So, what does it mean to peg someone and how do you do it? Read on to find out.

What is pegging?

Pegging, sometimes referred to as ‘strap-on sex’, is a sexual practice that typically refers to the anal penetration of a cis man by a cis woman with a strap-on dildo.

Although it’s generally associated with heterosexual couples, lesbian couples can indulge in pegging sex too.

For women who want to take ownership of their sexuality, pegging can be greatly rewarding. 

For men, pegging can be extremely pleasurable, as it stimulates the prostate gland – a key erogenous zone often overlooked.

 

4 reasons why people love pegging

Apart from the sexual gratification that comes from pegging sex, there are various other reasons why people can’t get enough of it, such as:

1. A new perspective on sex – Pegging offers a fresh perspective on sex, as heterosexual couples have the opportunity to play with gender roles,  in particular women navigating the pleasure, which is often associated with men. This in itself is thrilling and can be a turn-on for both parties
2. A chance to explore fetishes – If you’re a fan of BDSM, a man that likes to be dominated in the bedroom, or a woman that likes to take control in the sheets, pegging sex allows you to explore power dynamics and your personal kinks 
3. Experience enhanced orgasms – For men, anal play is ultra-appealing, and often include this in their masturbatory routines. This is because they can experience a phenomenal orgasm from the stimulation of their prostate gland aka their G spot (which is only found in men)
4. Promotes sex-positivity – Due to traditional roles, bringing up the act of pegging will require a lot of confidence. It promotes sex positivity, as it provides an opportunity to talk about sex and your sexual needs, resulting in a more fulfilling sex life

A guide on how to peg someone 

• Make sure your partner consents – As with any sexual activity, consent is key. It’s vital to make sure your partner is open to pegging sex before trying it. It’s a way to establish trust and show you respect the boundaries of your partner and that their voice matters
• Purchase a dildo – As women do not have penises, a strap-on dildo is essential for pegging sex. You’ll need one that can be attached to a harness or inserted by hand. If it’s your first time having sex with a strap-on, you’ll need to consider the size, shape and material to ensure it’s suitable for you and your partner.

• Clean your butt – If you’re the one receiving pegging sex, then you should ensure you clean your private areas for hygiene purposes and avoid discomfort for both you and your partner. 
• Use lots of lube – Unlike the vagina or penis, the anus doesn’t provide enough natural lubrication. That’s why it’s super-important to use lots of lube before penetration with a strap-on dildo (or any other sex toy). It helps enable more comfort and pleasure during thrusting

 

• Start with smaller sex toys – If it’s your partner’s first time experiencing anal play, then you might want to use less-threatening sex toys beforehand to warm them up, such as butt plugs. You can even use your fingers if you both feel comfortable
• Find the right sex position – When it comes to pegging, you need to find the right strap-on sex positions that make you feel comfortable. Sex positions like missionary, doggy style, the eagle, and the speed bump work well for pegging sex. Newbies should start off with simple sex positions before moving on to advanced sex positions
• Clean sex toys – After pegging, always make sure you thoroughly clean the strap-on dildo along with any other sex toys used during the session with warm water and soap. This is essential for hygiene purposes and your safe sex routine, as using uncleaned sex toys can result in bacteria and yeast infections and can even transmit STIs
• Communication – People can sometimes feel quite vulnerable after experiencing a sexual act for the first time. It’s also important to keep up communication during pegging to ensure you’re both happy with what’s happening, and afterwards, to let each other know how you feel about the whole experience

Remember, patience and taking things steady is essential when learning how to peg someone. It also allows the receiving partner to get used to the sensation while you become more familiar with what appeals to them.

Note: Do not share sex toys, and if you’re in an open relationship, have a different set of sex toys for each partner. You can also put condoms on penetrative sex toys for extra safety
