The Psychology of Pegging

I have had a number of thoughts about this over the years. Why is it that some straight men do enjoy pegging and some don't? It's got to be more than just pride! And what reproductive purpose is there for a man to be able to orgasm in his ass anyway? I know it doesn't make you gay but what I have noticed that from posts I see online, is that a lot of the men who enjoy it are also bi. I know I'm not gay, but are men who enjoy pegging more likely to be gay? For me I think a lot of the arousal comes from wondering "what in the name of God must she be thinking?" and knowing that she will now view men differently after this. Call me silly but if I were to get pegged I would feel like I'm letting my gender down... like I'm being a traitor to my team. I don't mean to offend; just my opinion.

From what I see online about pegging I often just get the impression that these guys just like things up their ass regardless of where who it's coming from. For me, who it's coming from would be very important. It's not just about the physical feeling. And testimony to that is the fact that I never actually bother playing with my ass in spite of how much pegging I watch. Just because I find a girl attractive doesn't even mean I'd be inclined to desire being pegged by her. I don't know if other men feel the same, but for me it tends to be girls that are older, a bit bigger in size (not fatter), and often more authoritative... Gillian Anderson for example. Does this make sense to other guys? Or would the thought of an 18 year girl pegging you turn you on as much as a 35 year old woman?

Regarding myself, I never feel like doing something submissive with a woman hen I'm feeling super confident. And if I were to meet a girl out some night and bring her home I would want to be the person taking charge sexually. Pegging wouldn't enter my mind. However if things were to later fizzle out between that girl and I, and I felt that she doesn't respect me as much, then that's when I might end up thinking of her in bed some morning after waking up horny... and imagine her dominating to me. If I feel that she now thinks less of me, it makes me more inclined to imagine her pegging me than imagining more regular sexual thoughts. Does that make sense to anyone else here?

Of men who enjoy pegging, what percentage of you would think that if a woman fucks you like that, that you can only drop in her opinion? And if not, then how come all pegging porn is based around humiliation? Is it that society yet have to get away from the stigma of it, and maybe 20 years from now I could expect pegging porn to not involve humiliation? I personally doubt it! I think that no matter what social conditioning a woman has had, or how open minded she is, I do not think there's any way you can be her hero after her witnessing that. Now it might be possible for her to still consider you a pretty cool guy, but not much more than that. So I do wonder are there men out there who are too proud to do this with their wives who seek out hookers for it?

And is there a chance that if a man likes pegging that it'll make it harder for him to get enough arousal to enjoy regular sex? Like Chris Rock once said "women can't go back in lifestyle, and men can't go back sexually". It is after all - unfortunately - a stronger orgasm, leaving alone the extra arousal from the fact you're doing something that's just wrong! Yet in many ways it seems like the most natural thing to desire done to you by a woman. Since I began looking at porn I managed to resist checking out pegging for 9 years. Eventually after a really stressful week I just felt I needed something. I often watch regular porn and often feel like I'd never need to go there again, but I find that 3 weeks is about as long as I can go without watching a quality pegging vid.

Another thought I've had which might seem random, is can you tell if a man is likely to like it up the bum based on the way he is sitting? You know the way sometimes you see people sitting in such a way that their feet would be under the chair with toes pointed downwards and soles of shoes at 90 degrees to the floor. It's kind of an unmanly way to sit, and I sometimes I get the impression that if someone sits like this, that it could mean that they might like it in the ass! I like to sit this way sometimes when I know no one is watching!

All things considered, I do wish I never knew what pegging was as there is a certain amount of shame in it for me, and I think it might affect my confidence with women. If you are going to give any insight on all this, perhaps I would find it helpful if you would reveal whether you're straight or bi. Thanks for reading.

I agree and disagree and also offended by your post.

You lump it all together like everyone fits into one box. People are complex. I’m not gay or bi. I’m in my late 40s physically fit with a collage of militaristic tattoos.

My wife is a nurse and she was covering vacation time. She was working in urology and the nurses were talking about prostate exams and some leak fluid dur8ng these exams. My wife thought this interesting and told me about it and had a idea. So we looked it up and found a whole genre. Things kinda escalated from there. Then one day I must of said somethin, I’m not sure what but I remembe4 what she said. “This is just our sex”

Wrong. There can be a playful dynamic between a couple where they both enjoy variety. It involves trust and respect.

Why would you need to resist?

Now that’s just weird.

No. Porn tends to cater to extreme displays. Not all pegging videos include humiliation, though.

All things considered, I do wish I never knew what pegging was as there is a certain amount of shame in it for me, and I think it might affect my confidence with women.
For what it’s worth, I’m straight, married, have two kids, and have zero desire to be with another man. My wife and I have a playful dynamic and we encourage trying new things together. She’s used a g-spot (prostate) vibrator on me countless times and it’s always fun. I’ve never been pegged, but it sounds fun too. She wouldn’t think any less of me, just like I don’t think any less of her for some of the things she has requested.

