Publication celebrates different experiences ‘with mens’ butts’
The Puget Sound Trail has evidently decided that discussions of anal sex and other “experiences with mens’ butts” is worth printing in a student newspaper. A recent column praises the fact that “Pegging, rimming and finger stuff is going on around campus” and the author conducts several anonymous interviews with students about their experience with pegging.
The paper is an independent student-run publication for the University of Puget Sound, a liberal arts college in Washington state. The column was published as part of the paper’s “Happy Trail” weekly sex column.
The column, titled “Everything you need to know about pegging,” begins with the exclamation “Hallelujah, there is good news!” Then, the author, Bennett Johnson, describes how his first exposure to the act came through the television show “Broad City.”
“Pegging can encompass a lot of different types of bodies; generally there is someone wearing a strap-on and someone being penetrated by a dildo or some kind of toy,” one anonymous student tells Johnson. “You can get a dildo that looks like a cis guy’s penis or anything else you want, really.”
“An anus is an anus as far as that dildo is concerned!” Johnson writes. He then discusses how pegging helped the anonymous student he is interviewing navigate their gender identity.
“I identify as genderqueer. I was really intensely thinking about my gender and wondered if wearing a strap-on was something I would feel comfortable with in a gender sense, as opposed to a sexual sense,” one student says. “It is awesome to be able to explore those feelings.”
Two other students described to Johnson what it was like when they first “gave a rim-job and put a finger up a man’s butt.” This was apparently something they were asked to do by the man.
The article then links these acts with masculinity. “It is so easy for a man to take a dominating role, and this is the time when those types of roles are challenged and any vulnerability is switched,” one student said.
Johnson concludes by expressing gratitude for these sexual activities because they are both pleasurable and challenge traditional gender roles.
