'Pegging' Sets the Internet Alight, Just in Time for the Weekend
Take one gossip item about an alleged royal’s bedroom activities, a sex act that Dan Savage first helped coin a name for 21 years ago, and watch the internet catch light.https://www.thedailybeast.com/pegging-sets-the-internet-alight-just-in-time-for-the-weekend
The world, we are all acutely aware, lost its innocence some time ago. As soon as something is new, it is consumed by us human jackals online and off, talked about endlessly, new angles and snark devoured in a matter of minutes in the manner of piranha discovering a fresh human leg. Adam and Eve couldn’t say no to that damn apple, and here we are.
Until this week! This week, where once there was ignorance there are the collective, bright, shining eyes of discovery. The world has apparently found out about “pegging”! Pegging has united people in a moment of “Oh, that’s what that means”—unless you’re Dan Savage or a reader of his or someone who has been pegging away happily enough with their partner/s, in which case you’re rolling your eyes at the basic-ness of it all.
“What term, from this day forward, will be the commonly accepted slang for a woman fucking a man in the ass with a strap-on dildo?” Savage asked his “Savage Love” readers 21 years ago. “Pegging” came forth the answer.
The neologism has returned to the public square as the sexual act at the center of a widely shared blind gossip item posted on DeuxMoi. The item claims an unnamed, heterosexual member of the royal family is into this particular sexual activity. The blind gossip item says this royal’s extramarital affair is an “open secret in London and amongst the English aristo set, and is the talk of every party and newsdesk.” How very Bridgerton, and Lady Whistledown!

Poor Prince William, doomed never to escape rumours of that business with the Marchioness of Cholmondeley nor of his alleged inability to type, though it is the former that concerns us today. “Prince William affair” was trending on Twitter yesterday in conjunction with a much more eye-catching hashtag that suggested Britain’s future king has already been crowned the “prince of pegging.” I know what you are thinking: When did the queen hand out that special favour?? But actually, the British public bestowed this title.
Before we go too far down this road, though, I should note that William’s purported love of pegging — which is to say, having a cis woman (probably, based on the forthcoming context clues) penetrate him anally with a strap-on — derives from pure speculation. Nothing here comes remotely close to being confirmed. Naturally, the Cambridges have not commented on nor acknowledged the hashtags, and again, I must emphasize that it’s not clear William even knows how to use a computer. At the very least, though, I can tell you how we got here. Maybe you would like to know.
Why do people think Prince William loves to be pegged?
In short because celebrity-gossip-slash-PR-account DeuxMoi ran a rare royal blind item this week. Like all the other blinds on DeuxMoi, it is unverified and quite possibly rubbish, but here’s what it said: “This is so salacious I’m almost too shook to share with you (but will anyway). This British royal’s extramarital affair is an open secret in London and amongst the English artisto set, and is the talk of every party and newsdesk. At a recent media party, I was told the real reason for the affair was the royal’s love of pegging, which his wife is far too old fashioned to engage in. The wife doesn’t mind her and in fact prefers her husband getting his sexual needs met elsewhere, as long as things don’t become emotional, which was the case with the last woman.”
Of course, there are a couple of royal husbands who could potentially fit this bill, but only one can be the “prince of pegging” (i.e., the hashtag that started trending with #princewilliamaffair after this blind went viral). People suspect William because of the flap with the Marchioness.
What was that flap with the Marchioness? ..................
