Double penetration is a wide-ranging term that collectively refers to inserting two body parts or objects into a person for sexual pleasure. There are many different ways double penetration can be achieved, in terms of what is being inserted where and by whom. Combinations of penises, fingers, fists, tongues, sex toys (including dildos, strap-ons, butt plugs and more) can be inserted simultaneously during sex. A double penetration scene can be solo, two people, or three people (adding in more folks would potentially change the number of penetrations) and involve any combination of oral, vaginal or anal penetration.
Double penetration is not limited to any specific gender, identity or sexual orientation. Any combination of people can participate in double penetration activities. It is a fulfilling and pleasurable activity on many different levels, for both the people penetrating and those being penetrated.
A common misconception is that double penetration specifically refers to two penises of two people being simultaneously inserted into the vagina and anus of a single person. This limiting belief is widely perpetuated by pornography, in which double penetration is a significant subgenre. Frequently referred to as DP, it is often presented with one person with a penis on their back, penetrating a second person’s vagina as they face each other, with a third person on top penetrating the second person’s anus from behind. Sometimes the order is reversed and the second person faces the third person so that the first person is penetrating anally why the third person penetrates vaginally.
