Ready to turn things up a notch (or two)?
Double penetration (DP) is like the holy grail of adventurous sex.
It’s intense, it’s exhilarating, and, when done right, it can lead to sensations that’ll blow your mind.
Whether you’re fantasizing about trying it for the first time or already dipping your toes into the DP waters, this guide is here to walk you through everything you need to know.
So, buckle up, it’s time to dive into the world of double the pleasure!
What is Double Penetration?
Before we get started, let’s break it down. Double penetration involves two penetrations at once, typically one in the vagina and one in the anus.
It can happen with two partners, a partner and a toy, or even two toys (for those looking to explore on their own). The beauty of DP is that it’s totally customisable to what works best for you.
The key to amazing double penetration? Preparation, communication, and, you guessed it, tons of lube. Ready to get started? Let’s jump into the tips!
Start with the Fantasy
First things first, double penetration is as much about the mental experience as the physical one.
For a lot of people, the fantasy of DP is what gets their heart racing, and that's totally part of the fun.
So before you even get to the logistics, take some time to explore the fantasy.
Pro tip: Talk with your partner (or partners) about your fantasies. You might get turned on just talking about the idea of DP before even trying it. Not to mention, it’ll help you figure out what you’re excited about and what you want to explore together.
Communication is Everything
This might seem obvious, but it’s worth repeating: Communication is key when it comes to double penetration.
Whether you’re trying DP with a partner and a toy, or with two partners, making sure everyone is on the same page is super important.
Not only does it ensure a comfortable experience, but it makes things way hotter when everyone knows what to expect.
What to discuss: Talk about boundaries, what you’re curious to try, and how you’ll communicate if something isn’t working. A little planning goes a long way to keep things sexy and safe.
Warm-Up is Non-Negotiable
Double penetration is a whole new level of intensity, so warming up your body is essential.
Don’t just jump into DP right away, spend some time on foreplay to make sure your body is ready and relaxed.
Start by teasing both areas (vaginal and anal) with your fingers or small toys to get things loosened up.
Anal play, especially, takes time to get used to, so take things slow, and use plenty of lube.
The more you relax and warm up, the better it’s going to feel when you move into double penetration.
Lube is Your Best Friend
Speaking of lube, let’s make this crystal clear: Lube is everything when it comes to DP.
The last thing you want is any friction down there, so be generous with it. Water-based or silicone-based lube works great, just make sure to keep it handy for reapplication as needed.
Pro tip: If you’re using toys, silicone-based lube tends to last longer, but make sure it’s compatible with your toys (some silicone toys don’t play well with silicone lube). Either way, when it comes to DP, the more lube, the better!
Start Small and Build Up
If it’s your first time, don’t feel like you need to go full-on DP right away.
You can start by experimenting with one partner (or toy) focusing on vaginal penetration and another gently teasing your anus.
The goal is to ease into it and get comfortable with the sensation.
Start with small anal toys or fingers and gradually build up to larger toys or full penetration.
Once your body is relaxed and enjoying both sensations, you can move into full double penetration. The key is to go at your own pace and listen to your body.
The Perfect Positions for DP
Now, let’s discuss positions. Double penetration can require some creativity and flexibility, so finding the right position that works for everyone is essential.
Here are a few of the best ones to try:
- Cowgirl with a Toy: If you’re new to DP and not ready to involve two partners, start with one partner lying down while you ride them in cowgirl. Use a small anal toy or a partner’s fingers to explore anal penetration at the same time. You get to control the depth and pace, which makes it easier to adjust to the sensations.
- Spooning: Spooning is great because it’s intimate and allows for easy access to both the vagina and anus. One partner can enter you vaginally from behind while the other teases or penetrates your anus. This position is ideal for those looking for a more relaxed, slow-paced DP experience.
- Double Doggy Style: Once you’re more comfortable, double doggy is a classic DP position. One partner penetrates vaginally while the other enters from behind for anal penetration. This position gives both partners a good angle for deep, rhythmic thrusts, making it an intense but thrilling experience.
Stay in Tune with Your Body
Double penetration is a lot to take in (literally!), so listen to your body throughout the experience.
If something feels too intense or uncomfortable, slow down, or adjust the position.
DP should be about pleasure, not pressure, so there’s no harm in taking breaks or switching things up.
Communication is key: Keep checking in with your partner(s) to make sure everything is feeling good for everyone. A quick “How’s that feel?” or “Want to switch things up?” can go a long way in making the experience more enjoyable.
The Big Finish
Let’s be real, DP can lead to some incredible orgasms. The simultaneous stimulation of both the vagina and anus can create sensations you’ve never felt before.
But remember, the goal of DP isn’t just about reaching the finish line. It’s about the journey, the buildup, the intensity, and the thrill of experiencing something new and exciting.
When you do reach that big finish, let go and enjoy it. Whether you climax from the penetration itself, or you (or a partner) add in some clitoral stimulation, DP can lead to explosive orgasms that’ll leave you breathless.
Aftercare is a Must
After such an intense experience, a little aftercare is the perfect way to wind down. Take some time to relax, cuddle, or just talk about how things felt.
You might want to clean up with a warm towel or take a bath together, whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Why it matters: Aftercare helps you and your partner(s) reconnect and process the experience.
Plus, it’s the perfect time to share what you loved, what you might try differently next time, and, of course, bask in the post-DP glow.
Take Your Time and Enjoy the Ride
Double penetration can feel like an intense, adventurous experience, but it’s also a journey of exploration and pleasure.
The most important thing? Don’t rush! Take your time, communicate openly, and make sure everyone’s comfortable and enjoying themselves.
Whether it’s with two partners, a partner and a toy, or just you and your favorite toys, DP offers the chance to explore sensations like never before. Ready to dive into double the fun?
Grab some lube, find the right rhythm, and enjoy every second!
