What Is Pegging?

Pegging is a sexual act where a cis woman uses a strap-on dildo to penetrate a man’s anus. It allows for a specific form of power and role reversal in heterosexual relationships. But, the definition of pegging has evolved over time. The act itself can be done by people of all genders and sexual orientations. 

At this point, as long as a strap-on dildo is used to provide intense pleasure to another person by stimulating their prostate, it’s pegging. 

Benefits of Pegging

Pegging can be an intensely pleasurable act for both parties involved:

Heightened Pleasure

Pegging can introduce the receiving partner to an entirely new host of sensations. The pleasure comes from prostate stimulation and a switch in the power dynamics. The person receiving is happy to take on a more laid-back, enjoyable role.

For the partner doing the physical labor, a huge draw is the role reversal. The surge of power is arousing enough. Not to mention there are double-ended strap-on dildos available, so the penetrating partner can also enjoy vibration and other stimulation while pegging. 

Intimacy and Trust

Pegging requires a certain level of trust between the partners. In most cases, it’s not something people who’ve only known each other for a short while do. 

A lot of communication is involved as well. Ultimately, the act ends up deepening physical and emotional understanding between the two. 

Exploration and Variety

Especially for heterosexual relationships, pegging can be the door to trying out new and more varied sexual activities. Both parties get the chance to veer away from tradition and let loose. It makes intimacy adventurous. 

How to Get Started with Pegging

Getting started with pegging is easy if you go for the right approach and tools:

Communication Is Key

Often, this will be the receiving partner’s first time inserting something in the anus. The penetrating partner would also be trying on a new role. 

Communicating the fears and desires openly, and setting firm boundaries would make it a positive experience for both of you. 

Choose the Right Equipment

Go for an adjustable and comfortable harness. For beginners, a boxer-brief harness like the Calexotics Packergear might be the best, since it requires less adjustment from first-timers. 

You also want to start with a small dildo and work your way up in length when your partner feels comfortable. Make sure the strap-on dildo is meant for anal play. It will typically have a thinner shape and a curved head. 

Use Plenty of Lubrication

We’re talking about prostate penetration here. Naturally, you will need a huge amount of lube. Your prostate does not produce fluid, unlike the vagina. 

Lube will help prevent any kind of injury and even basic friction during sex. Go for water-based lube since it’s safe with most toy materials. But if your toy isn’t made of silicone, you can use silicone lube due to its stickiness and long-lasting quality. 

Take it Slow

Start slow. Set a gentle pace. Use your fingers and lube first to get your partner comfortable. When you insert the dildo, take regular breaks and check in with your partner if they're comfortable. 

FAQs about Pegging

Is Pegging Safe?

Pegging is ultimately no different from having anal sex. Only, the roles are reversed and there is a dildo involved. If you follow the right method, there shouldn’t be any kind of safety issue.

Use enough lube, pick the right equipment, and check in with your partner on any kind of mental or physical discomfort before, during, and after the act. 

Do I Need to Prepare for Pegging?

Well, it can be a basic courtesy to the other person to clean your rectal area before getting pegged. It’s not necessary but it’s a hygienic preference and can make you feel more confident as well.

You can try cleaning with a Calexotics Ultimate douche or an Aneros Prelude enema. 

Can Anyone Enjoy Pegging?

Yes, anyone can enjoy pegging. It is described as an anal act between a man and a woman where the man is the receiver. But, it’s an old description by every means and doesn’t take all kinds of gender and sexual orientation into consideration.

Ultimately, it can be a novel experience for any couple.
