Advanced Pegging: Taking Your Experience to the Next Level

Ready to level up your pegging play? Whether you’re looking to go deeper (literally), explore prostate-targeted techniques, or cultivate new layers of trust and intimacy, this advanced pegging guide is here to help. We’ll cover everything from refining rhythm and experimenting with high-impact positions to using tools that maximize comfort, safety, and pleasure. You’ll walk away with actionable tips to deepen your connection and elevate your anal sex experience—one thrust at a time.

What Is Advanced Pegging?

If you’ve already dabbled in basic pegging and feel ready to take things further, advanced pegging is your next frontier. While pegging typically involves one partner penetrating the other with a strap-on, advanced pegging moves beyond the basics to include deeper penetration, prostate-targeting positions, role play, and enhanced power dynamics—all built on mutual trust, communication, and technique.

Definition and Key Concepts

Advanced pegging isn’t just about going harder or faster—it’s about intentional play. It focuses on choosing positions and toys that directly target the most sensitive internal zones, whether that’s prostate stimulation for those with prostates or A-spot stimulation for those with vulvas. It also invites exploration of power exchange, through role reversal or dominance and submission dynamics, adding layers of erotic tension and trust. Just as important is the precision of your gear—using well-designed harnesses, dildos, or training cones that fit your body and enhance comfort and control. If beginner anal play is about building comfort, advanced pegging is about refining your skills and deepening connection with your partner.

Why Explore Advanced Pegging?

The mental and emotional side of role reversal can unlock new fantasies and foster greater sexual freedom. For many, the experience leads to stronger orgasms—thanks to direct stimulation of the prostate or A-spot—while the vulnerability and trust involved often deepen connection between partners. As you master advanced pegging techniques, both partners can also gain a boost in confidence, expanding their sexual repertoire and creating space for more adventurous, fulfilling play.

Safety, Preparation & Hygiene Essentials

Before exploring advanced pegging techniques, it’s crucial to establish a safe, hygienic, and well-prepared foundation. Proper hygiene, prep, and communication will set the stage for more comfortable, confident, and satisfying play.

Cleaning and Prep

When you’re engaging in deeper penetration or longer sessions, proper anal hygiene becomes even more important—not just for comfort, but for safety. Before play, it’s best to douche using an isotonic, iso-osmolar solution that’s specifically formulated for anal use. This helps cleanse the rectum gently and effectively, without disrupting the natural cellular balance of the tissue. It’s also important to avoid over-cleansing or using plain water or drugstore enemas, as these can cause irritation, dryness, or even small tears—none of which make for an enjoyable experience. A little mindful prep goes a long way toward keeping both partners comfortable and confident.

Lube and Injury Prevention

A good lube is absolutely essential for advanced pegging—and not just any lube will do. Silicone-based lubricants are the go-to choice for longer, smoother sessions, as they provide superior glide and won’t dry out as quickly as water-based options. This is especially important when you’re exploring deeper penetration or experimenting with more vigorous positions. However, most pegging toys are made of silicone, so you’ll have to find alternate lube options if that’s the case. Try looking for a super slick hybrid or toy-safe lubricant instead of pure water-based (they do exist!). To protect your body and enhance sensation, it’s also wise to start small: begin with fingers, smaller toys, or slim dildos to gently warm up the anal muscles. Gradually progressing to thicker toys or strap-ons allows the body to adapt and reduces the risk of injury. The combination of the right lube, patient buildup, and attentive play will help you go deeper with comfort and confidence.

Know the Health Risks

As with any kind of anal play, being aware of the potential risks helps ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience. One of the biggest concerns during pegging is the transfer of bacteria between partners—especially when switching between anal and other forms of contact, like vaginal play. To minimize this, always clean toys thoroughly between uses, or use condoms on toys when sharing. It’s also important to listen to your body: any sharp pain, excessive dryness, or tearing sensations are signals to pause and adjust. Using proper lube, warming up gradually, and playing within your body’s comfort zone can help avoid injury. And of course, if you’re using multiple toys during a session, either wash between each one or use fresh protection to keep play as safe as it is pleasurable.

Pegging Positions to Explore

Ready to spice up your sessions? These dynamic pegging positions help maximize prostate stimulation and creative exploration.

Positions That Prioritize Connection

These setups allow for eye contact, sensual control, and slow, deep penetration—perfect for building trust and intimacy.

