It’s 2022; lack of communication is out and pegging is in. Whether you want to try something new or are simply just curious about what pegging is, this blog will give you a quick guide as to what you will need to get started; from a strap-on to lube.
The sex-world is filled with wonder and awe – are you ready to explore?
What is Pegging?
Simply put, pegging is a person penetrating an anus with a strapless strap on dildo. Not limited to but it is usually an act performed between heterocouples. In 2001, the term was coined by controversial sex educator, Dan Savage.
Pegging stimulates the prostate, giving a different form of pleasure to the traditional penis ejaculation. If you get it right, it's a world of pleasure! It can give a new power-dynamic, new play scenes, intense orgasms or emotional intimacy from being “filled”. Pegging can be domineering or it can be sensual - you decide!
Now you know, are you interested? Here’s a step-by-step guide to get started and hit those anal g-spots.
Start the Conversation
Who wants to try pegging? Whether you want to be on the giving or receiving side, the best place to start is by having the conversation with your partner. Think about why you want to try pegging. Do you want to give your partner some extra pleasure? Do you want to try a Dom/Sub scene? Do you simply want to try something new? Any reason is a good reason if it is in good faith to you and your partner.
Don't laugh, tease, or taunt the idea (unless that’s what your partner is into) – instead make the conversation a safe space for how you want the interaction to go down. Don’t forget to discuss boundaries – an absolute must with a new scene of play!!
Get Your Gear!
After discussing the ins and outs (no pun intended) of your new play adventure, you need to gear up! What do you need? Here is a list of essentials for first-time peggers.
Lube
This is a no-brainer. Even if you’ve been playing with butt-plugs or other anal toys, lube is an essential part of any anal play. Unlike the vagina, your anus doesn’t self-lubricate when you get turned on so you need to make it wet to make sure everything goes smoothly. Few of our Flirt favourites for anal include Fist It Anal Relaxer Lube and the Swiss Navy Premium Anal Lube.
Douche
This is totally optional but can make things less daunting. Many people’s first thought when trying anal play is the fact that it can get “messy”. Even though this isn’t an every time occurrence for anal play, it can be something that plays on the mind of the receiver. Put those thoughts at ease and douche before you play – it’s a lot easier than you think. Try the Auto Douche or the Squeeze Clean Douche.
Strap-On
With great gear, comes great pleasure. Without the strap-on there is no pegging so take a look at a few of our pegging favourites; Lux Fetish Strap-on Pegging Set or Strap-U Charmed. Both these options come with a dildo, but you can buy singular harnesses and choose your own addition!
For first-timers, the best idea is to start small. Try our Scandal Pegging Panty Set which comes attached to panties - cute!
If the vagina-owner wants a bit of extra pleasure, there are strap-ins or strapless strap-ons. These offer pleasure for both the receiver and the wearer. The Happy Rabbit Strapless Strap-On from Flirt vibrates AND stimulates the clit.
