“At first, we were both nervous, but after one night of pegging, we discovered a new world of pleasure that completely shattered any taboos.” - Anna & Mark

Explore the exciting world of pegging, where fun meets intensity. Whether you’re the one strapping on or strapping in, this act brings a fresh, thrilling energy to the bedroom, blending playful teasing with deep, thrilling sensations. Forget everything you thought you knew—pegging is for any couple eager to build intimacy, communicate, and enjoy mind-blowing orgasms together.

What is pegging?

Pegging involves a woman using a strap-on dildo or strap-on vibrator to perform anal sex on her male partner. This reversal of roles isn’t just a physical thrill—it offers couples an opportunity to explore new power dynamics in the bedroom. Many enjoy pegging for the shift in control, which adds a whole new level of excitement to their sexual lives.

The evolution of pegging

While the concept of pegging may not be new, the term has only recently entered mainstream conversation. Role reversal in sex has often been taboo, but with the rise of modern sexual freedom, more couples are curious about trying it. The availability of strap-on dildo toys and similar products has made it more accessible than ever.

In 2001, “Savage Love” popularized the term pegging, describing a cis woman using a strap-on to penetrate a cis man. Today, the term covers any act of anal sex involving a strap-on dildo or strap-on vibrator.

8 steps to experience pegging: essential tips

Pegging is incredibly exciting, but like any anal sex act, preparation is key. Follow these 8 tips to ensure you and your partner are ready for an unforgettable experience.

1. Have a conversation

Discuss it and get clear consent. Communication is the first step before anything else. Whether you’re the one giving or receiving, make sure both of you are fully on board. If your partner isn't yet ready to try anal play, give them space and time to come around—no pressure!

2. Get your gear together

Once you both agree, it’s time to gather the essentials. First, get a bottle of water-based lubricant—you’ll need a generous amount! You'll also need a strap-on dildo (typically a harness with a dildo). For those just starting, a smaller size is perfect. And if you’re the one receiving, prepare with some personal hygiene—a good anal douche will help you feel fresh and ready.

3. Take it slow—no need to rush

It’s important to ease into it. If the receiving partner is new to pegging, rushing into a large dildo could lead to discomfort. As the giver, your main focus should be your partner’s comfort. Start gently with anal fingering or smaller toys like anal beads or anal plugs before progressing to full penetration with the strap-on dildo.

4. Start gently

We know you’re excited to give your partner some strap-on pleasure, but always remember to start slow. When your partner is ready, gently insert the tip of the dildo first, moving slowly with tender motions to allow them to adjust.

5. Keep the communication flowing

In the bedroom, communication is key. Talk openly with your partner during the experience. Let them know what you're about to do, check in on how they’re feeling, and make sure everything feels comfortable. Trust will grow, and your partner will relax, allowing both of you to enjoy the experience more.

6. Try different positions

The receiving partner doesn’t always need to be on all fours. Experiment with different positions to find what works best for both of you. Different angles will help you discover new pleasure spots and make the experience even more enjoyable.

7. Bring in additional toys

Spice up your pegging play by introducing other toys. Vibrators, prostate massagers, and even paddles can add extra intensity to your session.

For the giver, consider using an app-controlled strap-on vibrator for extra stimulation. The receiver can control the vibration speed and pattern, creating an intense experience for both partners.

8. Don’t forget aftercare

Aftercare is essential, especially after a first pegging experience. It’s a way to show love and care for your partner, and it helps you both reconnect emotionally after such an intimate experience.

What does pegging feel like?

“I was amazed by how powerful it was to switch roles—one moment I felt anxious, the next I was overwhelmed by pleasure I never knew existed.” - Mark shared his experience.

"Trying pegging for the first time was full of excitement and curiosity. It took some patience, and at first, it was strange to give up control. But when the strap-on dildo hit the right spot, everything changed. The pressure against my prostate created a deep, building pleasure that spread through my body. Every gentle thrust, every careful motion took me deeper into a pleasure I can only describe as explosive. If you’re considering it, take your time, embrace the experience, and get ready for an unforgettable journey together."

Choosing the right strap-on dildo or vibrator

The central piece for pegging is your strap-on dildo or vibrator. Beginners should start with something smaller for comfort. There are many shapes, sizes, and materials to choose from on Desirel. Find what works for you, and consider a vibrating option for even more excitement.

Pegging positions: a guide to starting out

1. Classic doggy style

For beginners, this is a comfortable position. The receiver gets on all fours, raising their hips slightly. The giver kneels behind and gently guides the strap-on dildo into the receiver’s anus, taking it slow.

2. Missionary twist

Lay the receiver on their back near the edge of the bed. The giver kneels, holding their partner’s thighs, while the receiver places their ankles on the giver’s shoulders, allowing for full control over depth and rhythm.

3. “Feast On Me”

If you're up for an adventurous twist, have the receiver kneel on a table, gripping the far edge, while the giver stands behind. Position the strap-on dildo and get started!

Why should you try pegging?

Pegging is more than just a new sensation—it’s a way to deepen intimacy with your partner. Exploring new activities together strengthens trust and opens up new aspects of your sexuality. Many men find anal sex and prostate stimulation incredibly satisfying.