• Amazon position: In this dominant and intimate setup, the receiver lies on their back with their legs spread wide or resting on the giver’s shoulders. The giver straddles their partner’s thighs while kneeling and leans forward, allowing for deep penetration with eye contact and close body contact. Great for sensual control and teasing rhythms.
• Missionary with legs up: Classic and connective: the receiver lies on their back and lifts their legs (either holding them or resting them on the giver’s shoulders). This angle provides easy access to the prostate and allows for a slower, deeper pace—ideal for emotional bonding through face-to-face intimacy.

Deep Stimulation Positions

These pegging positions enhance P-spot (and A-spot) contact and enable deeper, more targeted thrusting.

• Burning Man: The receiver kneels on all fours but leans down onto their elbows or chest (hips raised, shoulders lowered). This tilt angles the pelvis to allow even deeper penetration, direct prostate stimulation, and the ability for the giver to control pace and depth from behind.
• Teaspooning: A variation of spooning where the giver and receiver lie side by side, with the giver entering from behind. A cozy, relaxed position that supports slower play and prolonged stimulation. It also allows for whispering, caressing, and easy communication during the session.
• Doggy variation with arched back: Classic doggy—receiver on all fours—with an emphasized arched lower back and slightly widened knees to increase pelvic tilt. This opens the receiver’s body for deeper angles and more consistent prostate stimulation, giving the giver control over rhythm and depth.

Supportive & Flexible Setups

Ideal for longer sessions or experimenting with new angles.

• Frog Leap: The receiver lies on their belly, with knees bent and spread wide on either side of the hips (like frog legs). This low-to-the-bed angle creates a snug fit and deeper prostate contact, while also being easy to hold for longer sessions.
• Side Straddle: Receiver lies on their side with the top leg bent at the knee and drawn up toward their chest. The giver straddles the lower thigh, entering from an angle. Great for creative angles and slower, more controlled thrusting—especially when experimenting with toy shapes or P-spot targeting.
• Couch Edge Lean: Receiver stands with hips resting against the edge of a couch or bed, upper body leaned forward over the furniture. This allows gravity to assist in opening up, creating an excellent angle for deep thrusts and easy rhythm control by the giver standing behind.

Tips for Mastering the Experience

Want to perfect your pegging game? Here are some expert-level pegging tips.

Control and Rhythm

Mastering rhythm is one of the key skills that separates advanced pegging from beginner play. It’s not just about how deep or how fast you thrust—it’s about reading your partner’s body and building an experience together.

• Sync with breath and body cues: Pay attention to your partner’s breathing patterns, moans, and body movements. If they hold their breath, tense up, or clench, slow down or pause. When their breath deepens and their body relaxes, that’s your cue to continue or intensify the rhythm. Think of it as a physical conversation—not a one-way performance.
• Embrace slow, rhythmic movements: Advanced pegging is about savoring sensation, not racing to climax. Slow, consistent thrusts allow your partner’s body to adjust, reducing the risk of discomfort or injury. A steady rhythm also helps stimulate the prostate more effectively, creating waves of pleasure that build over time.
• Pause and explore: Incorporate moments of stillness to let your partner fully feel the toy inside them. Subtle adjustments—like changing angle, depth, or tempo—can reveal new sensations. These pauses also give both partners space to reconnect through touch, breath, or eye contact, deepening intimacy throughout the session.

Use of Training Tools

Advanced pegging doesn’t start at full throttle—it’s built on smart, gradual progression. Using training tools such as cones, dilators, or beginner-friendly dildos helps condition the body for more intense play by improving flexibility, control, and overall comfort. The key is to work up with purpose: before diving into larger toys or deeper penetration, start with smaller tools to gently stretch and warm up the anal muscles. A product like our Silicone Anal Cone is perfect for this, offering progressive sizing in one tool so you can ease in at your own pace while tracking your progress. It’s also important to train consistently—but not constantly. Just like any other part of the body, your pelvic floor responds best to regular care. Incorporating stretching outside of partnered play can help maintain elasticity and reduce the risk of tearing. And beyond tolerance, prepping with training tools increases sensitivity and body awareness, making even subtle movements during pegging feel more pleasurable and connected. We recommend you push your limits gradually with a toy like our Silicone Anal Cone.

Communicating Through Play

Communication is the cornerstone of every great pegging session—especially when exploring new territory. The more comfortable you both feel expressing needs, preferences, and limits, the better (and safer) the experience.