Straight men and gay men have identical anatomy. Both straight and gay men have the same sets of nerve endings. Straight men don’t have exclusive rights to enjoy blowjobs, and gay men don’t have exclusive rights to enjoy anal stimulation. In my case, I enjoy having a female do me.

I agree with the previous two commenters. Try to imagine two people in a healthy relationship who like to explore and have fun together.
 
Where do I even beging with this?? It has toxic masculinity written all over.

I think you need to separate people's gender from their sexuality and their sexual preference.

As the man above me said, anal sex is not exclusive to gay men. In fact, there are a lot of gay men who do not like anal sex (hence tops & bottoms).

The patriarchy has fooled you into believing that men should do and act a certain way yet here you are getting hard to pegging videos and then feeling guilty about it after?

I also think you are homophobic and that is why you say some of the things you say.

As a woman who is pretty curious about pegging (this is not an invitation for anybody to DM me) I do not believe that pegging a man will make me think less of him. To the contrary, a man that is open to exploring and secure in his sexuality is hot AF. I wouldn't peg a guy otherwise. And being into pegging doesn't mean a man is bisexual but if he is so what?

Like I wouldn't want to peg a man that feels so much shame about what he likes. Or what he is curious about.

Basically there is therapy for that and I highly recommend it.

Also, the way people dress or sit has nothing to do about what they like in the bedroom.

Also orgasms and sexual pleasure aren't there for reproductive purposes. Our bodies are meant to be explored and enjoyed.

Dude while you're worried you're letting your gender down (lol) other het men are enjoying all sorts of anal play. That they don't open up about it is another story
 
I Enjoy being Pegged.
She Enjoys doing the Pegging.
She enjoys being tied to the bed why i do pretty much as i please.
I enjoy doing this
We swop, we play. we both go Dom and Sub.

Only have respect for each other and . . . . . .if it feels good we will enjoy it without judgement
 
I think the other respondents have said it. It's your opinion and your theories. I'm old and I'm a writer. Do yourself a favor. Copy the link to this thread into your calendar for one year in the future. I suggest that when you reread your essay on pegging, you'll see it differently.
 
I think OP is having a sexual crisis. They are having problems reconciling their desires with their perceived societal norms. It’s called a private life for a reason.
Thanks for your response. I don't think I'm having a sexual crisis as I've felt this way about pegging since I knew what it was 12 years ago... only difference is there's less guilt for me now. But I do feel that if people were to know this about me, that I could no longer act in certain ways. So you can't really say that I'm wrong to be embarrassed about that.

I don't know if me saying that straight men either are turned on, or aren't turned off by pegging, means that I'm 'lumping' it all together.

There are certain men who you could not picture engaging in pegging... like Mark Wahlberg lets say. And there are other men who you could picture possibly engaging in pegging... like Russell Brand perhaps! I don't buy into it being the male patriarchy that's fooled me; as Diosax puts it. I think it's instinctive. Don't tell me that Conor McGregor could possibly be getting pounded by his girlfriend as we speak.

As an aside, I don't think that a man could leak during a prostate exam without having sexual thoughts.

Thanks for putting your sex life in context for me.

Regarding porn catering to the extreme, I think most straight doesn't involve choking; but yet most pegging does involve humiliation. So is that porn catering to the extreme, or is it just porn reflecting what the viewer wants? I don't think I really agree with you there.

I think you are just sort of reinforcing some of the points you are trying to refute.

It is natural to not want to be exposed to the negative judgment of others. But there is no reason to feel guilty at all about the desire to be pegged. If you want to keep it discrete that makes sense but if you are letting other people's assumed attitudes make you feel guilty then societies attitudes - which are heavily driven by the patriarchy - are affecting you.

I can't see Mark Wahlberg being pegged either but that is because I associate him with the racist acts (he was convicted for a racial motivated assault) and thinly veiled homophobia that defines toxic masculinity. His behaviour doesn't make him more masculine than Russell Brand, it makes him more toxic. For all you know Connor McGregor does get pounded by his girlfriend, but even if he doesn't what does that say? The guy is an obnoxious jarhead with an anger management problem who frequently behaves like a child. Masculinity is not defined solely by the ability to fight. One of my closest friends is a big powerful black man who happens to be a homosexual bottom - he doesn't act the least bit effeminate and I guarantee that there are very few people who would make homophobic statements to his face.

The fact that you infer so much from the outward characteristics of various high profile men speaks volumes. You don't even seem to see the bias and bigotry that is sub-consciously permeating your comments.
 
The way I see it there are lots of people of both genders who will judge members of the opposite sex for not conforming to societal expectations. That is because of their own small minds. Avoid those people or at least don't let them convince you that they represent a universal opinion. There are plenty of people who aren't that way. There are plenty of women completely capable of exploring a man's sexuality without seeing him as lesser if he doesn't conform to stereotypes. The idea that all men must conform to some stereotype of masculinity in order to be viewed as strong is something that tends to be fostered in closed environments where independent thought is discouraged. Venture outside that environment and you will see that many of the things that you regard as truisms are just strongly held a opinions of a narrow insular group.
 
it is unlikely that you don’t feel pleasure by receiving a BJ. The same applies to being rimmed.

