Pegging 101

Pegging is about much more than a strap-on. It can be an opportunity to explore trust, communication, vulnerability, power, play, and entirely new pathways to pleasure. Whether you're curious about trying pegging for the first time or hoping to deepen an existing practice, this beginner-friendly class will help you move beyond the myths and approach the experience with curiosity, comfort, and confidence.

Together we'll cover everything you need to get started safely, from anatomy and communication to choosing equipment, positioning, lubrication, pacing, and techniques that prioritize comfort and pleasure for everyone involved. We'll also explore common misconceptions, prostate pleasure, and the ways gender expectations and performance anxiety can influence the experience.

This class welcomes couples, solo attendees, and people of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship styles. There are no explicit demonstrations or nudity—just practical education, thoughtful discussion, and a supportive space to ask questions without judgment.

All anal products and strap-ons at Awakening will be 15% off for attendees on the day of the workshop!
