Despite it making its way into the mainstream world of millennial television (and into the bedrooms of many), pegging is an act that carries the weight of taboo. If you’re familiar with the world of the NYC based show "Broad City", you might have heard of pegging. More recently, it was prominently featured on the show "The Bold Type" - both shows aptly titled their episodes “To Peg Or Not To Peg.” Clearly, this is a question that arises for many!

What is Pegging?

Curious about the meaning of pegging? Pegging is when someone wears a strap-on to penetrate the anus of another person.

What Accessories are Used in Pegging?

Vibrating Harness

Vibrating Velvet Harness ($48)

 

  • Strap-On / Harness
    Harnesses can be made out of a variety of materials and are the mechanisms that the dildo fits into. There are two main types: the O-ring and the Vac-U-Lock system. O-ring harnesses are the most popular and versatile because they are compatible with a larger variety of sizes and types of dildos.  Consider the Sportsheets Vibrating Harness for $44.00, shown above.
  • Harness Compatible Dildos
    There are a variety of options for dildos! For harness compatibility, look for a flared base. Remember, bigger is *not* always better here. Make sure to communicate what is comfortable for you AND your partner prior to purchase. Take a look at the Fun Factory Limba, a poseable dildo for $69.00 that both partners can enjoy!
  • Wearable Dildos (Strapless Strap-On's) 
    These types of dildos can be 'worn' with or without a harness depending on if the wearer wants to experience penetration while pegging. We love the Strap-On-Me Medium Vibrating Harness for $139.00, designed to bring pleasure to both the giver and receiver! 

How to Peg a Partner: A Step-by-Step Guide

Regardless of gender or sexuality, anyone can experience the pleasure of pegging. If done correctly, it can be not only sexy, but empowering. While mixing things up in this manner may raise a few questions, we’ve laid out a few steps to help ease your nerves!

  1. Communicate Your Desires & Get Consent
    Talking it out with your partner is the first and most important step. Get a feel for what you both are looking (or not looking) for from embarking on this sexual adventure. Don’t force anything that neither of you is comfortable with. Keep in mind that booty play doesn't have to be pegging- if you're interested in this sensation, but not ready to peg, check out butt plugs

  2. Purchase Supplies
    Once you’re both ready, shop for a strap-on / harness and dildo (they are sometimes sold together!) that feels comfortable. The partner wearing the harness should consider what materials feel good and fit them. The receiving partner should communicate what they’re comfortable feeling pegged with. Think about the size, shape, and form of what you desire. 

  3. Don't Forget the Most Important Ingredient: Lubricant.
    LUBE
    . Lots of lube. A note, we prefer silicone-based lubricant because it is long lasting however, it damages silicone-based dildos. In which case, we recommend a water-based! (We also suggest using a toy cleaner to keep things extra safe!)

  4. Spend Time on Foreplay
    Your bodies need ample time to get aroused, ready, and present in the moment. This is a critical part to enhance pleasure and prevent pain - the more foreplay, the better.

  5. Check In With Your Partner
    Make sure there is ample communication throughout! Finding a comfortable pace, depth, and rhythm will only enhance your experience. If anal stimulation is new to you, try some anal training exercises first. The goal is to train your anus to relax during receiving so that the experience is enjoyable. And once again, be sure to have lots of lube handy, seriously!

  6. Try Positions That Increase Comfort & Control
    Doggy style is a classic position that’s pleasurable to engage in but don’t be afraid to try new ones too! Laying on your stomach is a great beginner pose. Move around and enjoy the sensations of your newfound sexual flavor.
