The other day I’m chatting to Craig on the Gmail chat and he drops the word “pegging” in conversation. I asked him if he meant hanging out the washing, but he simply laughed and told me to Google it.

So I did, and the results are definitely NSFW. Read on if you dare.

Turns out that pegging is just a name for something I knew went on anyway. How do I know? Well, a friend told me. His name’s, um, Craik.

Anyway, here’s the Wikipedia definition.

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

No real scandal there. But here’s the photo that accompanies the Wikipedia entry.

Let’s just take a closer look.

That’s some sweet MS Paint work right there

Is that a freakin’ enema bag hanging off the bedhead? I suppose that once you’ve gone down the pegging route a bit of colonic irrigation before beddie byes is rather tame.

Just to make sure I really had my head around this pegging business I went to Urban Dictionary. And holy shit, they never disappoint in the laugh-till-you-shit-your-pants department.

1. anal sex reveresed. instead of the man sticking his penis up the womans butt, the woman wears a strap-on and sticks it up the mans butt.

charles: are you sure jean? you probably won’t feel anything.

jean: i don’t care charles. i’ll do anything for you.

(jean proceeds to peg charles, when all of a sudden, dave comes in the room)

dave: hey charles, do you wanna see eraser – oh, jesus fucking christ!

(kim enters)

kim: fuck! they’re at it again!

dave: what the hell? is jean wearing a…strap-on?

charles: do you guys ever knock?!

Je-sus. I had a hernia reading that the first time. And then I read the second definition.

2. When the tables are voluntarily turned on heterosexual anal intercourse and the female servicee becomes the servicer for the man. Because most women don’t have penises, a strap-on dildo is necessary.

DEFINITION 1
Man: “I really feel like getting fucked in the ass today, but I don’t dig that whole gay lifestyle”

Woman: “Okay honey, then I’ll strap on L’il Pearl and we’ll do some pegging then”

DEFINITION 2
Dutchy: “Jude’s wife fucked him in the ass with a dildo! She pegged him! He’s gonna take his wife’s maiden name!”

As Ant Rogenous would say: “My ovaries!”

But in my Google travels the icing on the cake was a thread from a forum called Women’s Health. The thread in question is in response to this question: Has anyone here tried pegging? No blockquotes. Just go read it.
