Pegging: meaning, definitions and examples

The term 'pegging' originated in the early 2000s and was popularized by sex columnist Dan Savage in response to the rising interest in non-traditional sexual practices. Although the act itself has existed for much longer, the specific term was coined to provide a label for it in sexual discussions. The word 'peg' itself has various meanings, including to fasten or secure something, which intriguingly ties back to the idea of one partner taking control in the act of pegging. While the practice may have roots in BDSM and power exchange dynamics, its emergence into mainstream sexual conversations reflects broader societal shifts towards openness and acceptance of diverse sexual orientations and practices.
