Perhaps you've seen the drawing of girls watching boys working their way along a bench, each peg they are to take up their ass larger than the previous. This story explores what would happen if one of the boys rose to perform this challenge well.
*
Ryan straddled the bench in competing position, his lubricated hand absently stroking the wooden peg before him. He was doing what any good competitor does. He was mentally rehearsing what was to come. The background noise was a murmur of voices in the darkness of the seating area. People moved around him on the stage, other competitors with their coaches and some crew, but he tuned them out as he got his head ready for the race.
There was a reason he had risen to be the pegboard champion this year. He was the first guy he could find in the scant history of the competition that actually put effort into winning.
"Two minutes." The quiet voice in his earbud was his coach. His phone was sitting on top of his bag of gear, just behind his bench. She was in a call with him. The only things the rules permitted his coach to say to him were official announcements from the judges. He rose to spend a minute rechecking, again, the six pegs fully secure to the bench, rechecking that the lubrication he'd applied had full coverage. He'd discovered a benefit of this last-minute check, the lube was freshly wetted and his right hand had a thin coating of lube as well.
He allowed himself a glance at his competition. They were the usual gaggle of confused college boys, not entirely sure of what they were doing even now, at the end of the competition season. Ryan had the impression there were sororities who never brought a guy back to compete a second time. It appeared some sororities treated the whole thing with casual negligence.
This wasn't too surprising. After all, when the whole competition started two decades earlier it was just a way for college women to dominate and humiliate college men.
The sounds in the dark suggested there was a larger live audience than usual. He knew most of the audience, far more than fit in an auditorium, would watch the competition livestreamed online. There were more cameras than usual, sorority sisters majoring in Communication getting production experience as well as a great view.
Ryan was wearing his competition uniform, a lavender babydoll nightgown with matching g-string. He competed for Lavender Lambda. He didn't recognize the boys he was competing against, but he recognized their uniforms: Green Gamma, Blue Beta, Pink Pi. The Leopard Lambda at the furthest bench represented the same sorority, from a different university. They all wore feminine nightwear as one of the many ways the competing boys were to be humiliated. In fact, the rules required the boys try on their competition uniform in a retail store during regular hours before purchase.
Ryan had decided to embrace the challenges and start winning after his second competition, back in October. Simply showing up to compete paid all his college expenses and gave him a little spending money, but his contract also said he'd get a percentage of Lambda Lavender's share of the income from competing. Winning increased his income.
"Thirty seconds."
Ryan took his seat in the starting position. He switched on his performance smile, it wouldn't change until the competition was closed. He left hand reached back to pull the string aside from running up the cleft of his buttocks. Keeping his uniform out of the way was the only thing his left hand would do. He'd developed the muscle memory to give that detail little attention.
"Three, two one." With the starting tone, Ryan rose up, his right hand on the first peg just enough to be sure he would land on it quickly. Moving beyond competing on time alone, he also competed for the bonus points awarded for performance style. It was in the rules, but few of the boys in the competitions were prepared for such details. It didn't seem many of the boys in the competition even knew there were written rules. Settling on the first peg within seconds, the four inches long and 3/4 inches in diameter, embedded up his ass, he gave a "present," raising both feet off the ground and his right hand in the air before continuing. The second was five inches long and one in diameter, the third six inches and 1 1/4 in diameter. On each one he presented before moving forward.
The first three were easy ones, done in a several seconds each despite the time spent collecting style points and the expanding length and diameter. The fourth and the fifth, he'd learned, required a bit more care because of how far up his rectum they extended into him and the contact with his colon. For these his right hand brushed over the rounded tip as it reach down to guide it in, slipping on just a bit more lube. He moved his hips as he took the peg in, attending to the sensation as he was penetrated. These two pegs were taken slower, but still fast from the viewpoint of the audience. It had taken five weeks of practice every night in the last weeks of the fall semester to master that technique and develop the ability to do it quickly, for each of the two largest pegs. Presenting, feet off the floor, won style points because the competitor demonstrated full penetration by taking all their weight on the bench. The fifth and last peg was eight inches long and 1 3/4 inches in diameter. His feet up, he faced the audience with his right hand in the air.
A quick glance told him he'd finished far before the others, but the rules required him to hold his position until permitted by the judges to move. Of course, no clock was displayed to the competitors so he never knew his time until the competition was over. His performance smile shifted to a more genuine smile of victory. He smiled and held his pose, waiting.
"Fastest time. Style points awarded." His coach reported the judges decisions as they were made. He knew he was fastest, none of the others had finished, even yet.
He began to wonder why he wasn't being permitted to drop his feet. Taking a better look at the competition, he saw the Leopard Lambda was stuck, unable to go all the way down on the fourth peg. The poor guy had stopped partway down and was struggling instead of conceding his loss. This kept the closk running. Green and Blue had finished after Ryan, while Pink had stepped entirely off the bench before finishing. In the rulebook, this was called a balk.
"Lavender, please coach Leopard." Ryan had been directed to do this once before. His sole responsibility was to make sure the other competitor understood the rules about finishing or stopping. If he couldn't do the fourth peg, he was supposed to go back to the third peg, a concession.
Finally allowed to put his feet down, he rose carefully from the peg. He went to the Leopard, dropping to one knee beside him. "You understand the rules?"
The Leopard grunted his "uh-huh." He was sweating and his legs were starting to shake from the strain.
Ryan outlined his options anyway. "You can retreat to the third peg and end there, you can rise and walk away, or you can go the rest of the way down on the peg."
The Leopard strained to speak. "Want ... this ... this peg."
"Do you know how to do it?"
The poor guy shook his head. "Hurts."
"Try this. Rise up an inch. Move your butt in a little circle around the peg. Keeping moving in that circle as you go slowly down. You'll feel it when you're in the right spot to be penetrated further."
The Leopard groaned softly as he forced his legs to push back up. It didn't take him long for his face to relax as he settled fully on the bench.
"There you go. Practice that on your training bench." Ryan gave him a smile and returned to stand behind his assigned bench.
