It makes a lot of sense that some men like being pegged (aka, having a woman enter them using a strap-on dildo). Guys have a prostate—commonly known as the male G-spot—which is a walnut-sized gland 2-3 inches inside the anus. The prostate is full of nerve endings, and the right kind of stimulation can lead to powerful, full-body orgasms. Enjoying prostate stimulation has nothing to do with being straight, gay, or bisexual—it's simple human anatomy.

But why do women like pegging men? What do they get out of it? They're not experiencing any internal or clitoral stimulation, so unless they're using a toy at the same time, it's unlikely that they'll orgasm through pegging a man. Besides, how does one even get into pegging? Did they just ask their boyfriends, "You know how you like sticking it in me? Well, I think it's time I stick it in you!"

Well, we spoke with seven women who love to peg dudes to find out.

Here's who you’ll here from:

Ashley, 33

Lola, 30

Amanda, 35

Jess, 31

Allison, 38

Aja, 20

Annie, 28

What was your first pegging experience like?

Ashley: "My first pegging experience was actually with one of my sex educator colleagues, which was great because he was very clear in his requests, and offered me tips—including the importance of using lots of lube."

Lola: “It was very communicative, sweet, and slow. I was more concerned about his experience than my own. The dildo slipped out of his butt a lot without realizing it though. It was quite frustrating because we had to keep starting and stopping.”

Allison: “My first experience with pegging was also my first time [having sex] with my partner. At the time, I identified as a lesbian, and I had clocked a lot of time wearing a strap-on, but he was my first time using a strap-on with a cisgender man.”

Aja: "My first experience pegging was in a queer threesome with my oldest friend. My friend being a massive sub got dommed by both me and their girlfriend."

Why did you decide to try it?

Jess: "I really decided I had to try pegging when my husband and I started seeing another bi/bi male/female couple earlier this year. The other man was very into my husband, and we had never explored our bi male fantasies. He had never wanted a guy to fuck him before this moment. It really turned us on. We are both big proponents of trying new things from both sides of the spectrum, so where better to start than at home... bent over the couch in the living room."

Allison: "Prior boyfriends and I had discussed pegging, but we never got around to gearing up and trying it. I’m a dominant-leaning switch, and I’m attracted to receptive, switchy male partners. So pegging was always intriguing to me, even from a young age."

Aja: "I've known my friend for six years now, and we're both very sexually open and positive people, so we had been talking about me domming them for years. So it was kind of an inevitability."

Annie: "I'm a naturally dominant person and something about penetrating a guy like that just really turned me on. Also, as a queer woman I love being with men who are comfortable expressing themselves sexually in ways that may go against gender norms."

What is it that you like about pegging?

Ashley: “I love that it makes me feel powerful in a whole different way. I also appreciate the vulnerability it takes for my partners to ask me to penetrate them, especially given the cultural taboos.”

Lola: “I definitely have penis envy, so wearing a cock is exciting. I like experiencing all the aspects of sex and being the penetrator is different and fun. I also enjoy giving men a sensation that may be new to them and walking them through that experience.”

Amanda: “I love playing with the shift of dynamics and creating a new way to connect with my partner. Selfishly, I also love the feeling when I can confidently put on and stroke my own 'dick.'"

Jess: “What I like most about pegging is the intensity of the orgasm for my partner. I mean, if anyone hasn't experienced giving a prostate orgasm firsthand you are seriously missing out."

Allison: “Pegging is one of my favorite activities, hands down. I love being in a position of control, and I love delivering an intense and connected experience. I like how pegging can help some men drop into sub space and relax into powerful sensations.”

Aja: "I get a lot of satisfaction out of making someone utterly melt with pleasure and ecstasy, both from the feeling of power it provides me, and just from making someone a quivering puddle. Pegging and prostate play with the right partners can provide all of that."

What’s your advice for dudes who are interested in pegging but are too afraid to ask their female partners?

Ashley: “Take a deep breath and make a request! Use this article as a jumping off point; send it to your partner and say, 'Hey, this seems interesting, would you be willing to explore it together?'"

Lola: “Don’t stress right off the bat that they have to be the one to penetrate you. State that it’s a thing you’re into, and it’s up to them if they want to partake. Let them come around on their own curiosity!”

Jess: “A lot of men worry an interest in pegging must mean that they're bi or gay and the fear of asking comes from that place, but try not to get hung up. When I want to try something new with my husband, we both read a lot about it. So it might be an idea to try sharing this article with your female partner and asking if she'd want to give it a whirl."

Allison: “The stigma against male [anal] receptivity is real, and it sucks. I think the best thing to do is start by exploring anal together using plugs or other toys. Pegging can be an intense sensation, and I’ve seen women get too carried away by the excitement of wearing a strap-on.”

Aja: "I would say start how you would with any kink/fetish or strange bedroom request, and openly communicate your desires to your partner. This can definitely be harder in new relationships, or relationships that don't have a precedent for these kind of discussions, but it becomes normalized when you do it more."

Annie: “Watch some porn together and choose specific clips that include pegging or anal play and vibe it out. But also, just ask! Your partner should respect you for making a desire known, and you never know—they may want to try it too but have been too afraid to ask."
