivers us a basic humored comical situation.

Sex is in the eye of the beholder. If a person has a dirty mind, they will make something sexual of just about anything. You can't predict or change how they will interpret your actions. Just go ahead and eat, and don't worry about it.

Peel it, take a fruit knife and cut it into bite-sized slices. Otherwise, eat it like most people do, stop licking your lips with your drooling tongue and ogling the nearest good-looking male in the process.

Unpeel, chop into six pieces across, and then cut each piece longways. Eat with a fork sticking your small finger out on each mouthful. Try with honey and pine nuts.Wicked!

Yes, cut and peel, or if you can't cut, break pieces off and eat as finger food.
At least that is how I do it among mates who are constantly exchanging sexually teasing jokes one to another.

Any way you feel like eating it. There is no proper way to eat a banana.
