We’re here today to remove some of the intimidation that comes with double penetration. In this article, we’ll explain what double penetration is, why so many people are into it, how it feels, and how you can try out double penetration yourself.
And spoiler alert – you don’t need multiple sexual partners (or any sexual partner) to try out double penetration. But you’ll have to keep reading to find out how.
What is double penetration?
Double penetration is when a person gets penetrated through two orifices simultaneously. This could be any combination of a person’s mouth, anus, or vagina. You can try out double penetration with multiple partners, with one partner, or just by yourself.
While many people are familiar with double penetration, there are just as many misconceptions about it.
For example, if you do a quick Google search of double penetration, you’ll be faced with a lot of content. And the thing is, most videos and images of double penetration on the internet show the person getting penetrated in close-to-impossible positions that only gymnasts can perform.
That said, this isn’t how double penetration has to be like. There are many ways to try out double penetration, and not all of the methods require multiple partners or superhuman flexibility.
Double penetration can be very enjoyable and something you can do with your one partner or without a partner at all. But before we get to how you can try it out yourself and the different ways to do so, let’s check out why people enjoy double penetration or DP in the first place.
Why do people enjoy DP?
There are many reasons people enjoy DP. Seeing their partner in such a submissive state is a huge turn-on for many people and excites their dominant side. And when trying out double penetration in a male-female-male (MFM) threesome, both penetrators will experience elevated testosterone, which means they will stay hard and in the mood for much longer.
On the flip side, the person being penetrated during double penetration can fully explore their submissive side during this sex act. Double penetration requires you to hand your trust over to your partner or partners as they take complete control of pleasure.
After discussing your needs and boundaries with your partners, getting penetrated by two people simultaneously can be an ecstatic experience. On top of that, some people feel a sense of pride in being able to take two people at the same time.
Exploring double penetration, whether getting penetrated or playing the penetrator, can be a lot of fun, which is why many people explore it with their partners or by themselves.
What does double penetration feel like?
Being on the receiving end of double penetration is an intense feeling that’s hard to match. If you’re receiving double penetration and have a vulva, the stimulation is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. During double penetration, your vulva, clitoris, and anus are getting stimulated at the same time, which can result in a powerful and pleasurable experience.
People on the receiving end of DP usually report harder, longer, and more intense orgasms. Even those with a prostate feel intense pleasure because of the extra pressure.
For the penetrator in DP, it can be just as fun. To start, if you have a penis, penetrating your partner from one orifice, while they are getting penetrated in another orifice, can make the vagina or anus feel extra tight. On top of that, you will be able to feel your partner quiver in pleasure during DP, which is nothing but fun.
That said, constant communication is a must if you want the best experience during double penetration. It’s essential to understand how your partner or partners feel at any given time and adjust to their needs.
Just like with any sex act, having fun with DP requires you to understand and cater to each other’s needs. And if you’re in doubt about whether or not you’re doing the right thing, you can always ask your partner so that both of you have the best experience possible.

Trying out double penetration yourself
Now that you know how much fun DP can be for everyone involved, you might wonder how you can try it out yourself. And while pornography shows that DP is only possible with multiple sexual partners, that’s far from the case.
DP with multiple partners can be a lot of fun, but it’s not the only way to do it. In this section, we’ll go through how you can explore DP with yourself, with one partner, and with multiple partners.
That way, you can try out this sex act in a way where everyone is comfortable and feels safe.
With your partner
Communication is key if you want to explore double penetration with your partner. Don’t be afraid to bring this up in conversation, as you won’t get anywhere without talking to each other. So, before anything else, make sure you talk to your partner.
During your conversation, try to learn what each of you wants and where your boundaries lie. Feel free to have multiple conversations about this so that both of you understand how to try out DP while staying within each other’s comfort zones.
You can always try DP by inviting someone else to the bedroom, but it doesn’t have to be that way. You can try out DP with your partner by buying a sex toy, such as a dildo or a butt plug, that you can use when having sex to increase the intensity.
And when you actually start exploring DP with your partner, make sure to have a safe word. Double penetration isn’t necessarily BDSM, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need a safe word. Having a safe word can make both parties feel more comfortable while trying out DP.
Additionally, aftercare is also very important when experimenting with DP. After you are done, make sure you and your partner take the time to “debrief” to help the two of you get back to reality. This is also a great time to talk about how it felt for both of you and the things you can do differently to make the experience even better next time.
With multiple partners
Communication is just as important if you want to try out DP with multiple partners. Aside from talking to your partner and finding the right person to invite to the bedroom, you also need to invite the third party and talk with each other.
It’s essential to establish boundaries for everyone involved. A threesome can be very intense, so constant communication is crucial to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience.
And when trying out DP with multiple partners, communication during sex becomes even more important. So, make sure that everyone is communicating during the session and everyone is on the same page to ensure that all parties involved have as much fun as possible.
Alone
You don’t need partners to try out DP. However, this isn’t something you can squeeze into your afternoon schedule. If you want to try out DP alone, you need to set aside the time for it so you can really build up arousal and prepare your orifices.
To start, you’ll need a lot of lube, and keep it handy throughout. On top of that, you’re going to need multiple toys. And once you have everything you need, you’re ready to try out DP alone.
We recommend keeping one toy stationary and one toy moving when starting out. This is much easier to do while still offering a lot of pleasure.
A great way to start is by pleasuring yourself to orgasm or edging yourself from one opening, whether the vulva or the anus. And once you have your first orgasm, you can try sliding in the other toy in your other opening.
While this is a great way to start, everyone experiments with themselves differently, so don’t be afraid to try out different things when you’re alone. After all, this will allow you to find out what you’re comfortable with before inviting your partner or partners to the bedroom.
Tips for trying out DP
Even if you’re fully ready to try out DP and have talked to your partner about it thoroughly, doing it for the first time can be a tough task. So, here are a couple of tips you can keep in mind when trying out DP for a more pleasurable experience:
- Lube. You’re going to need a lot of lube when trying out DP. So, make sure you have a fair amount of lube near you when trying it out, whether that be with a partner or by yourself
- Always communicate. Constant communication is necessary when trying out DP with other people. Aside from establishing needs and boundaries beforehand, it’s important to talk to each other to ensure that everyone is comfortable and feeling pleasure
- Foreplay. Having two phalluses inside you can be a daunting task. This is why foreplay is very important to stimulate the people involved and get them in the mood. That way, it will be much easier to slide a sex toy or penis into the person’s orifices

Best positions for double penetration
Here are some positions that are ideal for DP that are comfortable and pleasurable for everyone involved:
- Wishbone. The person getting penetrated lays on their side while the penetrators stand next to each other
- Spooning. The penetrators face each other, with the person getting penetrated in between. This is both very comfortable and pleasurable for all parties
- Cowgirl. Have one person lie down and have the person getting penetrated go on top of them and slide their penis into the vagina. From there, the person getting penetrated can lean forward, exposing their anus for the other person to penetrate them
Will you give it a go?
Double penetration is a very well-known sex act that is largely misunderstood. But now that you know more about double penetration and that you don’t need two more people to try it out, it might be a bit less intimidating.
Again, communication is very important if you want to try out double penetration yourself. Whether trying it out alone, with a partner, or with multiple partners, it’s crucial to establish your needs and boundaries. That way, you’re comfortable all throughout and can focus on the immense pleasure that DP brings to everyone involved.
