Face-Down: The Best Pegging Position

The Setup:

The receiving partner lies completely flat on their stomach. The giving partner stands or kneels behind them, with both feet on the ground and hips free to thrust.

Why it's the best for pegging:

• Giver stability: The receiving partner is on a stable surface that doesn't move. The giver has full hip and thrusting freedom with both feet planted.
• Receiver comfort: The receiving partner can fully relax with no need to hold anything. Your front is supported, your body is stable.
• Perfect angle: The natural body position creates the ideal angle for penetration without adjustment.
• Giver control: The giver can control depth, pace, and angle completely. Both hands are free for touch, holding, or balance.
• Sustainability: Both partners can sustain this position for extended time without fatigue. This is the position for longer sessions.
• Communication: The giver can see the receiver's back and touch their shoulders, back, and head. The receiver can speak freely.

Best For:

Everyone. This is the position to master first. Once you're comfortable face-down, other positions become optional variations rather than necessities.

Furniture:

A flat bed works fine. A positioning wedge under the hips can add comfort. The MILKER CLASSIC is engineered for this exact position and makes it even more comfortable.

Doggy Style Pegging

The Setup:

The receiving partner is on hands and knees. The giving partner kneels or stands behind them.

Pros:

• High novelty and visual appeal
• Good angle for penetration
• Active position that feels energetic
• Both partners can touch and grip
• Works well for more vigorous pegging

Cons:

• The receiver's arms and shoulders tire during longer sessions
• Requires active core engagement from the receiver to maintain position
• The giver's legs and hips can tire if not on a stable surface
• Less sustained comfort than face-down for longer sessions

Best For:

Shorter to medium sessions, more active pegging, couples who enjoy the visual and physical intensity of this position.

Furniture:

A positioning wedge under the receiver's hips elevates them and reduces strain on arms. A bed or sturdy furniture for the receiver to lean against helps with stability.

On-Side Spooning

The Setup:

Both partners lie on their sides, spooned together. The giver behind, the receiver in front.

Pros:

• Incredibly intimate and close
• Very comfortable for both partners, no strain on arms or legs
• Easy on the giver's body, less thrusting work than other positions
• Great for slow, sensual sessions
• Good for extended time together
• Full-body contact and ability to hold each other

Cons:

• Limited giver leverage and thrusting control
• Depth is more restricted
• Less intense sensation than positions with more active thrusting
• Harder for the giver to maintain consistent pace

Best For:

Morning or evening intimate sessions, very experienced couples, longer slow sessions where the focus is on closeness rather than active thrusting.

Tips:

The giver can use slow, grinding movements rather than thrusting. This works well for prostate stimulation and creates more subtle sensations.

Reverse Cowgirl-Style

The Setup:

The giver sits on a bed, chair, or furniture with legs extended or bent. The receiver sits on the giver's lap, facing away, and controls depth and movement.

Pros:

• The receiver has complete control over pace and depth
• The receiver can move as much or as little as they want
• Good for prostate or g-spot stimulation depending on angle
• The giver can use hands to touch the receiver's back and sides
• Works well for couples where the receiver enjoys control

Cons:

• Requires significant leg and core strength from the receiver
• Can be tiring for extended sessions
• The giver has limited thrusting ability
• Harder to maintain if there's a significant height difference
• Coordination and rhythm can be tricky for beginners

Best For:

Receivers who like control, athletic couples, medium-length sessions, couples interested in receiver-controlled rhythm.

Furniture:

A sturdy chair or the edge of a bed works well. Furniture with arm rests is helpful for the receiver's hands.

Missionary-Style Pegging

The Setup:

The receiver lies on their back. The giver is on top, facing the receiver. For anal play, the receiver typically needs their hips elevated (using a pillow or wedge).

Pros:

• Face-to-face intimacy and eye contact
• Both partners can hold and kiss each other
• The giver can control pace
• Romantic and close
• Both partners can reach each other's bodies

Cons:

• Positioning is less natural for anal penetration, requires conscious hip positioning
• The giver's weight is on top, which can be tiring
• Requires a pillow or wedge under the receiver's hips to create the right angle
• Limited giver thrusting range compared to positions where the giver is above

Best For:

Couples who prioritize face-to-face connection, romantic sessions, receivers who are comfortable with the giver's weight.

Furniture:

A positioning wedge under the receiver's hips is nearly essential for this position. It elevates the hips and creates the right angle.

Standing Positions

The Setup:

The receiver bends over a piece of furniture (chair, bed, desk edge), and the giver stands behind them. The giver can be kneeling slightly or standing.

Pros:

• Great angle naturally due to the bend-over position
• Works well for more vigorous pegging
• Exciting novelty and variety
• Easy access and good giver positioning
• Works in spaces without a bed

Cons:

• Arm fatigue for the receiver if holding themselves
• Balance and stability can be tricky
• The giver's legs can tire
• Height mismatches can create awkward angles
• Requires sturdy furniture the receiver can lean on

Best For:

Shorter sessions, more vigorous pegging, couples of similar height, people who enjoy variety and novelty.

Furniture:

A sturdy bed, chair, or desk that won't move is essential. Some people use the side of a bed with one knee on the ground for stability.

Furniture Considerations for Pegging Positions

Furniture designed for pegging improves comfort and sustainability significantly. Here's how it affects different positions:

Wedge Pillows:

Work well for doggy style, missionary-style, and kneeling positions. They elevate the receiver's hips and improve angle. Cost: $40-80.

Milking Tables (MILKER CLASSIC):

Purpose-built for face-down pegging. The table's design, the face hole, the arm rests, and the open access below all combine to make face-down pegging the most comfortable and sustainable position possible. Both partners can sustain longer sessions without fatigue. Cost: $300-500*.
