You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers! Here are the basics, but this link will take you to more FAQs on my other website! There are also sections for newbie givers and newbie receivers.
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 are unimportant when taking my classes and perusing my Pegging information.
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.
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 (which you can learn about in my Equipment webinars). 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, safely and without judgment. 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.
My Reason: The powerful, heady experience of hearing noises my partner doesn't make any other way, and turning them into a trembling pile of speechless flesh.
This is the most common and unfortunate misconception that persists about Pegging.
The area of your body that you enjoy having stimulated has no bearing on the gender you prefer to do the stimulating.
Gay and Bisexual men do not physiologically have different kinds of asses that offer pleasure while asses of straight men don't. It is society's view of masculinity that discourages straight men from exploring anal pleasure.
Pegging is an activity involving a man and a woman (prostate owner and vagina owner). By definition this is not gay.
If you are a receiver, listen to this recording. If you feel it is appropriate for your partner, listen to it with them, pausing for any questions they may have.
If you are a giver, listen to this recording. If you feel it is appropriate for your partner, listen to it with them, pausing for any questions they may have.
These recordings have received rave reviews. I do not try and convince. I offer accurate information to dispel the myths and misconceptions around Pegging. Being clear about what you are asking for, and what you are not asking for are equally important where Pegging is concerned. These recordings will help you do that. This allows your partner to respond to your request instead of reacting to it.
