WHAT DOES PEGGING MEAN?
During pegging sex, the giver takes control and spoils the receiver anally, hands-free. What it takes is a classic dildo—sometimes called a strap-on—or a double dildo, and, in most cases, a harness. But whether you’re playing with or without a harness, you’ll find that pegging is an intense and exciting experience that lifts adventurous couples up to previously unknown heights of pleasure. Sound good? It is, especially if you follow a few important pegging rules right from the start.
HOW DOES PEGGING FEEL?
The receiver enjoys the wonderful stimulation of thousands of nerve endings in the anus, the brilliant feeling of being filled, and prostate massage (if the receiver has a prostate) during pegging. But also, anal play is so much more than pure mechanics. If the pegging involves role reversal, as it does with cishet couples, then the giver can experience the FUN of taking control. For cis women, double "pegging dildos" stimulate the G-spot with every thrust.
WHAT SHOULD YOU PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN PEGGING?
To prep for pegging sex, you might try some of the tips in our anal sex guide , or anything else that makes you feel good before butt play. For some, it's an anal douche. For others, a (shared) relaxing bath helps. This tip applies to everyone: Do not skimp on (water-based!) lubricant when pegging, and start with a finger or a smaller anal-safe sex toy before you reach for the XXL dildo.
In addition, as with everything you want to integrate into your sex game: Talk openly with your partner about green lights and red lights and take your time. The giver should watch the receiver closely, feel their way carefully, and make sure that what they’re doing gives both partners pleasure.
INSPIRING PEGGING POSITIONS
Doggy style promises minimal effort and maximum FUN. The receiver positions themself on their hands and knees and is penetrated from behind. A major plus: In doggy style, you can gradually increase your thrusting intensity until you max out.
If you like it a little gentler, go for spooning, which is ideal for pegging beginners. Both partners lie on their sides, with the giver behind the receiver. The receiver can relax completely, which helps during insertion, which can be a bit tricky at first. What helps? Lots of TOYFLUID and using gloved fingers before toys.
Experienced pegging fans can increase the pleasure factor with cowboy position. In this position, the receiver rides the giver. The big perks of this position: Eye contact is possible during pegging sex and the receiver retains full control over the rhythm and intensity of the thrusts.
MUST-HAVES: PEGGING TOYS AND ACCESSORIES
Choosing the best pegging toys for you will depend on whether you want to use a harness. If you do, you'll need a harness (obviously) plus a pegging dildo. If harnesses and buckles aren't your thing, but you're still into the idea of a hands-free pegging experience, try a double dildo that can be used without a harness, like SHARE LITE.
STRAP-ON PEGGING (WITH A HARNESS)
If you’re going to use a harness, you can pick any dildo. All FUN FACTORY dildos are 100% harness-compatible thanks to their wide, flat bases. When you’re pegging with a harness and strap-on, you have the advantage of tons of options. What's more, pegging fans swear by the reliability of the dildo-harness combination, which offers even more control, especially during longer sessions.
STRAPLESS PEGGING (WITHOUT A HARNESS)
Double dildos simultaneously stimulate the giver and receiver, and for some models, like SHARE LITE, the toy is designed to work completely without a harness. It works like this: The shorter shaft is worn vaginally and held by the pelvic floor muscles. The longer end stimulates the receiver anally during pegging. This practice lets you get closer than ever without losing your freedom of movement. In fact, you can experiment with double dildos, which make spontaneous position changes easy.
The ultimate partner-in-crime when it comes to pegging without a harness is SHARE LITE, our newest double dildo. Thanks to its lightweight core and extra stable design, this anatomically shaped toy can be gripped easily by the pelvic floor muscles, giving you full control with every thrust.
