The practice known as pegging,
which is anal penetration of a man using sex toys, has ceased to be taboo and has become a growing trend among heterosexual men, driven by its increased presence in popular culture and by a change in traditional conceptions of masculinity.
The term, coined in 2001 by sex columnist Dan Savage, has become normalized in series, movies, and even national radio programs.
According to the Feeld Raw report from the dating app Feeld, interest in
pegging has increased by 200% among heterosexual men. This surge reflects a decrease in stigma surrounding
anal pleasure and a broadening of the definitions of masculinity.
Consulted specialists agree that the change responds to a deeper cultural review. Paulita Pappel, founder of Lustery, points out that some men are questioning a rigid masculinity that forbade them from exploring their own bodies. "It's not about inverting roles, but about expanding the male erotic map and decoupling pleasure from domination," she explained.
However, social resistance persists. Communicator Alex Robles acknowledges that openly discussing anal pleasure can still generate rejection, even in environments that define themselves as progressive.
"For some people, a man enjoying being penetrated continues to be wrongly associated with a loss of masculinity," he maintained.
From sexology, Valérie Tasso warns that the stigma comes from an education that associates sexual control with male identity.
“Sexual orientation is not defined by practices, but by desire; the problem is the cultural burden that punishes any deviation from what is established,” he indicated.
Experts in sex education recommend a gradual and consensual approach. Coach Ally Iseman suggests starting with manual exploration and the use of lubricant before incorporating toys, prioritizing communication and safety. In the same vein, educator Tim Lagman underlines the importance of normalizing curiosity and consent, and questions why practices historically associated with the queer community only gain acceptance when adopted by heterosexual men.
Overall, the phenomenon of pegging demonstrates a shift in contemporary sexual dynamics, where male pleasure is redefined beyond traditional schemes and paves the way for broader conversations about consent, diversity, and sexual well-being.
