Pegging is a sexual activity that can be both extremely pleasurable and very intimate for both parties involved. Unfortunately, due to the stigma of anal sex (especially when men are on the receiving end of it), a lot of people feel too unsure and anxious to explore their desires. Male gender role stress and fears of what wanting to be pegged means for their masculinity and sexual orientation stop many men from even voicing their desires to their female partners.

In this episode of the Get Sex Smart podcast, Dr. Valeria and I discuss the ins and outs (pun intended) of pegging – what it is, how to make it pleasurable, how to overcome anxiety and concerns around pegging, how to discuss pegging with your partner, and more.