• Check in often—without breaking the mood: You don’t have to stop the action to communicate. A whisper, a moan, a squeeze, or eye contact can say a lot. Agree on signals ahead of time, especially if you’re playing with power dynamics, so both partners can express themselves freely without breaking immersion.
• Safe words aren’t just for BDSM: Even if your session isn’t overtly kinky, a predetermined safe word or signal gives the receiver control over intensity, position, and pacing. Knowing that you can pause or stop at any time builds trust—and allows for bolder exploration.
• Aftercare is essential: Once the session ends, take time to re-ground. That might mean cuddling, offering a glass of water, or simply asking, “How was that?” Physical and emotional aftercare strengthens connection and ensures your partner feels safe and valued—even after the strap-on comes off.

How to Evolve With Toys & Accessories

Once you’ve mastered rhythm, positions, and communication, it’s time to expand your toolkit. The right toys and accessories can help you target the prostate more precisely, play with new sensations, and keep your sessions exciting and evolving.

Strap-Ons & Harnesses

Choosing the right harness can make a world of difference in advanced pegging. Stability and control are key—especially when exploring deeper penetration or more dynamic positions. Look for a harness with adjustable straps and a wide back band to keep it secure throughout the session. The ability to swap out O-rings is also a plus, as it allows you to use a variety of dildo sizes depending on your mood or your partner’s comfort level. And don’t overlook comfort—harnesses with padded or lined areas can help reduce chafing and keep you feeling good during longer sessions. A well-fitted harness offers better control, precision, and confidence for both partners.

Prostate-Specific Toys

As you continue to evolve your pegging play, introducing toys that specifically target the prostate can take your sessions to a whole new level. Curved dildos or strap-on compatible P-spot toys allow for more direct stimulation of the prostate, enhancing pleasure and the potential for stronger orgasms. Vibrating options can add even more intensity, helping to build arousal and deepen sensation. Just be sure to choose body-safe, non-porous materials—such as medical-grade silicone or glass—and check that your chosen lube is compatible with the toy. Switching up toy shapes and sensations keeps play exciting, while helping both partners learn which angles and techniques bring the most satisfaction.

Emotional Depth & Power Dynamics

Beyond technique and toys, advanced pegging offers a rich emotional and psychological playground. It invites partners to explore trust, vulnerability, dominance, and submission in ways that can deeply strengthen connection.

Building Intimacy Through Role Reversal

One of the most exciting aspects of advanced pegging is the opportunity to explore role reversal and power dynamics in a consensual, caring space. For many men, pegging offers a fresh way to experience dominance, submission, and vulnerability outside of traditional sexual roles. For the receptive partner, surrendering control can be both freeing and arousing, opening new doors to erotic exploration. For the giving partner, taking on a dominant role with a strap-on can build confidence and shift relational dynamics—often with lasting effects outside the bedroom. By embracing these role reversals together, partners can deepen intimacy, expand their erotic language, and foster greater mutual trust.

Aftercare and Reinforcing Safety

The emotional release after advanced pegging can be surprisingly intense—especially if new boundaries were explored during play. That’s where aftercare comes in, helping both partners transition from the experience and feel grounded again. Physical aftercare, such as cuddling, skin-to-skin contact, or even a soothing bath, can create warmth and closeness. Emotional aftercare is just as important—taking time to talk about what felt good, what you might explore next time, and offering verbal reassurance helps build trust and encourages deeper connection. Don’t forget hygienic aftercare, too: a good scrub (like with our Butt + Body Scrub) helps remove lingering lube or bodily fluids, while a nourishing moisturizer or soothing suppository can help care for delicate anal skin inside and out. An Epsom salt bath can also relax the body and mind post-play. Small gestures like these can have a big impact—reinforcing safety, deepening trust, and helping partners grow even closer through the shared experience. The more openly you navigate these emotional layers, the more fulfilling and enriching your play will become.

Conclusion

Advanced pegging is so much more than bigger toys or deeper thrusts—it’s about evolving together through trust, technique, and emotional connection. From thoughtful preparation and hygiene to mastering rhythm, experimenting with new positions, and exploring power dynamics, every element contributes to a more intimate, pleasurable experience.

As you continue on this journey, take your time. Build comfort gradually. Communicate openly. And most of all—enjoy every moment of play and discovery with your partner.
