Before you embark on this shared anal adventure, here's how to prepare for pegging for a smooth and pleasurable experience.

Published Nov 21 2023 7 min read

Pegging, or the act of penetrating a partner anally, has become increasingly popular among couples in recent years. Not only does it offer unique physical sensations and enhanced orgasms, but it can also improve relationship dynamics and deepen your understanding of sexual receptivity. But preparing for pegging requires some careful steps and consideration. We'll explain how to prepare for pegging in this intimate guide on couples' anal pleasure. Let's confidently explore intimacy together!

Communicate effectively

Open communication is key when preparing for pegging. Take the time to talk with your partner about desires, boundaries, and expectations. Introducing the idea of anal play can be delicate for some people, so approach it with sensitivity and respect. This is especially important for pegging, as it can involve a new level of vulnerability for both partners. The most important thing is to create a non-judgmental atmosphere for open and honest communication so that you can both have a healthy and enjoyable experience.

Pick the right gear

An essential consideration for pegging preparation is choosing the right equipment.

Select the ideal harness

A good harness should be adjustable, comfortable, and fitted to the giving partner’s size. Now, there are different types of strap-ons to consider, like harnesses and strapless varieties. The choice depends on your personal preference and comfort.

You can either buy a dildo and harness separately or purchase a strap-on set that includes both. For first-time peggers who aren’t sure where to begin, a strap-on set can be helpful as everything you need is included. However, if you want more customization, buying the harness and dildo individually is the way to go. This way, the giver can choose a comfortable harness, while the receiver can select the dildo or other object they prefer.

Now, let's talk about harness styles. There are three primary styles: underwear-style, traditional strap-on-style, and a convertible style. Underwear-style harnesses resemble regular underwear and offer simplicity and ease of use without straps. On the other hand, strap-on-style harnesses have straps, and centerpieces with fasteners that hold the O-ring. These harnesses provide more adjustability for size and positions. Convertible harnesses are very similar in appearance to traditional strap-on harnesses, with the caveat that the straps can be configured to bypass the centerpiece and attach directly to the O-ring.

Pick the perfect dildo or vibrator

Choosing the right dildo or vibrator is super important for comfort and ease of experience. You'll want to consider size, shape, weight, and material. Opting for medical-grade silicone is smart, since it's body-safe and easy to clean. If you're new to pegging, starting with a smaller size might be beneficial.

A small anal vibrator like Molto is a great choice to start with for those who are intimidated by or don’t prefer larger, girthier products. Designed for prostate stimulation, Molto bends to fit the unique contours of the anal canal for powerful and targeted stimulation.

Alternatives to Molto include the bendable, gender-neutral Crescendo 2. This vibrator has six powerful and fully customizable end-to-end motors and can be bent into any number of shapes to expertly target your desired erogenous zones, including the anus and P-spot.

Use lubrication

Lubrication is essential for pegging, as the anus doesn’t produce natural lubrication like the vagina. Use a high-quality lubricant that is compatible with your chosen sex toys and your body. Apply plenty of lubricant to the dildo, vibrator, or similar object, and the anal area. Consider reapplying as needed during the experience to keep it comfortable and frictionless. We don't recommend using numbing lubes because they can hide any potential pain that might indicate serious harm. Avoid using silicone-based lubes with silicone sex toys because they can damage the material. We highly recommend the Pjur Aqua Water-Based Lubricant for its fantastic quality and performance.

Engage in foreplay

Foreplay is super crucial for a satisfying pegging experience. Start with some familiar and intimate activities like kissing, touching, and oral sex to get aroused and emotionally connected.

Massage the perineum

Before you dive into anal penetration, focus on stimulating surrounding areas such as the perineum and external anal sphincter. Massaging the perineum can indirectly stimulate the P-spot for those who have one, further elevating arousal and allowing your anus to relax enough to accommodate penetration. Rim jobs can also increase arousal while also helping your body relax for penetration.

Stimulate with fingers or small sex toys

Take it slow and gentle, starting with inserting a finger to stretch the anus or a small butt plug before going for full pegging. Incorporating anal sex toys can further prepare your body for penetration, such as the beginner-friendly, ultra-slim prostate vibrator Molto, which can be bent to expertly arouse each body's unique P-spot and anal cavity.

For a more versatile option, Crescendo 2 is an award-winning vibrator known for its bendability. You can shape it into different configurations to target various erogenous zones, making it a great option for prostate and anal stimulation to warm up for pegging.

For any anal penetration, go slow to allow the anus to adjust. Avoid going all fast and furious as this can cause injury. Always prioritize the comfort of the receiver.

How to prepare to be pegged

Preparing to be pegged doesn’t have to be a long, complicated process, but there are steps you can follow that will enhance your overall comfort, safety, and pleasure during the experience.

Plan your diet

What you eat can make a big impact on your pegging experience. Keeping a fiber-rich diet with fruits, vegetables, and staying hydrated can keep your bowel movements regular. And no one wants to be backed up before a pegging session.

Keep good hygiene

Proper hygiene is essential for any sexual activity, but it is particularly important for anal play. The anus is home to various bacteria and fecal matter, so it is important to clean the area thoroughly to avoid infection.

Begin by taking a shower or bath, paying special attention to the anal area. Use soap and warm water to clean the area thoroughly. Consider using an enema to flush out the rectum, but this is not necessary and should be done with caution. – If you decide to anally douche or use an enema, avoid doing so right before pegging to prevent any discomfort or harm to the rectal tissues.

Consider anal training

Anal training allows you to gradually get accustomed to the sensation of being stretched and full while minimizing the risk of anal tears or fissures. For anal training, you can use anal dilators, small butt plugs, or sex toys of various sizes, starting with the smallest and working your way up to larger ones. The goal is for this process to be painless and enjoyable.

Take it slow, listen to your body

To relax, try following some relaxation guides and practicing breathing exercises. Remember to give your muscles enough time to adjust. Taking it slow can help you relax and prevent any discomfort. Pegging is a new experience for many, and it is important to take things slow and listen to your body. Begin with shallow penetration, and gradually increase the depth and intensity as desired. Pay attention to any discomfort or pain, and communicate with your partner about your needs and desires. Remember that pegging is a journey, and it is important to take things at your own pace.

Takeaway

Preparing for pegging requires proper communication, hygiene, and physical preparation. By taking the time to communicate with your partner, clean the area thoroughly, and prepare your body for the experience, you can ensure that the experience is safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling. Remember to listen to your body, take things at your own pace, and communicate with your partner throughout the experience. Whether you’re anal training or pegging, high-quality sex toys like Molto and Crescendo 2 can enhance the experience. These sex toys are designed to cater to different preferences and body types, so you have full control of your pegging experience.
