Having one thing inside you can be fun, but having two things offers twice the sensation. Even Oreos think that being double stuffed is a good idea! ;)
What exactly is double penetration? Well, according to sexpert and creator of Peg the Patriarchy, Luna Matatas, “Double penetration is any act that involves filling one or more orifices (anus, vagina, or mouth) with any combination of penises, dildos, ball gags, butt plugs (or other sex toys), fingers, and fists.”
In other words, it’s a sex act that anyone with any body type can engage in and deeply enjoy. Many report an incredible sense of “fullness” when it comes to simultaneous penetration (also referred to as DP).
What does double penetration feel like?
When it comes to putting two objects inside a body, there’s a whole category of sexual pleasure available to everyone, including vagina-owners. Now, it’s good to know that you don’t have to experience group sex, public sex, or hardcore DP to get the most out of having two things inside you.
The truth is, double penetration can be super satisfying when taken on as an activity solo, and can also be fun to do alongside your favorite Penetrating Partner Playmate. In many cases, a woman/vagina owner is going to be receiving more penetration simply because they have the choice of including their pussy/vagina as well as anus and/or mouth.
Now, let’s talk about the difference between having anal sex and engaging in double penetration. There are actually people who don’t love anal on its own, but do enjoy DP that involves anal. “When it comes to a massive amount of pleasure, even women who don’t particularly like anal sex often find double penetration with a toy immensely pleasurable,” says Joe Duncan, editor at Sexography. “[T]his is because of the nerve endings that share the vaginal and anal walls, nerve endings which receive stimulation on both sides, rather than just one. There are women out there who find anal sex or anal play alone either a bore or a literal pain in the butt, but these same women often find double penetration amazingly pleasurable, so if this is you, you’re not alone.”
Something to highlight from that: There are a whole bunch of nerve endings on the wall between the vagina and anus — and it can be really satisfying to stimulate that shared wall. Double penetration, whether with a partner or with anal sex toys, can feel really good because you’re gettin’ at allll those nerve endings at the same time. Or in the words of one woman, “It feels like being very full; it feels like all the best parts of having anal sex and vaginal sex at the same time. It’s great!”
How to perform double penetration?
Double penetration doesn’t have to involve 2 cocks penetrating one body. There are plenty of other insertable objects that can create a very fulfilling, full feeling. These include dildos — so for example, you could play with a dildo inside your vagina and have a partner penetrate you anally; butt plugs — you could insert a butt plug and then have a partner penetrate you vaginally (if you have a vagina); or vibrating wands — so you could have a vibrating wand up your booty and have a ball gag or cock in your mouth. These are all examples of how to engage in DP.
Also, it “counts” as double penetration even if both things are going into the same orifice (i.e. vagina, anus, or mouth). So, if this is a 2000 Sex Things On My Bucket List item and you only like things in your mouth, you could just put two penetration-shaped objects in your mouth. Achievement unlocked!
It’s also important to remember that you don’t need a partner to engage in double penetration. DP can be practiced solo with dildos, butt plugs, and other fun sex toy penetration objects. Do you know what are anal beads? For instance, you could buy two sets of anal beads that are spaced such that you can alternate and insert both strings into your bum, then snugly store them away until they need to pop back out again. You could also add some nipple clamps into the mix, so you can get some more of that delicious overstimulation.
Now, if you’ve got both a vagina and an anus (lucky!), you can stick things in both of your orifices, and they can interact inside you in fun, yummy ways. You could, for example, get some anal beads and then use your favorite dildo at the same time. And again: You don’t need to be some sort of hardcore double penetration badass like Veronica Leal, getting simultaneous penetration from two hulking burly dudes, or succumbing to double anal penetration and double vaginal penetration, taking both ends of a double sided dildo for the delight of internet fans watching porn videos around the world, to have a good time.
