Rim jobs, anal fingering and other butt play have been hogging the spotlight, so let’s push them to the side for a hot second to discuss another gripping sexual activity: pegging. Ladies, this one’s for you.
Pegging is when a woman wears a strap-on dildo and penetrates her partner (female or male) anally, that is basically all it is. The term was coined 15 years ago by sex columnist Dan Savage. Although anyone can wear a strap on, the term pegging ‘officially’ refers to a penis-bearing person being penetrated by a vagina-bearing person, but let’s not get hung up on the fine print here, okay? Pegging is enjoyed by lesbian, trans and gender-queer couples, too. Breaking taboos can be fun, and sexy. That being said, there are differences to what each of the body differences feels when doing the dirty.
For men, it’s all about the prostate, which is a small gland that helps make semen. Located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum, it wraps around the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body. When a dildo is inserted into a man’s anus, it can reach and massage this little erogenous gland (it’s actually called the male G-spot) resulting in an eruption of, well, you can guess what happens next.
The dildo experience is a pleasurable one for many vagina havers, that is no secret. When it comes to sticking out away from the body, instead of towards as ‘per normal’, one may think this does nothing at all, however, the dildo does have a base, which will inevitably be rubbing against those sensitive bits. Another note of course is that, like with many sexual acts, your mind plays a huge role in the ability to reach a climax too. Seeing pleasure means having it too, unless you’re a selfish person, then this article probably wouldn’t apply to you anyway.
First of all, seeing as we’re telling stigmas to stick it where the sun don’t shine, let’s break one particular taboo. Does enjoying anal penetration mean a straight guy is any less so, or vice versa, a female less straight? No, is the answer. Massaging a prostate is factually pleasurable for anyone with a penis, anybody can love anal play, and it does not change your sexual orientation. Anal sex is fundamentally about pleasure, which is something to keep in mind.
Understandably though, pegging may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s okay, but this is just to highlight that the act of trying things out with your partner(s) can be incredibly freeing and also confidence boosting. In this particular case (although true for any other case), communication is most definitely key to a good time. Because the one wearing the dildo strap won’t be feeling what their partner will be, it’s up to them to listen to what their partner wants in terms of pace or practice. A clear dialogue between pegger and peggee is paramount.
The tissue in the anus and rectum are much more fragile than genital tissue, they can be easily damaged, so I’d recommend a large size of trust, and possibly a smaller size of dildo to start off with. This kind of sexual act is slightly less common, but it will undoubtedly create a stronger bond between you and whoever you try it with. Now, you can’t simply stuff a pole into a hole and expect it to feel good without any warming up first, just like you wouldn’t want anything stuffed up an unexpecting vagina, am I right? Right, so start off slow, use a finger or… possibly a butt plug? To acclimate your partner to the sensations first and help their muscles relax in that area. Lube will also be your best friend.
That’s all there is to it really, keep it clean, keep the toys sanitised, talk about it, and advisably you should empty the bowels before hand—just sayin’. Good luck lovers!
How do you like your eggs? Because some like them implanted up their vaginas. Welcome to the gelatinous little world of ovaphilia, a sexual fetish involving the simulated laying of an egg by a human female. Variants of this fetish include the use of disproportionate or festively painted eggs and the female role-playing a furry or an alien. The latter is what we are here to sit on.
The alien egg impregnation fetish has a dedicated subreddit and porn genre to its credit. In this variant, ovaphiles—often clubbed with xenophiles (who are sexually attracted to extraterrestrials)—swear by the ‘ultimate alien fantasy dildo’: the Ovipositor. Patented by Primal Hardwere, the dildo shoots gelatin eggs straight into the body orifice of your choice where they then dissolve naturally. Available in a plethora of colours and textures, these fantasy sticks feature literal tongue-twister names like ‘Bork’, ‘Blip’, ‘G’lorp’ and ‘Splorch’.
“The idea is to replicate the act of being impregnated with eggs. Usually from an alien or insect,” explained LoneWolf, the anonymous owner of Primal Hardwere, in an interview with Vice. “The toys are simply phallic-shaped hollow tubes that can be used to insert gelatin eggs into oneself. There is a funnel-shaped hole in the bottom to receive the eggs, which are inserted one by one, forcing them up the tube and out the top.”
LoneWolf started his business by creating one-off custom commissions “for people who couldn’t find what they were looking for elsewhere.” “Ovipositors were requested several times, and when I posted YouTube videos demonstrating them, the response was impressive. Tons of people wanted them—and while this is not a fetish of my own, I saw the potential for a unique product line,” he added. Close to 3.5 million views on his first Ovipositor demo video, the demand for the particular fetish is evident.
When you purchase an Ovipositor, however, you’re expected to make your own extraterrestrial eggs. Before you can get jiggy with it, you have to spend a fair amount of time dissolving gelatine, pouring it into moulds that come along with the kit and then leaving them out to set for hours. “You are trying to take something the size of a chicken egg and pass it through the silicone tube. You have to get the formulation right so it will flex, but not be too soft,” the creator explained.

Reflecting on the trial and error process behind making the Ovipositor, LoneWolf admitted trying his hand at silicon eggs but failing terribly. “They stuck inside the dildo. We tried things like building the inside, putting channels in so it wouldn’t stick. That didn’t seem to work, and in the end it turned out that gelatine was safer anyway. We ended on that because if the gelatine gets stuck inside you, it dissolves.”
This hard-boiled fact hence begs the question: how safe is it to put gelatin eggs up your vagina? LoneWolf summed up the dangers related to the fetish as “everything in moderation.” “I can say that I have used them many times without hurting myself, but frankly it is up to the person using it to know their own limits. For instance, if you are allergic to gelatin. If made properly, the eggs are firm but rubbery, similar to the consistency of gummy bears. They dissolve with body heat rather quickly,” he clarified.
So what does it feel like to actually use one? Violet Fenn, author of Sex and Sexuality in Victorian Britain, admits to having treaded down the coveted Ovipositor lane herself. In a column for Metro, she describes her experience—or rather eggs-perience—as somewhere between awkward and stimulating. “Doing the deed itself is a bit awkward. Squeezing a giant alien dildo with slippery lube-hands was never going to be the neatest of operations,” she explained.
“You insert Brogoth (a popular variety of Ovipositor) in the same way as any other dildo, then squeeze him like a sexy alien icing bag until the eggs slide through. They pop out in a pleasantly determined fashion that appealed to the tactile side of me.” In terms of the gelatine eggs, she swears that they dissolved very quickly. “There’s no risk of them getting stuck. Although you do feel rather like you’re giving birth to slimy boiled eggs, which is a strange sensation by anyone’s standards.”
Hardcore fans of the Ovipositor say that the sensation of “mushy extraterrestrial ovum slopping back out of them” is a real treat. Fenn, however, warns not to try alien play just before leaving the house. “You could have vaginal muscles like industrial clamps and this stuff would still ooze out,” she added. “My advice would be to lie around thinking romantic alien thoughts until most of it has dissolved. Plain gelatine is completely harmless and won’t cause any damage to either your insides or your bedsheets.”
With that being said, the best case to use the Ovipositor is either by yourself, with a partner or a group of like-minded individuals for a new kind of egg-hunt…now that Easter is around the corner.
