Feeling as though you're pressured into doing something that you don't feel comfortable should be communicated with the other person that's insisting of it. Peer pressure is its own category whether someone is trying to pressure you to have sex, do drugs, or drink... its all in the same field of pressuring someone that doesn't feel comfortable of what they would be doing. The person that is feeling pressured isn't at fault but it would be better to straight forwardly be open to talk about what they might not want to do. Because some people could be mislead if nothing is shared within... I don't like this or I do like this, communication is the stabilizer in this situation because both people have to be responsible of letting their emotions known and awknowledged as well. So if you feel as though even though you did mention to your partner or whoever is pressurimg you and they still haven't taken the hint. Then you should really consult them... let it know because even if it doesn't cross their mind the first time, it could always be heard in later approaches. Be persistent and let them hear what you want to tell them don't ever give up and give into the pressure, it'll only make the situation much worse, and possibly the relationship itself, so please speak out for yourself and your body, cherish it, cherish yourself.
