The neologism "pegging" was popularized after it became the winning entry in a contest for the "Savage Love" sex advice column, held by Dan Savage in 2001 upon observing that English lacked a common name or dictionary entry for the act.[1]

Pleasurable aspectsEdit

Some may find stimulation of the anus, rectum, and especially the prostate, pleasurable. Prostate stimulation may even lead to an orgasm.[2] (see Prostate massage#As a sexual practice for more information).
