Boong-Ga Boong-Ga is a popular new Japanese cabinet video-game. The cabinet has the hindquarters of a bent-over mannequin sticking out of its front. Gameplay consists of prodding the mannequin’s buttocks with a special outsized plastic finger while your opponents whimper and grimace onscreen. The more skilled your bottom-poking, the more virility points you score. A testimonial to your rumpular studliness is printed on a bit of cardboard at the end of the game for you to show to others.

“On the other hand, it depends on the individual. I think there are a lot of young boys who can play a game like (Boong-ga, Boong-ga), and know that it’s not appropriate to go out into public and start pinching and poking people.”

Jack Morin, author of a sex manual, Anal Pleasure and Health, agreed. “Obsessions generally occur in response to intense prohibitions, which give the forbidden object heightened significance,” he said. “The prohibitions work both ways. They encourage some people to ‘tune out’ the forbidden area or activity, while others get obsessed about it. Sometimes you see both reactions within the same person — and perhaps within the same culture as well.”
