It’s pretty easy to slip into routine, it adds structure to our lives. Wake up in the morning, pour a cup of coffee, find the car keys, pat the dog, go to work, hit the gym, and order out. But routine gets boring, variety is the spice of life. That may be why many people who are looking to up the ante in the bedroom ask: “What is double penetration?” “What does it feel like?” And “Should I explore it?”
So, What is Double Penetration?
Put simply, double penetration (or as it is also known ‘DP’), is when a person is penetrated simultaneously in two of their orifices (as in the vagina anus, or mouth).
For many people, the idea of double penetration might sound a bit overwhelming. But the truth is that double penetration can be a stimulating way to spice things up in the bedroom - and it can deliver incredible orgasms.
DP is not limited to couples' play. In fact, masturbation is the perfect way to get used to the idea and deal with any anxieties regarding anal play. Add a vibrator or two-in-one/double-sided sex toy and exploring double penetration becomes even more exciting and rewarding.
The Fear Factor
Double penetration usually involves the penetration of the vagina and anus. For many women, the idea of anal penetration can be off-putting due to a variety of factors. Firstly there is the association of your bum with poop - that’s understandable. Take it slow and pay attention to hygiene. Go to the toilet and have a shower prior to sex. This will help make anal (part and parcel of most DP experiences) much less stressful.
What Does Double Penetration Feel Like?
What’s it like? Why do people do it? It depends on your personal preferences and style. DP requires generous applications of lubricant to make the experience comfortable and rewarding. There are some real reasons why people might seriously enjoy penetration.
So, can we turn to science to get an idea of what double penetration feels like?
The anus, which is usually the orifice of choice when it comes to DP, is packed with nerve endings. Of special interest is the pudendal nerve. Vagina owners are in for a treat, the pudendal nerve carries sensation to your vagina, labia, and clitoris.
But, for women, the delicious sensations provided by those nerve endings are not the only attraction of anal penetration. There’s also the possibility of what are called ‘A-Spot Anal Orgasms.’
The A-spot, or anterior fornix erogenous zone can be found embedded in the front wall of the vagina (between the cervix and the bladder). The anus is next door to the vaginal wall, which means that you are stimulating this important erogenous zone when engaging in double penetration.
The result of stimulating the A-Spot is incredible sensations. Now combine that with clitoral stimulation and penetration and you have all the recipe for wall shuddering, call-the-fire-department orgasms.
Elle Beau writes about her experience with DP, “There’s just a sense of decadent abundance, which is also magnified by the mental turn-on of thinking about what you are doing.”
So, ‘what does double penetration feel like? It feels very, very good.
How Does Double Penetration Work?
Here are a few DP combinations one could experiment with:
- Using a vibrating dildo vaginally while using a butt plug simultaneously.
- Using a butt plug during partnered vaginal penetration.
- A partner inserting a vibrating vaginally while they’re already inside of you.
Don’t Skip Foreplay
Double penetration will feel ten times better if you’re thoroughly aroused. Not to mention, your body will be far more receptive to intense penetration.
Solo & Partnered Play
DP can be enjoyed partnered or solo!
If you’re exploring double penetration with a partner remember to COMMUNICATE, often.
If you’re exploring double penetration solo, remember to go slow, use lube, and have a few incredible sex toys on deck.
Sex Toys & Double Penetration
Getting the most from your DP experience is entirely reliant on which sex toys you choose. And you are faced with an enormous choice.
Your choice of which sex toy to choose for double penetration needn't be confusing. If the feedback we receive at Berrylemon is any indicator, the toys below should be at the top of your bucket list.
Butt Plugs
For obvious reasons, double penetration and butt plugs go together like peanut butter and jelly. But make your choice of butt plug carefully, what your aiming for is that ‘Goldilocks’ sex toy. Neither too big or too small.
Your ideal DP toy also needs to be manufactured using the best materials (your best choice is high-quality silicone), and your toy should allow you to set the pace and select the sensations you enjoy. A remote control butt plug is elite.
Leo - The Orgasmic Butt Plug
If you are new to anal play then we recommend Leo. Leo is one of BerryLemon’s most popular anal toys and it has it all. It’s perfect for newbies due to its petite dimensions and tapered design. It also provides you with incredible choices when it comes to sensations - thanks to two motors. Those motors are found in the shaft of the toy and in the rotating ‘rimmer’ base.
The base is important when it comes to any anal play - and especially when it comes to double penetration. Your anal toy needs to stay in place, even when you up the tempo during masturbation or when getting busy with a partner.
Leo is programmed with 10 massage modes and a remote that controls the action. A remote-controlled anal toy allows you to keep the focus on pleasure, rather than fumbling for the correct level of vibration when the going gets hot and heavy.
Vaginal Penetration Toys
Dildos, rabbits, g-spotters, glass dildos — you name it, if you’re exploring DP solo you’ll need a fabulous vaginal vibrator.
Fleur - The Dual Stimulator Rabbit Vibrator
Who hasn’t heard of Rabbit-style vibrators? They’re tremendously popular, reliable orgasm machines. Fleur takes the Rabbit ideal and reinvents it to provide shudderingly intense orgasms.
This vibrator is a jack-of-all-trades. It can be used for vaginal penetration with clitoral stimulation or anal. It gives you the ultimate choice.
The silky-smooth Fleur is subtly ribbed and boasts two motors, as well as an incredible 10 massage modes. That means pleasure at your own pace.
Lube
Before you leap into the deep end of double penetration make sure that you have a quality lube at hand. A water-based lubricant like XOXO is perfect for use with silicone sex toys. A water-based lube will not damage silicone sex toys, unlike other lubricant formulations.
No matt what lube you use, apply early and often, and remember you need to ease into anal penetration.
What is Double Penetration? - Now You Know
It’s unlikely that double penetration will come up in dinner conversations anytime soon. If it does, I humbly request an invite - that’s entertainment.
If the subject does come up during the desert course, you’ll be a font of knowledge. Aside from possibly making you the toast of the town, knowing more about DP can be the first step on a road towards unbelievable orgasms - and keeping the flames burning in the bedroom.
Double penetration is a journey of exploration - and it’s a journey that you can take whether you are flying solo, or enjoying a personal sex safari with a partner.
