Consequently, a boy prostitute who sits on pegs would seem to have a less marketable ass than one who spends his downtime doing, say, squat thrusts or crossword puzzles. Most people who like to fuck butts like to fuck butts that are tight, not butts gaping open after hours on a peg. Savage was initially skeptical of the term, preferring punt or bob for the practice, replying: Savage asked his readers to come up with a name for this practice, and in his column he published this reply (among others) from a reader named Paris P.:īoy prostitutes were sometimes called peg boys because they would sit on pegs to keep their assholes open between clients, so I suggest the word “peg.” The woman would be the “pegger”, the boy would be the “peggee,” the act would be “pegging,” and the boy would write in his personal ad: “I want to get pegged.” Pegging is when a woman anally penetrates a man with a strap-on dildo, and the word was coined from a suggestion in a contest run by sex-advice columnist Dan Savage in 2001. But occasionally one breaks through and becomes part of the common vocabulary, and the sexual sense of the verb to peg is one such word. Deliberately coined words rarely achieve widespread and lasting use.
