WHY does pegging make straight couples burst into song?


Awesome image (and many others) by Mr. Eczeman.

Just the topic of this week’s SF Chron column, Bend Over Onstage, Boyfriend: Violet Blue observes that the “pegging” adult entertainment (and sex-ed) trend is on the rise. No, the awful double-entendres only *begin* in the title. A girl’s gotta have fun. Snip:

Now that we all know that David Duchovny’s hands weren’t only kept in glass cases in “Zoolander” because he was the world’s former superstar hand model, I think we’re all ready for a conversation about pegging. While this topic might have been a hard sell with my editor even a week ago, now that a mainstream actor is publicly in sex-addict rehab, discussing the art of male receptive heterosexual anal sex seems quaint in comparison.

I’m calling pegging an art because there’s more than one comedy stage act centered on the topic. And to call the entertainment acts popular would be an understatement: in fact, pegging is giving vociferously anti-sex-ed Sarah Palin‘s school-aged daughter’s baby bump a run for its money. First we had singin’, swingin’ sex comedy duo The Wet Spots and their cult YouTube video “Do You Take It?” rage through San Francisco in March. It was easy to write it off as one of those Canadian things. But now we have Brooklyn’s Pack of Others lubing up this weekend’s Fringe Festival 2008 with — oh, I know you guessed it — an entertainment act called “Peg-Ass-Us.”

Is this onstage strap-on funhouse ride going to stop before someone loses an eye?

I just want to know, what IS it about getting f-ed up the butt by a girl that makes a guy want to sing and dance? Of course if something feels good, then humans are going to do it, and for decades, eager sex-toy customers have been singing “A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock And Roll” on a fairly regular basis. As Carol Queen oh so wisely put it about 20 years ago while selling her millionth strap-on harness set to a straight couple, “Straight couples are re-inventing anal sex.” (…read more!)

* Note: yes, I did write the popular, bestselling book on the topic. But since not a single one of my lovers has ever read a book of mine (except one that I’m aware of), everyone’s dignity is thankfully preserved in every respect. So much for having a selfish mission.

Update: This afternoon, this column is *ruling* SF Gate right now; comments, readership stats, emailed. Second only to stories about Palin. Wheee!!!

  1. i’d like to practice pegging is a new open mind situation… bein penetrated by a woman would be rgat a new experience… im bi… and i’ve done that with men… but… i think it would be more satisfactorious with women

  2. Heh, so PROUD that you got a an article in newspaper on “pegging!” Holy shit, Violet, you might save the daily newspaper all by yourself. Quick, they need to syndicate your ass!
    Great piece, now if we could just get some really great erotic pegging porn life would be a dream. Most of it either over the top or just not sexy. I get the idea about domination, but that ain’t all there is to it, as I know you know. Really, here’s a vote for quality strapon porn that is cool, hot & educates a little at the same time!

  3. Thanks for always being so pro-peg, and for creating such a great resource as you have. As you noted in your book, there is definitely a lack of good knowledge on the topic out there for couples who are interested. For those of us who know, strap-on sex is exciting, fun, and leaves us with mind-blowing satisfaction.

    My question is this: how have none of your lovers ever read any of your books? Is it also a pre-stip, for example, do you refuse to be with anyone who has read your work? ;-)

    Keep up the great work. :-)

  4. I’m sick of the crap people throw at Sarah Palin:

    “Just think if Palin read Violet. She might have eventually become comfortable with her sexualilty and truly loved being a woman. She’d certainly have become a much BETTER mother, teaching her daughters to love themselves and to enjoy being women. To understand their bodies and protect them, and to have children when they were READY TO BE PARENTS.”

    That’s funny, you’d think if that ‘child’ (nice name for a teen) really loved herself, and loved being a woman, she’d do what she wants, aka have sex with a boyfriend if she wants to. And therefore, she’d take the risk of becoming pregnant. And if she doesn’t want to abort and that’s her decision ? Obviously, it was.

    So Palin’s girl did something wrong because…?
