Pegilasyon

Pegilasyon refers to a sexual practice in which one partner penetrates another anally using a strap-on dildo. Although commonly described as a scenario in which a woman penetrates a man, the practice can involve people of any gender and various role arrangements, depending on the individuals involved.

Origin and terminology: The term is a Turkish loanword derived from the English word pegging. The English term is generally credited with being popularized in the early 2000s, and pegilasyon has become the conventional Turkish equivalent in contemporary sexual language.

Practice and preparation: Successful pegilasyon relies on clear consent, open communication, and negotiation of boundaries and comfort levels. Preparation includes adequate lubrication, choosing an appropriate harness, and gradual progression to larger toys if desired. Safety considerations include using a condom on the dildo to reduce infection risk and stopping if pain or discomfort occurs. Aftercare, such as reassuring touch and hydration, is commonly part of the experience.

Health and safety: The anal canal is delicate, and improper technique can cause tissue damage or infections. Start with smaller inserts, proceed slowly, and ensure ample lubrication. Clean toys thoroughly after use and avoid sharing gear without proper sanitation; use toy-safe cleaners and store equipment properly.

Social and cultural context: Pegilasyon can be stigmatized or misunderstood in some societies, while others discuss it more openly as part of sexual education and wellness. Attitudes toward the practice vary by culture, generation, and personal beliefs, with emphasis generally placed on consent, safety, and mutual pleasure.
