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. A neologism (Greek νεολογισμός [neologismos], from νέος [neos] new + λόγος [logos] word, speech, discourse + suffix -ισμός [-ismos] -ism) is a word, term, or phrase which has been recently created (coined) — often to apply to new concepts, to synthesize pre-existing concepts, or to make older terminology sound more contemporary. ...

Enjoyment

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, and 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, though 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.

Examples in popular media

Pegging has recently been featured in a number of pornographic movies; the first pegging scene (long before the term was developed) appears to have been in the non-pornographic 1970 film Myra Breckinridge, based on the novel of the same name by Gore Vidal, although it was not explicit.
