Pegging: What, Why, and How?

What is pegging – Pegging is an activity where one person wears a harness and dildo, also known as a strap on, to penetrate their partner anally. Traditionally, pegging involves a man and a woman, but we use the term for any strap on anal penetration between two partners.

Why people love pegging their partner – Are you wondering why some people like pegging? It can be great fun for partners to switch roles and the power that comes with those roles. Putting on a strap on can make you feel powerful if you’ve got a vagina, and some pegging positions even up the ante!

Why some partners love getting pegged – And for the receiver? Pegging can stimulate sensitive areas of the anus and the prostate in particular. This walnut-shaped organ can be stimulated through the anus and perineum and is key for some to unlocking a powerful new type of orgasm or the ability to have multiple orgasms for men!

How To Peg Your Partner: Quick-Start Guide

The harness – Let’s say you’re interested in pegging, what do you need to get started? First, the person doing the pegging needs a comfortable harness.

The dildo – If your partner has never been anally penetrated before, they might not know what they like or may need something beginner-friendly. A smaller, smooth dildo that’s flexible is a good option. Larger, textured, and rigid dildos may be better for those who are more experienced with pegging.

P Spot dildos – If you want to stimulate the prostate specifically, a curved and contoured P Spot dildo works well. Plus, many G Spot dildos can double as prostate toys!

Pegging preparation – Before you get down to business and assume the pegging position, you might want to know what kind of prep you need to do for pegging. It’s the same as you’d do for any anal penetration and you and your partner can choose several levels of hairlessness and cleanliness to ensure your comfort.

Once you’ve decided you want to peg your partner and have your gear, including lube, you’re ready to get into position. Any of the following positions work for pegging, but you may want to stick to something more straightforward as you learn how to control your strap on, read your partner’s bodily responses to penetration, and figure out what both of you like.

1. Doggy Style Position For Pegging

Doggy style is a classic position for regular vaginal and anal sex, but it works well for anal sex no matter who’s the receiver. Pegging in doggy can be a little tricky if the partner wearing the strap on is much shorter than your partner, so you may want to try kneeling on a sex pillow to give you a little more height.

2. Amazon Position For Pegging

The Amazon sex position is more acrobatic than some, so we couldn’t blame you if you decided to try one of the easier pegging positionsfirst. However, it’s worth checking out if you’re adventurous and agile!

In the Amazon position, the giving partner lies on their back with their knees pulled toward their chest so they can penetrate their partner from below. The receiving partner sits on the back of giving partner’s thighs. You can swap positions when pegging your partner, so the giver is on the bottom, or…

kKeep the same positions so that the receiver is on the bottom.

3. Butterfly Sexual Position for Pegging

In the Butterfly position, pegging is quite a bit easier, which makes this one of the best pegging positions. Your partner lies on the bed with their legs bent at the waist and straight up while you stand on the floor at the edge of the bed. Your partner’s legs rest against your shoulders, which will lift their hips to make pegging possible.

Try using your hands or a sex pillow under your partner’s hips if you need a bit of a boost to make the position work well.

4. Turtle Sex Position for Pegging

Check out the Turtle if you want to feel extra close to your partner while pegging. To start, the receiver will kneel on the bed or floor, reaching back around their legs with their arms. The giver kneels behind them with their knees on the outside.

While doing the Turtle, the receiving partner might be more comfortable resting on a pillow beneath their head or chest.

Teaspooning can be an incredibly intimate position for pegging, just like it is for vaginal sex. Kneeling directly behind your partner provides plenty of skin-to-skin contact, and you can reach around to rub or stroke them as you penetrate them from behind.

Again, differences in height can be problematic in this pegging position. But you can try to work around it by leaning backward or getting your partner to kneel more.

Spooning is a classic lazy position that works well for morning sex or when you want to whisper and moan directly into your partner’s ear. Women are often the “little spoon,” so pegging gives them a chance to switch it up. Try massaging your partner, draping your top leg over their hips, or grasping and lifting their top leg if you’d like in this pegging position.

Tip – If you struggle with heartburn while spooning, turn on your left side instead of your right.

Most people think of the Missionary position as the default position for intercourse, but plenty of men enjoy it for receiving anal sex too. So there’s no reason you can’t try it for pegging, too!

You’ll need to make a couple of modifications, such as having your partner lift their legs and bend their knees so you can scoot closer when pegging them, but you can grab their legs for leverage.

11. Cowgirl Style for Pegging

Cowgirl is all about the receiving partner straddling the giving partner and riding them. When pegging, the receiver can get on top and lower themself onto the strap on instead. Some people even call this the Cowboy (and facing the other way, the Reverse Cowboy).

This is a good pegging position for several reasons. Being on top lets the receiver control the depth, pace, and angle they take the strap on anally. Meanwhile, the giving partner can still play with their penis/vagina.

Rear Entry is a given for pegging and strap on sex. When your partner lies on their stomach in this pegging position, their tushy is right there for the taking! You may already be familiar with this position if you’re a Reddit user, but members of the site tend to call it Prone Bone, instead.

In this position, your partner is lying face down on their stomach. You then penetrate them from behind, lying down on top of them with your legs inside theirs.

For extra intimacy, you can lie down on top of them and hold their hands in yours.

Or you can take on a more dominant role and pin them down, making them your submissive.

Super-dominant: Rear Entry is also a great bondage sex position, where the receiving partner is restrained to the bed.

You can also go in at more of an angle, similar to the Cross sex position.

14. Sitting Sex Positions for Pegging

If you’re a woman, your partner probably doesn’t spend a lot of time in your lap during sex. However, pegging is all about changing things up! So take a seat and have your partner do the same in this strap on position.

Lap Dance position – For women pegging male partners, it’s likely that his legs are longer, so it’s easier for him to rest his feet on the floor while straddling you with his back to you like in the Lap Dance position.

Back Seat Driver position – Or you can try the Back Seat Driver position if you’d prefer your legs to be on the outside. Then the receiving partner can swirl or lift their hips on your cock until you’re both satisfied.

You can easily lift and swivel your hips when pegging your partner in the Jockey sex position.

For the final pegging sex position, you’ll sit on the floor with your back against a wall and your strap on standing at attention.
