Position of the Week: Pegs Over Easy

A naked illustrated couple in a pegging position. One is led on their back with knees bent and the other is knelt between them, wearing a strap-on.

Turn the tables on that man! There’s a reason why pegging is so popular; not only do you get a sexy switch in power dynamics but there’s also the magic of prostate stimulation... Don’t worry, pegging newbs, here’s everything you need to know.

How?

Get him to lie on his back with knees bent and legs raised parallel to the bed. With your strap-on buckled up comfortably and slathered with anal lube, you can kneel between his legs, letting them rest on top of your thighs.

Guide the strap-on dildo slowly into his anus – it helps if both the toy and your partner’s butt have lube on them – while maintaining eye contact. Take it slow, let him breathe deeply, and gently increase the speed or depth.

Feel powerful while you peg

Why?

It can be exhilarating and empowering to flip the script on who penetrates who. Pegging, a.k.a. anal sex with a strap-on, allows women to take control while men experience the intimacy and pleasure of being penetrated. But don’t worry, it’s not only political gesture – it's also HOT AS HELL.

Stimulating the male G-spot, i.e. the prostate, can offer more intense, full body orgasms for people with a penis. But, for a lot of men, anal play is a fairly new experience.

That’s why this face-to-face position is so good; you get to keep a close eye on his facial cues and body language, so you can slow down or adjust accordingly. It also opens the door to playful dominance, dirty talk, and teasing, as you’ll see below!

Make it even easier

If you’re new to strap-on play, you might find thrusting a bit awkward and tiring. Try a gentle rocking motion rather than energetic thrusting if that’s easier. You can also place a pillow under his lower back to improve the angle.

The receiver’s legs might stay elevated, resting comfortably in the crook of the giver's elbows, or you could place his feet flat on the bed instead. If keeping the knees wide is tough on the giver’s hips, try classic Missionary, where she’s in a kneeling plank position.

Make it even better

The first few times you try pegging, you might find the experience so much of a turn on that you don’t even need any extras! But we love combining this position with a vibrating love egg.

Slide the egg, with plenty of lube, inside her vagina before strapping on the harness. The internal vibrations will feel amazing on her G-spot as she thrusts into her man and squeezes around the egg.

Some people can orgasm from prostate stimulation alone, but you might prefer to combine it with penis play, which feels seriously intense. With a textured stroker, the receiver can stroke his penis, syncing his rhythm to her movements.

Make it even kinkier

She’s on top, so it’s the perfect time to explore her Domme energy. During foreplay, encourage submission with a cock cage, preventing him from orgasming until you say so.

You can even show him he’s yours by choosing him a collar and telling him he must address you as Mistress, Queen, or Goddess while he’s wearing it. Add a blindfold, tease him verbally, and give clear, playful commands: “Keep still,” “You like this, don’t you?” or “Take it like a good boy.”

Just be sure to chat about your boundaries and agree on a safe word before you introduce any BDSM play into your relationship.
