pegging 101

Pegging is the nickname for the act of using a strap-on to perform anal sex. It's great for incorporating prostate stimulation and play, discovering new and exciting sex positions, and even exploring power dynamics and can even flip the script on conventional ideas about roles during sex when the person who may usually be the “giver” becomes the “receiver.”

Most commonly, the term pegging is used to describe a man being penetrated anally by a woman using a dildo + harness, but pegging can be enjoyed by any gender or sexuality – all you need is a strap-on and a partner that’s ready for this rear-end trend.

Absolutely! With that, there are some things to keep in mind - like making sure to communicate with your partner, start slow and small (work your way up!), use plenty of lube to avoid injury or discomfort, and always use an anal-safe toy with a flared base. Take your time exploring what feels good, and never force your body past its limits. Read more on anal safety here: Booty Basics: Anal 101

There are so many reasons why people love pegging, here's a handful:

• It can stimulate the prostate and other orgasmic zones located in and around the anus
• It can allow us to explore new roles in the bedroom
• Dildos can offer new sensations like texture or vibration for the receiver
• Wearing a strap-on can provide unique pleasurable sensations for the giver
• It can be really hot to experience your partner in a totally new way!
