Answering Your Questions About Pegging

This article answers your questions about pegging. Grab a bottle of anal lube and read on!

For the uninitiated, pegging is when a woman penetrates a male partner's anus with a strap-on. As a term, pegging was popularised by Dan Savage in his SavageLove column back in 2001. It brought this sexy activity into the bedrooms of adventurous and pleasure-seeking couples everywhere. If you’ve never heard about pegging before, allow us to let you in on a little secret – it’s bloomin' awesome!

Why would a woman want to wear a strap-on?

Pleasuring a partner with a strap-on lets you use your hands for teasing and touching other parts of your lover's body. You can ditch boring gender roles and take on the role of the penetrator-slash-pleasure-giver. This can result in spectacular and highly erotic play sessions for both parties. Swapping roles is hot!

Also, if you are blessed with a responsive clitoris and strong pelvic floor, you can even rock, ride and thrust your way to orgasm whilst wearing a strap-on...


 

Why would a man want to be pegged?

There are many reasons for giving pegging a go, but the pursuit of pleasure is at the top of the list. A male-bodied person has a prostate stashed away inside the rectum. This magical walnut of a gland can offer untold pleasures when stimulated. Prostate play is intensely erotic, and orgasms are often more explosive when the P-spot is involved.

If you and your partner are thinking about heading down the pleasure-walk of the anal canal, there are a few things you need to think about first:
  • Communication - open, honest & ongoing.
  • Patience - slowly and gently is the only way forward when it comes to anal play.
  • Lubricant - the anus and rectum aren't self-lubricating, so a generous dollop of anal lube is essential.
  • Building confidence - letting the receiving partner be in control ensures they only go as far and as fast as they are comfortable with, which allows you both to build up your pegging-confidence.

What are the best positions for pegging?

There is no magic position that can only be enjoyed when penetrated by a woman wearing a strap-on. You can enjoy any sex position that works for you both, but we recommend letting the receiver start on the top. This way, they control how much of the dildo goes inside them and at what speed. If they need to sit and breathe for a few moments, they can do that too.
