Get Pegged: The Ins and Outs of Pegging

Look, we get it. Up until now, your back door has only had an exit sign. But believe it or not, an anal orgasm can be even more intense and pleasurable than a regular one. Why is that? Well, we have all heard about a woman’s G-Spot. Less of us have found it. Well, a man’s G-Spot can be reached via anal stimulation through a small, walnut-sized gland called the prostate. The P-Spot, if you will. Even if you don’t hit your prostate, your body has more nerve endings down there than you think, so it is worth the test drive.

Ok, Tim Allen fans, it’s Tool Time. The good news is the starter pack for pegging is simpler and much cheaper than that $900 power drill you’ve been eyeing since Black Friday. After you and your partner are both on board to try pegging, here is what you’ll need.

The Strap-On: Sounds a bit like a supervillain, but a strap-on is simply a dildo and a harness combo. They can be bought together, or you can pick out each part separately. We recommend choosing your own pieces. It’s like customizing and detailing your own dream car. The “driver” (your wife, girlfriend, etc.) gets to pick a harness that is comfortable for them, while you, the “passenger,” pick a size you’re cool with.

Lube, Lube, and More Lube: The WD-40 of the situation. Water-based lube, like Popstar Play, is the best option to preserve your bits and bolts, as well as your new toy.

Now that your pegging tool belt is situated, let's get started. It is best to treat pegging like you’re driving stick again for the first time: take it slow, steady, and have patience. Foreplay is a must (not that we need to sell you on that). Start with some kissing, touching, and, of course, oral. Then, start with a little batting practice by having your partner use a well-lubed finger. When it’s game time, have your partner apply lube generously (seriously, be generous) to the dildo and start slow.

Missionary, while vanilla, is the best bet for beginners. It allows easy access, and you can both laugh nervously while holding eye contact. Remember, you’re a team here. Keep the communication going and the lube flowing, and you’ll be a pegging all-star player in no time.

Congratulations, you did it! Now what? Talk about it. Every team debriefs after a big game. Check-in with your partner to see what you liked, what you didn’t like, and what you’d like to change for next time. For some guys, being on the receiving end of things can stir up some unexpected emotions. Lean into the moment. Be ready for full-on self-care mode. Have a drink at the ready on the nightstand, and throw on reruns of The Office for some post-game cool down.
