What is Pegging?

The original (2001) definition of pegging was very gendered: a woman putting on a strap-on and penetrating a man anally. Since then the gender binary has evolved and so has the definition.

There are parts of the queer community that have embraced the word to mean anyone putting on a strap-on and penetrating anyone in any orifice. Some people use the term interchangeably for anal sex. There are even some who dislike the word pegging and feel that the need for a word to differentiate it from other anal sex had homophobic origins.

My personal definition is anyone wearing a strap-on and penetrating a prostate owner anally.

Having said that, there are people who identify as male who do not have a prostate, people who identify as female who do have a prostate, and people who identify as non-binary who may or may not have a prostate.

I teach to prostate owners as receivers and vagina owners as givers. Gender identification and sexual orientation is unimportant when taking my classes and perusing my pegging information.

Why Would a Receiver Want to do Pegging?

Pleasure: Some receivers may be curious about the physical sensations and pleasure that can come from anal stimulation. The prostate, also known as the "P-spot," can be indirectly stimulated through pegging, offering intense pleasure, and even multiple and full-body orgasms.
Role reversal: Pegging can offer a receiver the opportunity to experience sex from the opposite side of the bed, so to speak. This can result in more understanding and compassion for their partner's usual role during PIV (penis in vagina) intercourse.
Power Dynamics: Pegging offers the receiver an opportunity to relinquish control, allowing the other partner to take on a more active or dominant role. This can be exciting for people who enjoy exploring power dynamics or breaking societal norms associated with traditional gender roles.
Intimacy and trust-building: Engaging in pegging requires a high level of trust and open communication between partners. Some receivers may be interested in trying pegging as a way to deepen their connection and intimacy with their partner.
Vulnerability: The vulnerability inherent in pegging can be a new and potentially welcome experience for receivers, who have often been discouraged by societal gender norms from expressing vulnerability.
Sexual Exploration: Pegging can be seen as a form of sexual exploration and experimentation. People who are open-minded and eager to try new things may be interested in expanding their sexual repertoire and discovering new sources of pleasure.

Why Would a Giver Want to do Pegging?

Pleasure: There are different types of pleasure available to givers. One is erotic, or orgasmic pleasure. That can be experienced with the right pegging equipment. Another is the pleasure of giving erotic pleasure to your partner. Both can be very satisfying.
Role reversal: Pegging can offer givers the opportunity to experience sex from the opposite side of the bed, so to speak. This can result in more understanding and compassion for their partner's usual role during PIV (penis in vagina) intercourse.
Power Dynamics: Pegging offers the giver an opportunity to take control and run the show, allowing their partner to be more passive and, if desired, submissive. This can be exciting for people who enjoy exploring power dynamics or breaking societal norms associated with traditional gender roles.
Intimacy and trust-building: Engaging in pegging requires a high level of trust and open communication between partners. Some givers may be interested in trying pegging as a way to deepen their connection and intimacy with their partner.
Vulnerability: Givers can offer their receivers the experience of sinking into vulnerability. This can fly in the face of societal gender norms in a delightfully intimate way. Many receivers crave this experience of totally letting go.
Sexual Exploration: Pegging can be seen as a form of sexual exploration and experimentation. People who are open-minded and eager to try new things may be interested in expanding their sexual repertoire and discovering new sources of pleasure.
