Pegging is no longer niche. As more couples explore anal play — and more men realize how good prostate stimulation can feel — the demand for real, practical info is growing.
And whether you're wearing the strap or receiving it, position is everything. It’s the difference between “interesting experiment” and “life-changing orgasm.” The right angle can help with comfort, control, emotional connection, and most importantly: access to the prostate.
Here’s your complete guide to the best pegging positions, from beginner-friendly to advanced, plus tips on pacing, setup, and when to switch things up.
1. Doggy Style: The Pegging Classic
Ideal for: beginners, prostate access, easier thrusting
Why it works: Doggy lets the receiver control depth and pace, especially early on. The giver can kneel or stand behind and use their hands for balance or stimulation.
How to set up:
Receiver on hands and knees (or chest and knees for a gentler angle)
Pillow under hips for better alignment
Giver enters from behind, slowly
Tips:
Use mirrors to make it more visual
Apply lube generously, especially around the opening
Start with shallow thrusts, then build rhythm gradually
2. Missionary (Legs Up): Eye Contact and Control
Ideal for: emotional intimacy, watching reactions, slow build
Why it works: The receiver lies on their back with legs raised, allowing the giver to control depth while staying face-to-face. This position offers intimate connection and good access to the prostate.
How to set up:
Receiver on their back, hips slightly elevated (use a pillow)
Legs bent or held up by partner or in a harness
Giver kneels between thighs or leans in
Tips:
Great for couples exploring pegging for the first time
Use verbal check-ins — being face-to-face makes it easier
Add mutual masturbation for stimulation on both ends
3. Spooning: Soft, Sensual, and Low-Energy
Ideal for: slow sessions, morning play, emotional connection
Why it works: Both partners lie on their sides, facing the same direction. This creates a low-impact, close-contact dynamic — perfect for those who want a slower, more sensual pace.
How to set up:
Receiver lies on their side, knees slightly bent
Giver lines up behind and enters from the back
Legs can be adjusted for easier access
Tips:
Great for those with chronic pain, anxiety, or limited mobility
Less pressure on hips and back
Can be combined with dirty talk or breathwork for deep connection
4. Cowgirl (Receiver on Top): You’re in Charge Now
Ideal for: experienced bottoms, prostate focus, rhythm control
Why it works: This position flips control — the receiver controls the angle, depth, and tempo while the giver lies down and enjoys the view.
How to set up:
Giver lies flat on their back with hips slightly raised
Receiver straddles them facing forward or backward
Use hands on thighs or chest for balance
Tips:
Riding backward gives better visual access
Use a plug beforehand to warm up
Add a cock ring or prostate vibe for layered stimulation
5. Over the Edge (Standing or Bent Over Furniture): Power Dynamics Meet Convenience
Ideal for: power play, quick access, role reversal scenes
Why it works: With the receiver bent over the edge of a bed, couch, or bench, the giver can stand or kneel behind and get a strong thrusting angle. Great for dom/sub energy or more intense sessions.
How to set up:
Receiver bends over a sturdy surface, bracing with arms
Giver aligns hips behind and uses hand or toy to guide entry
Good footwear or knee pads help with balance
Tips:
Practice slow entry first — this can be intense
Add light bondage (wrist restraints, blindfold) for roleplay
Combine with dirty talk or verbal scripting for psychological edge
Bonus: Reverse Cowgirl, Chair Pegging, and Standing Variations
For the more adventurous or flexible:
Reverse Cowgirl: Great view, prostate access, full control
Chair Pegging: Receiver straddles a seated partner — can feel intimate or dominant
Standing Entry: Requires strength and control but offers a dominant, spontaneous vibe
Safety and Communication Tips for Any Position
Lube. Then more lube. Friction is not your friend.
Warm up first. Fingers, plugs, or rimming make everything smoother.
Safe words work — even if you’re not into kink.
Use quality harnesses and toys. Silicone dildos + adjustable straps are worth the investment.
Check in often. “How’s that?” is sexy and essential.
Pegging Is Personal
There’s no “one position fits all.” What feels incredible for one couple might be awkward for another. The best pegging position is the one where both partners feel safe, connected, and turned on.
Try different setups. Communicate clearly. And remember — pegging isn’t just about reversal. It’s about discovery. Done right, it’s not just new terrain for your body — it’s new language for your relationship.
