What pegging is

Pegging is one type of strap-on sex. It’s most commonly understood as a female partner wearing a strap-on and penetrating a man anally. Sounds intense? It is. But it’s also surprisingly common, increasingly popular, and a next-level way to stimulate the prostate.

Why couples love it

For him: prostate orgasms that can blow your mind. For her: a chance to be inside him for once. For both: it builds trust through vulnerability, and it’s a novel way to play with power and pleasure at the same time.

A quick PSA

Enjoying prostate play has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Everyone with a prostate can love penetration—it’s just anatomy. The real reason more couples don’t try? Old taboos, shame, and fear. Screw that.

What you’ll need

A strap-on harness (let her pick what feels good), a body-safe silicone dildo, an O-ring to hold the dildo in the harness, and lots of lube—water-based works best with silicone. Pro tip: shop together. It’s part of the fun.

Before you slide in

Talk it through; both of you need to be enthusiastically on board. Build up slowly with fingers or small toys first. Practice the angle, because your partner needs time to figure out thrusting with a strap-on. Set the mood—this isn’t rushed, so make it an event. And communicate constantly.

In the moment

A red/yellow/green system (stop, slow, go) is a fun way to ask for and give guidance. Check in with eye contact and non-verbal signals too. Use absurd amounts of lube, then add more. Go slow and pause whenever you need to. Prostate orgasms don’t ejaculate, so when you feel done, you’re done.
