want to get married, or at least I don't want to get married until I'm real old and there isn't anything else.'
“I nodded. He was right about that in a way, I thought. I knew I sure didn't want to be anything like Mom and have her kind of life.
“'The trouble with sex is that if you're a girl there's always the chance that you'll have a baby,' I said.
“'I know, but there are other ways to do it,' he whispered softly.
“I grinned. I knew what he was talking about, but I decided to play dumb just for fun. 'What other ways?' I asked.
“'A boy can use his mouth on a girl and a girl can do the same with him. That's one way.'
“'And?'
“'The boy can corncob a girl.'
“'What does “corncob” mean?' I asked in a very innocent voice. Actually, I really didn't know.
“'Oh…' His voice started getting husky.
“That's when a boy does it to a girl from behind.'
“'You mean dog fashion?' I asked, mostly to tease him. I could see through his trunks that he was getting a hard on.
“'Well-' He started acting flustered and sat up.'-you can do it that way, but it means doing it right in your rear end.'
“'Oh,' I said in a tone that was designed to leave him guessing.
“'I guess boys do that to each other, don't they?' I asked.
“'Sometimes.'
“'Have you ever?' I asked, rolling over and staring at him full in the face. He turned several shades of color, and started fooling around with a shell on the deck of the raft, like it was the most fascinating thing in the world.
“'Uh, well, yes,' he finally muttered.
“'Come on, tell me about it,' I said in a playful voice. I was really enjoying all this.
“'Okay, but you have to promise not to tell.'
“'I promise.'
“'Well, it happened at summer camp last year. At night after everything was dark, and the counselors were all in the main hut crapping around, a bunch of us kids used to get some of the little fellows and-and we'd take 'em into the woods and stick our pricks up their assholes.'
“'Has anyone ever stuck his prick up your ass?' I asked.
“Poor Billy blushed red. I thought he was just about going to die. 'Yup!' he finally said after a long painful pause. He couldn't look at me.
“'What was it like? Did you like it?'
“'It was okay. It hurt a little at first, but it was okay.'
“I was curious now, real curious. I remembered how nice Dorothy's finger had felt up my bottom, and the candle.. She had only just started to stick that in me when we got caught. I was in a really crazy mood right then, absolutely pupule.
“'Billy,' I said softly, 'would you like to corncob me?'
“'You mean you want me to?'
“He was obviously flabbergasted.
“'I want to see what it's like.'
“'Sure,' he said enthusiastically, that is, if you want to.'
“'Do you want to?'
“'Do you want to?'
“'Okay,' I said to end this silly shadowboxing. “'Okay,' he answered.
“Suddenly he leaped up and dove into the water. I dove after him. He ducked under the raft and came up behind it, out of sight from the beach, and I did the same.
“'Take your suit down,' he ordered in a strained voice.
“I clung to the raft with one hand and, with the other, pulled my bikini down below my hips. It felt great being bare-bottom in the water and I got this terrific feeling of anticipation. When he took down his trunks, I saw his prick. I'd never seen one before, and I was shocked at how long and thick it was.
“'It's so big! You can't get that big thing in, can you?'
“'Sure, only it may hurt a little at first.'
“'You'll be real gentle, won't you, Billy?' I begged.
“'Sure, sure.'
“I felt him come up behind me, and I sort of spread my legs and drew them up and also pushed back with my rump. We were both pretty excited. I felt him fumbling around between my buttocks, trying to find the place, and having a heck of a hard time. Finally, I reached back and took his prick between my fingers.
“'Oh, Peggy,' he whispered, 'take it easy or I'll shoot off.'
“'What's “shoot off”?' I asked.
“He answered me by actually doing it. His penis was between my buttocks searching for my anus when I felt it convulse and this warm stuff spurt all over me back there.
“'Ohhhh, Peggy,' he moaned.
“'What's that warm stuff all over me?'
“'Juice,' he gasped.
“'Can't you get it in?' I whispered. I wanted it in in the worst way now.
“'I–I can't find the place.'
“'Here-it's here,' and I pressed his prick against my anus. I had quite a hard time finding it myself, because I was all covered with cream and his prick was slippery.
“'Ohhhh!' I gasped as I felt this long thick banana shoot up my fanny, much further than Dorothy's finger. It was much thicker, too. It hardly hurt at all. He pushed it up me all the way. It felt tight in there. Then he pulled it out.
“'Ooooh, stick it in me again,' I begged.
“He was accommodating, very accommodating, in fact, and I felt it push up me again. I really loved it. I kept wishing he'd just leave it in, but as soon as it was all the way up he pulled it out again.
“'Do it to me again,' I begged.
“He did, and this time I had an orgasm, entirely from what he was doing to me in my rear end and without anything in front at all. After that we pulled up our trunks, swam around a little, and then climbed up on the raft to rest after that workout.
“'I really liked that, Billy,' I said.
“'Do you want to do it again some time?'
“'Oh yes.'”
Peggy's case is rather typical of anal eroticism. As authorities point out, female masturbation is fairly common. Kinsey reports that “a considerable portion of the masturbation which we have found among infants and young pre-adolescent girls in our sample appears to have been self-discovered. Some 70 percent of the older pre- adolescent girls who had begun to masturbate before adolescence also appear to have discovered the possibilities through their own exploration.” This was undoubtedly Dorothy's case. She introduced it to Peggy. Because girls are much more reticent about sex life than boys, mutual masturbation among them is less common. It does, however, occur.
Significantly, Peggy's masturbation began with clitoral stimulation, quickly escalated to digital penetration of the vagina, and then was combined with digital penetration of the anus. Had she continued to enjoy vaginal masturbation, Peggy would not have become an analist even though she accepted that form of stimulation with pleasure. As authorities such as Redlich observe (Theory and Practice of Psychiatry), the essence of deviation is the preference for some form of sexual activity other than heterosexual genital intercourse. It is entirely possible to enjoy anal or oral sex without being a deviate. One can only be classified as a deviate when the anal or oral stimulation becomes the primary goal and displaces what is usually called normal sexuality.
Like most deviates, Peggy drifted into perversion without much realization on her part of what was
