Pegging

What is it?

Strap in as we talk about strap-ons!
Pegging is the action of females donning a strap on in order to penetrate a male individual for the mutual pleasure of all those involved.
At least that’s the official definition (and accurate when it comes to how pegging first came to be) pegging has now opened up to include gender queer individuals, people of various sexual orientations, and those in non-monogamous relationships.
Whatever form pegging takes the core premise remains the same: Donning a strap-on, accessorized with a toy of choice, and beginning to explore penetrative sex in a whole new way.

Our ‘How To’ Advice

• There are a few key items that you’ll need in order to get in to pegging: A strap-on harness, an appropriate sex toy (or a few), and lubricant.
• The harness should be appropriate to your body, the type of pegging you want, and your own preferences. There are harnesses in the style of underwear, harnesses that accommodate penises, harnesses that  allow for bullets, and many more! Don’t be afraid to shop around.
• As for the sex toy, you’ll need something with a flared base – not just because it’s anal-friendly but also because the toy will need to be secured in to a harness via this base. If using a harness with an O-Ring you’ll need to factor in the diameter of the toy too and find a ring that accommodates it.
• The toy itself should be non-porous and body-safe, with silicone being the best choice. If neither of you have engaged in pegging before then it’s sensible to either start small or train to take the size of the toy that you’d like.
• As for the lubricant, water-based works best with silicone toys. Just make sure that it’s categorised as ‘anal’ or ‘anal friendly’ lubricant if you plan on engaging in anal penetration (the most common form of pegging).
• Pegging can be daunting at first but get the equipment and support right and you should be okay. Use lots of lubricant, take it slowly, and start pegging in a gentle manner. Having a safe word for speeding up and/or slowing down might also be useful for those with additional nerves.

What Are The Key Benefits?

• Pegging has held long-standing appeal among heterosexual relationships because it changes the usual dynamic of who is getting penetrated.
• This can come with a very different mental aspect too, and perhaps even a degree of roleplay, which empowers both people by offering them the space to explore new roles.
• Anal penetration is also very beneficial for the male anatomy – stimulating the prostate and allowing for P-Sot orgasms. Those who have tried it often say it’s some of the most intense sensations they’ve experienced.
• Regular orgasms also help men reduce their chance of prostate cancer, so pegging could literally be a life-saver for some!
Some Extra Tips
• Harnesses can often feel strange at first, so allow some time to adjust and wear your harness around and about the house before engaging in any vigorous penetration.
• Equally, having someone penetrate you anally can be a very unique sensation, so it’s advised that, for first timers, you try using and thrusting with any toy you’ve purchased for couple’s use on your own at first.
• Remember: Never be afraid to apply more lubricant. You may well need more than you think!

Bringing In The Sheets

• Speaking of lots of lube, the fear of getting all that excess fluid all over the place is much less of an issue when using our sheets. Apply away and then simply wash or wipe your sheets afterwards.
• The surface of our sheets can offer a rather solid basis for those getting in to position for some pegging fun. This is especially true of a doggy-style scenario, where a penetrated male might wish to ejaculate freely on the sheets.

Best Used For
