What is pegging?

Ever tried pegging? The girls that get it, get it. Here’s what you need to know if you’re intrigued by this ever-growing kink.

What is pegging?

Pegging is a sexual practice in which a person with a vagina (usually a cisgender woman) uses a strap-on dildo to penetrate a person with an anus (usually a cisgender man) for sexual pleasure.

 

Do I have to be dominant to peg someone?

Not at all. Whilst the connotations around pegging might seem that way, that’s just what we’ve socially tied it it to. Pegging is simply an exploration of different physical sensation and doesn’t have to be tied to any power dynamic at all.

However, if you are a sub struggling to see how you could still feel subby whilst pegging someone, you can see it in the light of pegging someone is giving somebody else pleasure- it’s ultimately an act of service. 

This goes the opposite way also. You don’t have to be sub for someone to peg you- it’s simply a different portal to pleasure. 

 

Why try pegging?

Pegging is an ever-growing kink, especially as more men are starting to explore their g-spot and get over the stigma around male anal play. Pegging can ignite new feelings of intimacy and trust, it can also give you an interesting sense of how it feels to be the other person in the sex that you usually have. 

If you truly get enjoyment out of giving pleasure, for example, if you love giving a blowjob for the sheer knowledge that your partner got excited, you will probably enjoy pegging someone. And if you’re very comfortable with receiving pleasure and exploring new sensations, exploring the feeling of being pegged could be fun for you. 

Ultimately, pegging simply opens your mind to new pleasures and perspectives, and often brings you close to your partner in a whole different way. In a future, more sexually open society, pegging will likely be a lot more common than it is today, so why not get ahead of the curb and explore?
