It does not matter how you identify: if you have a prostate, then being on the receiving end of anal penetration can feel really good. That walnut-sized gland located underneath the bladder and in front of the rectum is packed with nerve endings, and when properly stimulated, it can even lead to full-body orgasms. There are many ways to stimulate the prostate, but one of the most fun ways is pegging, a sexual practice in which a person penetrates her partner’s anus with a strap-on dildo.
The term “pegging” was popularized by sex columnist Dan Savage, who held a contest to name the sex act in 2001. While the term initially referred to women pegging men, it has since expanded to be more inclusive of all genders. Anyone can put on a strap-on dildo and peg anyone, as long as all parties are into it.
Pegging equipment is plentiful in today’s sex toy market. There are dildos that attach to a harness, as well as hands-free, harness-less dildos that fit in a person’s vagina, explains Taylor Sparks, erotic educator and founder of the sex toy retailer Organic Loven.
FYI, if you have a penis, you can peg people, too. “Penis owners can use strap-on devices like the SpareParts Deuce Male Harness that comes with two holes: one for the dildo and one for their penis, ”Sparks says. “This is useful if the partner suffers from erectile dysfunction, as he can use the strap on to penetrate his partner — and if he does get an erection, can quickly change to using his penis. It can also be used for double penetration. ”
Which pegging toys are right for you? Here are some that we highly recommend, based on experience.

Sharevibe is a vibrating double dildo designed for hands-free pegging. One end goes into the vagina, and it can stay in there snugly while the vulva-owner penetrates the receiving partner. It’s a great way for both partners to experience the joys of internal stimulation!

Pegging Newbie Bundle
The Pegging Newbie Kit is a great choice for beginners. It comes with a novice butt plug, which you can use to warm up if you’ve never been penetrated. Once you’re used to the feeling of having something inside you, you can transition to using the rest of the pegging equipment.

Discover Water-Based Anal Lubricant
Do not forget the lube! Lube makes all kinds of sex wetter and better, but it’s especially important for butt stuff, since the anus does not self-lubricate like the vagina does. We typically recommend silicone-based lube for anal sex, since it’s thick and long-lasting, but silicone-based lube can damage silicone-based sex toys — ie, the pegging equipment on this list. That’s why we recommend this water-based anal lubricant for your next pegging adventure. Remember to reapply liberally!
