A growing sex act that more people are experimenting with is pegging.
Originally, pegging referred to a cisgender woman putting on a strap-on dildo and anally penetrating a cisgender male partner. However, the term has evolved to expand beyond cisgender heterosexual individuals to include anyone strapping on a dildo and anally penetrating a partner.
It is not considered pegging if an actual penis or a non-strapped-on dildo are used or if the penetration is vaginal; it must be a strap-on dildo penetrating anally.
Why do people do it?
The answer here is a simple one: it feels good.
For biological males, pegging allows the prostate, a gland responsible for producing semen, to be directly stimulated. The prostate is a sensitive pleasure center, sometimes compared to the female clitoris. Though the thought of receiving anal penetration is often taboo for hetero males, the biology shows us that anal penetration can feel really, really good for men.
Women who wear strap-ons also tend to find that the rubbing of the base of the strap-op on the clitoris is pleasurable and can even lead to orgasm.
Beyond the physical pleasures, the role reversal often provides a psychological rush similar to one that role playing produces.
In order to get started, you only need a few things. We recommend starting off with a harness, a dildo that fits it, an open mind, and lots of anal lube.
The first time you don a strap-on (or see your partner in one), be prepared to get the sillies out. It might feel uncomfortable and you will probably laugh, so don’t be discouraged if it isn’t perfect the first time. The more you see it and try it, the more natural it will feel.
For those who have never engaged in any type of anal play before, we suggest starting with a small butt plug or anal beads before working up to using a dildo. The anus does not stretch as naturally as the vagina, so warming it up is necessary for a great experience. You can involve your partner or begin your play solo, whatever feels best to you!
As with any new form of sexual experience, be sure to keep the lines of communication open, listen to your partner, and be sure not to take anything too seriously. Start slow and stay focused on making sure both you and your partner are feeling sexy.
Happy pegging!
