Pegging is a term that many more of us have probably heard thanks to the popularity of TV shows such as Broad City and films such as Deadpool. But what is pegging? And how much do you know about this increasing normalised form of anal play?
Anal play in itself is nothing new. It’s been around since the dawn of time. Once considered dirty and taboo by many, it is now a staple of countless people’s sex lives.
Anal play has it’s indispensable favourites including:
- Anal Intercourse
- Butt Plugs
- Anal Beads
- Anal Vibrators
- Anal Dildos
- Fingering
But pegging is opening up the world of backdoor pleasure to even more of us than ever before. And once you know what it means, you’ll totally get why…
What Does Pegging Mean?
The term “pegging” was conceived by the well-known American sex columnist, Dan Savage back in the early 2000s. He used it originally to refer to the activity where a woman uses a strap on dildo to penetrate a man anally. It was initially seen as an act for heterosexual couples. Meaning the non-penis owner penetrates the person with a penis. And in turn roles are reversed.
Fast forward some 20 years, and this term is now more commonly used to refer to anal sex using a strap on. This can be between lovers of any gender or identity regardless of what they are hiding in their underwear.
Why Do People Enjoy Pegging?
Pegging provides an opportunity to show your bum some serious fun.
All of us, regardless of gender have a booty containing literally thousands of juicy nerve endings. When stimulated these nerve endings can be the gateway to orgasmic heaven. The problem with this sweet spot has always been how to reach it? Pegging Toys, such as a strap-on can be the solution.
Here’s a round up of some of the reasons thousands of us are giving pegging a go:
- Anal exploration is highly arousing and gives us a chance to experience some pretty amazing sensations
- Anal orgasms and p-spot orgasms can be all encompassing and incredibly intense experience. Entirely different to other orgasms and well worth the effort.
- Enables couples to experiment with role reversal and power play.
- The use of a strap on provides the opportunity to enjoy different girths, lengths and textures.
- By being able to penetrate your partner in new and thrilling ways, sex is kept fresh and exciting.
- Pegging may be seen as a little naughtier and more taboo. That in itself can be one hell of a turn on.

Pegging Toys and Pegging Kits
Pegging toys and pegging kits, are just another name for strap-ons. Strap on dildos and strap on kits can all be used for the act of pegging. As can double ended dildos and strapless strap ons too.
Pegging is something that both you and your partner will do together. So it makes sense to choose the pegging kit you want, together. Whatever product you go for, you are going to need a strap on and a good anal lube as a bare minimum.
When it comes to strap ons, there are a few different types to choose from. The two main options being: The standard strap-on harness and dildo set up, or a strapless strap on.
If it is your first time with anal play then you need to be realistic and choose something slimline and small. Anal muscles take time to train. They are a lot stronger than vaginal muscles, so start slowly. You can move onto bigger toys as you get more confident and comfortable.

Pegging: How To
Talk to Your Partner
We are presuming by this point you have already had the conversation with your partner. But if not, then it’s important to do so before you stride boldly into the boudoir wearing your pegging device.
Your partner may need you to explain what pegging means. Be honest about your curiosity being careful to highlight the different joys this type of play can bring. Be respectful of your partners opinions, thoughts and possible hesitations. Give them time to think about it. Don’t expect an instant decision. It can be useful to suggest trying some basic anal play first. Maybe trying some anal beads, of anal fingering and then seeing how you both feel.
Practice First
It may sound daft but bear with me. Wearing your new pegging dildo about the house will help you get comfortable with it. How it feels and how it moves. Like any other sex toy, you will get more out of your toy if you feel comfortable and confident.
Like any other strap on it’s a good idea to practice thrusting. It sounds silly because surely we all know how to thrust, after all we’ve all had sex so what’s the difference. But there is a huge difference. This strap on is not part of your body. It’s going to move differently. Practice will let you experiment with how to move your hips, how the dildos moves in the harness and how the harness feels against your body.
Warm Up
When the time comes, don’t just dive straight in. Our bodies and our booties respond best when they are turned on. Take time to get aroused.
Lube Up
Butts do not self-lubricate. Lube is not optional. So grab some high quality anal lube. Apply it to your partner and to your dildo.
Take Your Time
Going too fast is going to be at best uncomfortable and at worst painful. Neither of which is sexy. Take your time. There are no rules about how far in you need to go so talk to your partner. Questions like “How does it feel?” “Is there something you want me to try?” or “Is that deep enough?” will ensure you both get as much enjoyment as possible from this intimate experience.
Have Fun
Don’t forget to have fun. Let’s be honest, the first time you see your partner with a strap on attached to them, you may be tempted to giggle. And that’s fine!
Pegging Safely
Safe Word
Before beginning its important to agree a safe word. A word that when spoken means STOP. A good safe word is something that can’t be mistaken to mean something else. Fruits make great safe words as they cannot mean anything other than what they are.
Aftercare
Aftercare is really important. Pegging can involve submission and dominance so check in with your partner once play has finished. This helps to avoid any negative feelings post-play. Remember to reassure your partner of your love and respect for them. This will ensure only happy feelings remain after the event. Hugs and kisses will go a long way.
Conclusion and Next Steps
To peg or not peg; that is the question. There is an argument to say that you should try everything at least once. One life, live it and all that jazz. But look up what is pegging in the urban dictionary and you will see “when a woman fucks a guy with a strap on.” Not enticing for many of us I fear.
