Will Pegging Your Man Cause a Loss of Respect?
First off — an apology for the click-bait title. This piece is indeed about that subject, and of course there is no definitive answer to that question that applies to every person who pegs their partner.
But here’s the apology. Using the gender binary is something I have eschewed for a while now, knowing that there are many different people who engage in pegging who identify differently than ‘man’ and ‘woman’. But my WordPress title analyzer says this title is a great one, so I went with it. And since this topic intertwines with the definition of masculinity, I’ll often be using binary terms in this article.
Now let’s get into it. The reason I decided to write this piece is because I am a moderator in a pegging subreddit and this question comes up a LOT, from both receivers and givers. The stigma is real! So, I wanted to explore the subject a little and dive in.
Over the years that I have been teaching about pegging, I have seen many reactions from potential givers that are something like this:
I don’t think I would ever be able to look at my partner the same way if I pegged them.
While the people who say this rarely explain their reasons, I can surmise them. It can fall into a few different categories.
