Pegging in the Time of COVID-19
We know what you are thinking. Haven’t I read enough about COVID-19? Isn’t pegging supposed to be my escape from this? Sadly… no. This situation affects everyone and everything about our lives, including our sex. It would do a disservice to our journalistic integrity to not ask the important questions during this trying time. Well, honestly, there just isn’t much else to talk about right now, all the sex shops are closed and such. We were curious about how our friends were getting on, being isolated as we have been, and we put out a survey to see how the members of our Pegging Advisory Board have been coping. (If you are looking to share your opinions too then we encourage you.) We got some more than interesting feedback, and we are just as keen on sharing their thoughts as they were.
Some of what we heard was people's honest and earnest attempt to cope with a trying time. Some people, like Sherry Rehman, were prepared for an emergency in terms of supplies but are finding the isolation taxing none the less.
The major difference has been the lack of variety in my sexual partners. I am stuck with the same ones at home. The Covid-19 lock down has brought in some really serious rethinking on my part. When I peg my male partners, I like an audience, but now it's me and the other few partners waiting in line to be pegged. I have tried using some remote devices but getting their drivers installed on my laptop was another big hassle… Staying at home for a long time can also get boring with the same partners, no matter how good they are.
- Sherry Rehman
Apparently, Sherry is very much a “spice of life” type of person. We’re glad to hear they are playing it safe and staying home. Maybe somebody could offer them a little I.T. support? The audience is there for Sherry, they just need a helping hand into the 21st century.
A less “optimistic” member of our Advisory Board going by the nom de plume ‘Submissive Slut’ had this brief comment:
Anus is tightening up.
- Submissive Slut
We can only assume that is from disuse. Keep hanging in there, pal. Remember, disuse is not disinterest and as soon as things are safe again you can get right back into the swing of things. In the meantime don’t forget to keep up your maintenance or jumping right back in will get a bit uncomfortable.
Other members of the Pegging Advisory Board have chosen to use this extra down time as an opportunity to explore and experiment with their partners. Our friend “BradsBasket” gave us a play by play of how one such opportunity played out for him:
By week 3 of being at home, with my wonderful woman, we realized we had never spent this much time alone together. One night we had a little conflict as to whose turn it was to make dinner. She said the only way to solve this was to have a competition and whoever wins makes the meal. Smiling, knowing I am a good competitor, agreed and asked what is today's competition. "Simple," she said, "who ever orgasms first gets to watch the other cook naked." This was totally surprising and exciting. Then she said, "by the way, no touching each other or touching ourselves." Being a guy I was totally confused, how is this possible? Then she handed me a remote to her vibrator and smiled as she held the remote to my prostate massager, "we can control each other's feeling, without touching." Once we hit the bed, not touching, just feeling our massagers at work changing vibration at the control with a simple remote touch, I suddenly realized this competition is like no other. Knowing I had to stay relaxed and not let the stress of losing hinder my ability to finish first. It was an amazing experience, the feeling of excitement and competition. I will admit, this was the closest time I think we have ever peaked at the same moment. Of course, my brain was saying, 'home run', 'touchdown', 'slam dunk', 'strike', claiming to have won. But, there was a dispute as to whether pre-ejaculatory fluid counted as a win? So, we had to have a play-off round...I think I look good naked while cooking. This is now a daily competition like no other.
- BradsBasket
Wow! What can we say but ‘what a lucky guy’! Thank goodness he is married to such a creative lady, too. We hope they get to spend a lot more time with each other, preferably not in quarantine though.
We also heard from ‘Ibrank’ on their recent experience with pegging:
Been wanting this for years and finally wife has did it. i loved it. she not so much. [I’m] pushing for more.
- Ibrank
Woah there, Ibrank, full stop, pump the brakes. Enthusiasm is one thing, but enthusiastic consent is the most important thing when it comes to pegging. If your wife isn’t fully on board, we suggest using all the extra free time you have right now to have a long chat. Explain to her why you like pegging and why it's important to you. Then it's your turn to listen to why she is uncomfortable, what are her apprehensions. Talk through it or don’t do it. When you’re both eager and excited is when you will really get to experience all the joy that pegging has to offer.
We wanted to finish this little survey excursion on the more positive feedback we saw. To start us off we heard from Vegas Kim:
...my boyfriend and I need to schedule things out to make sure that our needs are both met. Saturday is now our official pegging day. We find that pegging really opens up our lines of communication and what better time to have open communication than over the weekend together. We are both busy and thankfully working from home but strong sex life and strong communication keeps the relationship strong.
- Vegas Kim
That is exactly the sort of feedback we like to see. Partners sharing, communicating their needs to one another, and both being satisfied by the interaction… gives us those big warm fuzzies on the inside. We really liked that, but this final message we received, which cam anonymously, really made our day:
... not for lack of wanting, but there has been no pegging activity for us since the Coronavirus, but this questionnaire has definitely put the idea at the forefront of our minds and is just the kickstart we needed. So thank you.
- Anonymous
You are very welcome. This is exactly what we are here to do folks. Remind you of what is truly important in these days of international crisis: pegging! There will be times of pegging’a’plenty and times where you are high and dry, but you will always have each other.
