Nope, not at all. Some people just do shit cuz it feels good. Submission is not necessarily in the act - it's in the attitude.

Me personally, I think it's all in the attitude of the man and woman.

This. I would not say pegging has to be a dom/sub thing. We don't do that at all. But I will say that there's something empowering about pegging my partner. What it is though, is the fact that I can pleasure him in more ways than before we started pegging. I love seeing how much he enjoys it and it gets me all hot and bothered too. But this isn't because I'm dominating him. Not at all.

Its not about being submissive, its about having fun and feeling good. I enjoy pegging but I'm still "The Man"

No. It can be. But it does not need to be

short answer: no.
long answer: not anymore than there is something inherently submissive about being penetrated in any context, regardless of the gender of either participant. being penetrated is seen as a submissive act because it's traditionally the female role.

so no, being pegged is not inherently submissive, and the only reason it's seen as inherently submissive is patriarchy/misogyny.

Being pegged is just another way to experience pleasure. It's only submissive if that's the mindset that it's taken with. A dominant could ask for it to be done just for the good feelings of it and have the submissive do it as a service act, for example.

No way. I order people to fuck me. Why can't someone order someone to peg them?

It's not necessarily submissive--but it CAN be. That's the way we started out doing it and it's still the way we usually do it. I brought pegging up to start with, and I was topping from the bottom all the way to start with, but I encouraged her to take charge and really dominate the hell out of me if she wanted to--and YEAH--she wanted to!

This! It's not submissive unless you want it to be!

Not submissive in the sense that I'd wanna wear a little pink dress and suck the dildo.

However, there is something about being face down while my wife fucks the life out of my butt that makes me powerless to resist. Just her hand on my back is enough to hold me down. I have no control over her speed and duration. After I've come, I feel very cuddly and very loyal to her.

This is completely different than penis / vagina sex where I do feel like I'm doing the driving.

i see what you're saying but i think it can also be done in a dominant way SOMETIMES. Its usually submissive though in my opinion!
