Strap Ons and Pegging: Exploring the Basics and Beyond


Let’s Talk Strap Ons & Pegging... Without the Taboo


Pegging and strap on play aren’t niche anymore; they’re empowering, erotic, and totally normal. Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in headfirst, this guide will walk you through the essentials—and open your eyes to just how versatile and exciting strap on sex can be.

Pegging typically refers to a person with a vulva using a strap on dildo to penetrate a partner with a penis—usually anally. But honestly? The only thing that matters is consent and desire. Gender doesn’t dictate pleasure, communication does.

What Is Pegging, Really?

In simple terms: pegging is anal sex using a strap on. But beneath that is a layered experience—a shift in power dynamics, a surge of sensation, a space to explore vulnerability and control.


Why do people love it?

  • Prostate pleasure: For people with prostates, pegging hits the ultimate sweet spot.
  • Role reversal: Pegging flips traditional roles, making it deeply intimate and exciting.
  • Deeper connection: It requires trust, communication, and total body awareness.


Strap On 101: What You’ll Need

  • A Harness: Start with a beginner-friendly, adjustable harness that fits snugly. Look for something padded or soft around the hips for comfort.
  • A Dildo: For pegging, start small. Choose a slim, body-safe silicone dildo—around 10–13 cm. Bonus if it’s curved for prostate stimulation.
  • Lube, Lots of It: Water-based lubricant is essential. Anal play doesn’t self-lubricate, so generous lube = smoother, safer play.
  • Communication: Always check in—before, during, and after. Consent is sexy. So is feedback.


How to Start Pegging

  • Foreplay First: Build arousal. Touch, tease, kiss. Let tension rise.
  • Warm Up: Use a finger or small anal plug first. Go slow and let your partner relax.
  • Lube Generously: Reapply as needed. More is more when it comes to anal play.
  • Begin Slowly: Insert gradually, stay attuned to your partner’s body and reactions.
  • Find the Rhythm: Start shallow. Let your hips, hands, and hearts sync up.


Top Pegging Tips for First-Timers

  • Use a mirror: Helps with positioning and seeing your partner’s body language.
  • Switch it up: Let the receiver take the lead on thrusting or depth if nervous.
  • Practice makes perfect: It’s normal to laugh, adjust, or try again. That’s intimacy.
  • Explore different positions: Doggy, side-lying, and reverse cowgirl are great starting points.

So take your time. Talk about it. Laugh through it. And when you’re ready—strap in and take control.