If you are sticking things in your butt (fun for everyone regardless of sexual orientation!), remember that lube is vital (along with foreplay). Lube is that lovely serum that allows any anal penetration toy, plug, or cock to move in and out in a pleasurable way, rather than one of pain and discomfort. Please use lube. Also, use lube appropriate for the types of toys and protective barriers you’re using. If you’re engaging in a sex act with a penis owner who’s wearing a condom, for example, no oil-based lubes for you. If you’ve got a silicone plug up inside that sexy sphincter of yours, don’t use silicone lube — it won’t be good for your toy’s health.
Also, just because you want to take a big cock-shaped thing in your butt doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to do that right away. Foreplay and practice are essential in getting anything large into a bottom, so invest time into doing that, maybe with an anal trainer plug set that allows your bum to go from “itty-bitty” size to “Yep, that’s all the way up there!” size.
This is, perhaps, also a good moment to delve briefly into the world of the flavor of double penetration, that is, two penises (or penis-shaped objects) inside one anus. In other words, two cocks in one ass. Again, this is something you really do want to work up to. Or in the words of Gays.com, “Preparation in anal sex is everything. And that means preparation on your own before picking those prize pricks to take your D.P. cherry. Double penetration is all about taking girth. Different butt plug sizes and dildos are your dearest, most trusted friends.”
The fact is, having two cocks in the butt is something akin to sexual acrobatics. It takes lots of practice and preparation to do safely; it’s not really an off-the-shelf, double things-in-butt thing, and may be a once-in-a-lifetime sexual activity for you. Wondering how to massage prostate effectively? Even one item inside your butt is fun, though, and can provide overpowering prostate stimulation that can lead to the elusive prostate orgasm. There are so many different possibilities to choose from!
How about two cocks inside one vulva? Yep, that’s a thing, too. And what does it feel like? According to Elle Beau, “There was an initial sensation of being really stretched, but it almost immediately transformed into a feeling of just being very full, as if one really thick dick was inside me … There’s just a sense of decadent abundance, which is also magnified by the mental turn-on of thinking about what you are doing.”
Here’s another practical tip: Position-wise, if something large is inside your bottom, it can be difficult to make lots of bendy motions. Be sure to pick positions that allow all the penis-piston-action to go cleanly inside the orifices so that there’s not too much rubbing on the anal walls.
Quick tip for the vagina owner that’s sticking things in their pussy and butt: If the butt item is a plug, put that in before vaginal penetration. Butt-related things have a tendency to be more finicky, so you’ll want to have the plug settle into a comfortable position before going at it penis-in-vag style.
What do people like about double penetration?
In part, double penetration is appealing because it’s naughty. In the words of Daniel T., 39, who, on a regular basis, penetrates his boyfriend anally while his boyfriend has a ball gag in his mouth, says, ‘DP feels amazing for both of us, but I think the taboo nature of double penetration is one of its main appeals for me.’”
From a penis owner’s perspective as a receiver, double penetration can be particularly pleasurable due to the “naughty” aspect. For example, if you’re a man who identifies as hetero, it can actually be really pleasurable to be penetrated by your partner — and double penetration is a whole other level. Being digitally penetrated or even pegged by a partner can be deeply connecting and lead to those delicious P-spot orgasms everyone’s talking about. Next level? Wearing a ball gag and being penetrated at the same time. There’s a level of trust and surrender that can feel pretty incredible, especially for those who feel like they need to be in charge or in control all the time.
Finally, it’s good to remember that everyone’s body is different, and everyone deserves sexual pleasure. You don’t need to have a big cock or big breasts to be desirable — and you don’t have to feel ashamed about any sex act that turns you on. You may be super into the idea of DP, but the actual experience doesn’t work for you. That’s OK! Or maybe you never thought you’d enjoy it, but you try it, and it ignites something within you. Go at your own pace and enjoy. Your sexual identity is part of your identity as a person, and if whether you want to film your own cumshot, penetrate your partner while they’re being penetrated by something or someone else, or you just want to feel a vibrating butt plug in you while wearing a ball gag, you’re free to follow your bliss.
