Pegging is the talk of the town! Rumour has it that it’s even Prince William’s favourite bedroom activity, earning him the nickname “Prince of Pegging” in the English press. It was also crowned Fetish of the Year 2023 in the blogosphere. But what is it really? Could it be something for you and your partner? In this article, the LOVE Team tackles your burning questions about pegging, giving you all the info you need to make an informed decision.
So, what exactly is pegging?
Pegging is a sexual practice where a woman penetrates her male partner's anus using a strap-on dildo. To put it simply, it's anal sex performed with a dildo mounted on a harness or belt. This sex act is often seen as an intimate form of penetration between a woman and a man, allowing couples to explore new sensations and strengthen the emotional and physical connection they share.
Why do men enjoy pegging?
Pegging appeals to men for a variety of physical and psychological reasons. Physically, pegging stimulates the prostate, also known as the "P-spot," which is essentially the male equivalent of the female G-spot. This powerful erogenous zone can lead to a prostate orgasm, which is different from a typical orgasm and much more intense.
Psychologically, pegging will give you the chance to spice up your sex sessions by switching up the traditional roles. Becoming the "passive" partner during penetration can be a novel and exciting experience, allowing couples to explore new dynamics and add a fresh dimension to their intimate play.
If a man wants to be pegged, does that mean he’s gay?
Not at all. Pegging is primarily a heterosexual practice, enjoyed between a woman and a man. So by definition, wanting to be pegged does not make you gay. All men, regardless of their sexual orientation, have a prostate. That means that any man can enjoy the prostate pleasure that pegging can provide.
Why do women enjoy pegging?
Women enjoy pegging for several reasons. First, as we’ve already mentioned, pegging allows you to reverse roles during sex. It offers you the chance to experience penetration from a new perspective, taking on the role typically held by the other partner. This role reversal can bring a welcome change to a couple's intimate life, enriching the sexual experience and renewing shared pleasure. Many women will enjoy the newfound sense of power and control during the sexual encounter.
Is pegging a sadomasochistic practice?
Not necessarily! While pegging can be associated with the world of BDSM, especially if it involves a power dynamic between a dominant (Dom) and a submissive (sub) where the man wants to be dominated by a woman, it can also be a very tender sexual practice between two partners, as gentle as a missionary session. Just like any other sexual act, pegging is highly versatile and depends entirely on your desires and preferences.
What accessories do you need for a pegging session?
To enjoy a satisfying pegging session, you'll need a good-quality strap-on dildo, either a classic model or a strapless model. Feel free to check out our buying guide, How to Choose a Strap-on, to find the model that suits you best. It's also important to have a good anal lubricant on hand for your session. A quality lube will make penetration easier, more enjoyable, and more comfortable. We also recommend thoroughly cleaning and sterilising the dildo after each session for hygiene reasons.
Do I need to clean my anal region before our session?
Many men want to feel cleaner for their partner before being penetrated. You can eat more lightly the day before or use an enema bulb to clean your anus. To add a touch of pleasure, you could also wash your anus with an anal douche in the shower, with the help of your partner, before you begin. This can be a shared, intimate experience. Don't be shocked if you encounter a bit of poop during the act – it's an inherent risk of anal play and not a big deal!
What are the best positions for a pegging session?
We recommend starting with beginner-friendly positions, so you can focus on your partner and their needs. Try the spooning position first. This position allows you to easily control your movements and provides optimal comfort for the male partner, who might be a bit nervous. It's a very tender position that allows you to pamper your partner.
You can also try doggy style, which offers easy access to the anus. This position naturally dilates the anus for easier insertion. It also allows for better control over the depth of penetration. These positions are perfect for beginners and will help you get comfortable with pegging at your own rhythm.
How can I find someone who wants to explore pegging with me?
If you're not currently in a sexual relationship, you can still explore pegging by finding a consenting partner through other means. Specialised dating apps are great for finding someone who shares your desires and sexual vision. Make sure to meet your prospective partner for the first time in a public space and discuss your expectations and needs thoroughly, while following the usual online dating safety rules. This will help ensure you're on the same page before moving forward.
How can I learn more about pegging before trying it?
Thanks to the internet, it's easier than ever to educate yourself about pegging! There are a number of different blogs, forums (like Reddit), and other websites that cover the topic. You can also watch some adult videos to get a practical idea of what to expect. All these resources are just a click away, allowing you to inform and prepare yourself before giving it a go.
Pegging can be an exciting way to spice up your relationship. However, it's important to communicate openly and ensure everyone is on board and consenting to truly have fun. That way, you can explore this practice with confidence and fully enjoy new sensations.
