If you haven’t been keeping up on your Broad City or don’t like to watch porn, then you might not know that pegging is a huge trend right now. 

Pegging typically means that a woman-identified person uses a strap-on dildo to penetrate a male-identified person anally, although folks of any gender may call using a strap-on on a receiving partner as pegging. I love this trend, because it means straight cis-males are growing out of the idea that anything close to their butt makes them gay. 

Yay to people being comfortable with their bodies and allowing themselves pleasure!

Why Pegging Feels Good

Welcome to the quickest anatomy lesson ever! Like the G-spot in women, men have a “P-spot” and guess where it is? What, what, it’s in the butt! 

The prostate gland, located about two inches into the anus on the front wall, is responsible for making cum creamy, and is also totally pleasurable. Prostate stimulation can even be called “milking” the prostate.

How To Peg a Guy (or receiving partner of any gender)

Pegging is most commonly referred to with a strap-on and a dildo, but it could also be done with an anal toy – harness or not. I have a harness and paired it with a realistic (but on the slim side) dildo

Make sure to take all the typical warm-up steps for having the best anal sex. Make sure your partner is ready and do not make the dildo the first thing that’s inserted! Have your partner use the bathroom and possibly even use an enema or anal douche – this is important! It will make them more comfortable and will probably save you some messy cleanup. 

When you’re ready to play, use a finger, then two, then work up to a toy. Be sure to use lots of lube and when your partner feels ready. Add some extra lube to the dildo and to them. Stand behind your partner and have them bend over and spread their cheeks. Using your hand (even if you have a harness) guide the dildo into their butt, slowly but also smoothly. Have them breathe deeply – especially if it’s a new sensation for them. Ask them what they want and give them more/deeper/faster when they tell you to.

My Honest Review of Pegging

My partner really liked being pegged, and it’s always satisfying to make your partner happy. If only for their pleasure alone, I would absolutely try pegging again.

For my personal experience, I would say that prepping beforehand is key. Make sure your partner has taken care of themselves down there before you dive in because it could make the event more of a turn off than it might be if everything were clean.

I would also suggest having some kind of insertable dildo or butt plug for yourself – unlike with a real penis, it’s not directly pleasurable to be the one pegging. 

There is definitely a bit of a learning curve, as someone who doesn’t have a penis and therefore has no clue how to control one. Maneuvering and dipping in and out can take some practice, even with a well-fitting harness, but that can be part of the fun!
