Safe "Pegging"

Use condoms, even with sex toys to prevent
STD/STI transmission

Ed Strong

Leave it to the French and the
sexy Judy Minx to remind us that if you share penetrative sex toys with
your partner(s), you should use condoms to prevent the spread of STIs
(sexually transmitted infections) and bacteria. Next time you strap on,
remember the rubber.

Use a new condom every time a sex toy is inserted into another
person.

The public service message [above],starring two randy women, several
sex toys, and a lot of condoms. There are subtitles, but you'll
definitely get the message. And if you don't, here's a brief
translation:

"It's charming... even among girls... Condoms don't just appear with
the wave of a magic wand... Sex toys can transmit STIs. Use a new condom
for each penetration."

For advice on the care and cleaning of your sex toys, see the
recommendations of Good Vibrations.

"Wikipedia
comes up with a source for the term 'pegging', but there is an earlier
one:

Frontier America's male brothels, or "peg houses," which took their name
from the Mediterranean brothel tradition of displaying available boys
on a long rack.

The boys were anally impaled on pegs of various sizes abutting the rack,
to help customers choose an appropriately capacious catamite.

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

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.
