Pegging - when a female partner uses a strap-on to penetrate a male partner anally - isn't just adventurous; it’s downright fun. (However, anyone of any gender can participate in pegging.) Pegging opens up (pun intended) a whole new world of sensation, connection, and brag-worthy bedroom experiences. Not only is it a playful way to flip the script (femdom anyone?), but many men describe anal and prostate orgasms as the ultimate full-body orgasmic experience. So strap in and discover some of the best sex positions for pegging and turn this adventure into your new favorite way to play.

1. The classic missionary 

You can't go wrong with the tried and tested missionary position for pegging. Missionary position offers a combination of comfort, intimacy, and easy access for the partner wearing the strap-on.  

  • Start with the receptive partner lying on their back, preferably on a comfortable surface like a bed or padded floor. They can place a pillow under their hips for added elevation. 
  • The wearer should kneel between the receiving partner's legs and gently position themselves for penetration, using generous amounts of lubricant.
  • Once the receiving partner is penetrated, the partners can maintain eye contact, open communication, and experiment with the angle, depth, and pace as desired.  

Missionary position allows the receptive partner to relax, making it an excellent choice for pegging beginners. Plus, the eye contact and gentle rhythm help create a more intimate and connected experience. 

2. Doggy style 

Doggy style is another classic sex position that translates well to pegging. This position shifts the dynamics by offering the wearer more control and allows for deeper penetration. 

  • The receptive partner should position themselves on their hands and knees, with their back slightly arched to facilitate smoother penetration. 
  • The wearer can kneel behind, aligning themselves with their partner's hips and ensuring the strap-on is well-lubricated. 
  • Once the receiving partner is penetrated, the partners can maintain a steady rhythm, with opportunities for the wearer to pull the receptive partner closer by their hips or shoulders. 

Doggy style provides a thrill for couples interested in exploring power dynamics, and it stimulates different areas compared to missionary, opening up a world of new sensations. 

3. Cowgirl/cowboy 

The cowgirl or cowboy position, depending on the gender of the receptive partner, adds a unique twist to pegging by giving the receiving partner more control. 

  • The wearer should lie on their back, with the strap-on pointing upward. 
  • The receptive partner straddles the wearer, gently lowering themselves onto the strap-on while using lubricant generously. 
  • Once penetration occurs, the receptive partner can control the pace, depth, and angle of penetration by rolling their hips, leaning forward or backward, or bouncing up and down. 

This position provides mutual pleasure, as the receptive partner has control over their experience, while the wearer can enjoy the view and explore their partner's body with their hands.  

4. The spoon

The spoon position is perfect for couples who want a more tender, intimate pegging experience. This position allows for continuous physical contact and creates a warm, comforting atmosphere. 

  • Both partners lie on their side, with the receptive partner positioned in front of the wearer. 
  • The receiving partner should bend their knees slightly, allowing the wearer to snuggle up and slip the strap-on inside, using ample lubricant. 
  • In this position, the wearer can hold their partner close, wrapping their arms around their waist and moving slowly or rhythmically as desired.  

The spoon is especially suited for those new to pegging, as it provides a slow and gentle experience with ample support and affection. 

Tips for Pegging Pleasure

To ensure you and your partner have the best experience, here are some key tips for making pegging as pleasurable as possible:

  • Start Slow: Ease into this sexual act - both physically and emotionally. Take your time to communicate with your partner, adjust as needed and find what feels good for both of you.
  • Use plenty of lube: Lubrication is non-negotiable when it comes to pegging as the anus doesn't self-lubricate. Opt for a high-quality, water-based like Pjur Aqua or silicone-based lube like Uberlube to keep things smooth and comfortable.
  • Try anal training: Before diving into pegging, consider anal training and stretching with smaller sex toys to help your body adjust. Molto, the bendable prostate vibrator is a great beginner-friendly option for anal training as it's only the width of one finger, and vibrations help release the anal sphincter. 
  • Prepare for pegging: Setting the stage is key - mentally and physically. Taking time to relax, communicate openly, learning how to prepare for pegging, ensures a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Takeaway  

Trying new and exciting sex positions can help strengthen the intimacy between partners, while adding variety and excitement to their love life. With these must-try pegging positions, adventurous couples can explore the diverse world of pleasure beyond traditional gender roles and sexual activities. Remember that communication, consent, and personal comfort are vital when exploring new sexual endeavors. As always, using plenty of lubricant, choosing the right sex toys, and practicing aftercare will contribute to a satisfying and pleasurable pegging experience.
