Tips for your first double penetration

Double penetration (or DP as it’s known) is one of those sexual acts that still remains somewhat taboo or seen as vaguely extreme. However, lots of people really enjoy the feeling of being stretched-out and there are obvious reasons why it is appealing to so many, so let’s consider what it is and how best to get into DP if you’re a novice.

What is it?

DP is generally understood as the act of a woman getting penetrated in the anus and vagina at the same time by two penises, but it can of course occur as a combination of penis and and dildo, or simply two dildos on a strap-on. 

How to get it on!

When it comes to DP a couple of things are crucial. Firstly, it’s the consent of the person getting doubly penetrated. Make sure that you are both (or all three) clear on what’s happening and that you’re all comfortable. Secondly, it’s important that position and toys have been trialed or at least discussed beforehand. And as always, all things are better with lube, so lube up really well and insist.

Control in the hands of the penetrated

The control in this scenario is all in the hands of the person getting penetrated and since this is a position that stretches tissues and can sometimes be extreme. Make sure you go gently and, if you’re using toys, that these and the harnesses have been trialled beforehand.

Positions that make it easy

Positions with DP vary according to how you’re engaging in it. If you’re having a threesome, then often the best way to get started is to straddle one partner and tip forward, allowing your other partner to penetrate you anally from behind once you’re already comfortable. 

DP is something of a taboo perhaps, but as we become more open about sex and monogamy, it’s definitely something that we are all due to come across some day soon.
