"Pegging" - Practice Makes Perfect [Wikipedia]

Wikipedia [below] comes up with a source for the term 'pegging', but there is an earlier one:

Frontier America's male brothels, or "peg houses," which took their name from the Mediterranean brothel tradition of displaying available boys on a long rack.

The boys were anally impaled on pegs of various sizes abutting the rack, to help customers choose an appropriately capacious catamite.

Pegging describes a sexual practice in which a woman penetrates a man's anus with a strap-on dildo.



The origin of the neologism was a winning entry in a June 21, 2001, contest in Dan Savage's Savage Love sex advice column.

In the column, it was a specifically heterosexual term.

The competition was held after an observation was made that there was no common name for the practice of females penetrating heterosexual men with a dildo.

Because the term is quite new, many people use different terms for "pegging", such as "bend over boyfriend" (commonly shortened to BOB) from the popular video series of the same title.



It Gives Me Great Pleasure

The act of pegging can be enjoyable for both partners: men may find stimulation of the anus, rectum, and adjacent organs, particularly the prostate, enjoyable provided that enough lubricant is used.

Women may get direct stimulation from the dildo, from its base, from vaginal or an anal "butt plug", or in the case of a form of double-ended dildo, from vaginal penetration on the other end.

Additionally, a woman could use a secondary vibrator, between the dildo and her clitoris, to get pleasure from pegging.

Some men and women may also find pleasure in the psychological aspects of submitting and dominating, respectively.

However, as BDSM practitioners might point out, the act of being penetrated is not necessarily experienced as a submissive act, nor is the act of penetrating always experienced as a dominant act.

Given the stigma associated with anal sex (and its association with male homosexuality), some people, many of them heterosexual, derive enjoyment from the taboo or gender-transgressive aspects of pegging.

Some females may enjoy the feeling of having a "simulated penis," while some men enjoy the experience of receptive penetration in addition to the ability to masturbate due to the fact that their penis is "free".

More Sex Trends [Metro]

At the turn of the new millennium, experts predicted we would become more free and more playful - and it seems they were right.

Affairs are soaring (as are sexually transmitted infections).

We've celebrated same-sex marriages (and separations).

Crossed new frontiers in mainstream British cinema by featuring uncensored sex scenes.

We're trying to save the environment with sex, courtesy of organisations such as Fuck For Forest

More single women will say no to casual sex or, at least, meaningless sex. In the first episode of Sex And The City, Carrie asks: 'In an age where women enjoy the same money as men, the same success as men, why can't women enjoy sex like men?'

In 2008, it will be all about women having sex like women and not succumbing to stereotypes. We will also see more men faking orgasms because of increases in stress, tension and anti-depressant use. I already see a lot of these cases in my practice.

Affairs are going to continue to rise this year. There are 600 new people registering on my website every week and I have every indication that figure will grow.

After Christmas, I was contacted by lots of people asking me to set them up on dates. All around them is depression: the credit crunch, mortgage repayments and bad news.

They want a distraction, something exciting in their lives. They have money to spend and may not have it this time next year, so want to spend it on having some fun.

Pegging will really grow in popularity this year. This practice of female-to-male penetration is already big in the US

More women are looking for affairs now, too. A few years ago, the majority of people coming to me were men, but that's all changed. Some of them haven't been married that long - some no more than two years.

I can understand why some people find it difficult to leave a marriage, but I do wonder what's keeping some of my clients with their partners. Perhaps it's to do with money and property.

Who knows? Affairs seem to be everywhere now; we see celebrities and our role models at it all the time, which just legitimises it for us.

Gender play and role reversal will be big in 2008. Many academics argue that gender is not fixed but fluid.

We have noticed that more women are curious to explore their masculine side in the boudoir, which can be thrilling for all involved.

Male partners may be a bit apprehensive, but playing sexually in the gender arena is simply that, playing - it does not mean that your girlfriend wants to become your boyfriend. To enjoy gender play to the full you just need to accessorise.

To get into character, use as many garments and sexual aids as you see fit. Girls - try boxers, ties and fake moustaches to help mould your mojo into the opposite gender.

You may want to take things a step further by using a strap-on with your partner. Again, male partners may be a bit apprehensive about this, but we have noticed that, although once a taboo subject, guys are coming round to the idea.

Pegging will really grow in popularity this year. This practice of female-to-male penetration is already big in the US.

More people will also enjoy experimenting with adult toys, especially now that Durex is developing its range (pictured right) and stocking it in supermarkets and chemists up and down the country.

We'll keep going greener sexually, too, which is definitely a good thing. There will be a growing awareness of phthalates in sex toys (potentially harmful chemicals added to plastics to make them softer and more pliable) and ethical companies such as LoveHoney will continue to champion the cause for healthier alternatives.

I hope we'll move towards some much-needed legislation in this area, too.
