In recent years, you may have heard something about “pegging,” whether it was on TV or in a conversation with friends. But you might not be quite sure what it actually is.
Pegging is the act of male prostate stimulation through the use of strap-on worn by a female partner. It’s gained in popularity over the past 10 years with an increase in pornographic videos featuring the act and a new found comfort in men who have begun to realize that the reasons they’ve never tried anal is due to a fear of being identified as homosexual. Through most of the past century, the media and society as a whole have taught men that it isn’t ‘masculine’ to enjoy anal sex. Many men have been trained to believe that if they enjoy anal sex they are on a path to homosexuality, even if they have never had sexual desires for men.