If you enjoy being rimmed you most likely will enjoy being fingered, and receive a prostate massage.

In all those practices, society suggests that you must be homosexual, because you enjoy your exit too.

Some women may lose respect of your masculinity. Others will consider an honor to trust them your vulnerability, because is exactly that what you’re offering, being vulnerable, being submissive during the practice , you’re exposing your ass making you vulnerable to the actions of someone else, which requires trust, the same trust that a woman must feel when she’s penetrated (specially the first time).

Letting you be vulnerable makes you gay or effeminate? I don’t think so. Embracing to have pleasure while being vulnerable is a signal of trust, not of inferiority (as some may consider by bottoming).

So if being fingered or massaged doesn’t make you “less of a man”, why being pegged by a woman would? Consider the dildo a bigger finger, you’re being fingered, and your prostate stimulated by something bigger.

Would it make you heterosexual if you only penetrate? You anally penetrate a woman’s ass and you’re hetero but you penetrate a man’s ass and you’re gay?

*********

In the case that you want to go one step further, consider that you’re blindfolded, and being pegged and your gf tells you that she will now use a new toy, and you’re now being penetrated by a flesh dildo, is there any difference? In your mind is still your gf who’s on TOP. Are you gay?

Is being gay to engage in sex with a man or to be attracted to the man’s figure or develop feelings, affection and love to a man?

Would it be gay to you engage in sex with an absolutely feminine TS if you think you’re being pegged (blindfolded or not)?

In my opinion, you can even enjoy to perform oral sex to a man and not be gay as long as you don’t have feelings or be capable of falling in love with a man…

**********

Would it make you straight if you’re who penetrates?
If you anally penetrate a woman you’re hetero, but if you penetrate a man you’re gay? Is there any difference between male and female rectums? Not at all.

Being pegged is a perfectly is just one more sexual practice, independent of your sex preference.

The only difference is who is TOP and who is BOTTOM. If being bottom makes you less than a man, then BOTTOMs are gay… I doubt that sex is so simple.

I don’t picture any man doing anything. Nor does my masculinity depend on who does what Or what other people think. No, I can’t say your wrong to be embarrassed about anything, and I can’t tell you anything to make you feel more comfortable with anything.

thing is I don’t care. I’m sure there’s a lot of my sex life that someone somewhere would think I’d weird but there are some people I think are weird.

I can say the sooner you come to terms with whatever your issues the better off you’ll be.
 
The psychology of it all is the best part. The mental dynamics are excruciatingly beautiful. The role reversal….the vulnerability….the trust needed…it’s all so wonderfully exciting. As the guy, you’re getting fucked…but it’s the “mind fuck” that makes it next level 🤩😍
 
The basic sex act involves inserting part A into part B. In the case of the female, receptive partner, She has 3 available orifices, only one of which is involved in reproduction, which is the biological purpose of sex, the remaining 2 orifices being recreational. Using sex toys, it's fun to reverse roles, allowing either or both partners to experience what the complementary gender usually feels, the power of being the penetrater, or the passive pleasure of being penetrated. Neither my wife or I have ever experienced orgasm while engaging in this fun activity, but the mind games can be quite enjoyable.

The funny thing with us is that I'm pretty sure my wife doesn't see it as a role reversal. When I first mentioned pegging to her (we'd be doing other butt play for years) I could tell she was uncomfortable but then she did some research and learned that just because a guy likes to be pegged, doesn't make him gay. That was (and is) her biggest fear and probably also explains why, when we watch porn together, bisexual or gay porn is strictly off-limits. Anyway, when she pegs me, she doesn't see it as a role-reversal. Just something she knows I enjoy. She really doesn't get much from it.

On the other hand, I love it and wish we would go full role-reversal at times. She's always been afraid to take the lead when it comes to sex and other things in our relationship. I've accepted that's the way she is but still wish I didn't have to take the lead all the time.

I don’t understand. What does “This is just our sex” mean?
 
It means that this is what we do. It between us and what we enjoy. That everyone doesn’t conform to the mysterious perceived norm.

It's even simpler than that...

If you and your S.O. want to dress up in werewolf masks and spend the evening whopping each other over the head with live kitty cats, who am I to say or judge? It may not be my thing and I'm sure the kitty cats don't approve, but hey, as long as no one gets hurt including the cats, knock your socks off.

Note to the Human Society and ASPCA, no kitty cats were mistreated during the writing of this post..

YMMV
 
It means that this is what we do. Its between us and what we enjoy. That everyone doesn’t conform to the mysterious perceived norm.
My transgender girlfriend says exactly the same thing about us, “This is just our sex.” She is the man and fucks me and gets sucked off and I am the woman who gets fucked and sucks her. Basically she tells me to relax, accept it and not worry about it.
