Multiple penetration

multiple gasmMultiple penetration refers to one person being sexually penetrated several times simultaneously. It generally involves between three and five participants. Penetration may be accomplished by fingers, toes, sex toys, or penises. These positions are popular in pornography, but it is difficult to say whether they enjoy any significant popularity outside of it.

threesomeIf one person is penetrated by two objects, it is generically called double penetration (sometimes abbreviated dp). Given the vagina, anus and mouth, there are six ways in which this can be done. These include:

  • Simultaneous penetration of the anus by two penises or other objects. This is commonly called double anal or double stuffing.
  • Simultaneous penetration of the vagina by two penises or other objects. This is commonly called double vaginal or double stuffing.
  • Simultaneous penetration of the vagina and anus. If this is done using penises and/or strap-on dildos, this is sometimes called the sandwich or BigMac. The shocker (see above) accomplishes this using several fingers of one hand.
  • Simultaneous penetration of the mouth and either the vagina or anus. If the penetrating objects are penises, this is sometimes called the spit roast. The character Alyssa Jones in Chasing Amy acquired the nickname “finger cuffs” after participating in this act.

If one person is penetrated by three objects, it is generically called triple penetration. Possibilities include:

  • Two penises penetrating the vagina and one in the anus or vice versa. While possible, this position is very difficult.
  • Three penises penetrating either the vagina or the anus simultaneously.[15]
  • One penis in the anus, one in the vagina, and one in the mouth simultaneously.

double penetrationThese variations of multiple penetration are commonly seen in pornography aimed at straight men. Some of these positions put two men in intimate contact with each other, either directly or indirectly.

Penetration by larger numbers of objects is rarer and generally not named, with two exceptions, both of which are likely physically impossible:

  • Double vaginal, double anal penetration (DVDA): simultaneous penetration of the vagina and anus of a single woman by two penises each. The term gained popularity after its inclusion in the movie Orgazmo by South Park co-creator Trey Parker, and is also the name of Parker’s and Matt Stone’s band.
  • Triple-Double: Multiple penetration of a single woman by six penises. Two penises in the mouth, vagina, and anus simultaneously.

Penetrative positions

These positions involve the insertion of a penis or other phallus (such as a strap-on dildo) into a vagina or anus.

missionary vagina

Penetrating partner on top with front entry

These positions are primarily used vaginally, although some can also be used for anal sex. The basic position is called the missionary position. In it, the receiving partner lies on their back with their legs apart. The penetrating partner lies on top of the receiving partner, facing them. The following variations are possible:

  • The penetrating partner stands in front of the receiving partner, whose legs dangle over the edge of a bed or some other platform like a table.[3] With the receiving partner’s legs lifted towards the ceiling and resting against the penetrating partner, this is sometimes called the butterfly position. This can also be done as a kneeling position.
  • The receiving partner lies on their back. The penetrating partner stands and lifts the receiving partner’s pelvis for penetration. A variant is for the receiving partner to rest their legs on the penetrating partner’s shoulders.
  • The receiving partner lies on their back, with their legs pulled up straight and their knees near their head. The penetrating partner holds the receiving partner’s legs and penetrates from above.
  • Similarly to the previous position, but the receiving partner’s legs need not be straight and the penetrating partner wraps their arms around the receiving partner to push their legs as close as possible to their chest. Called the stopperage in Burton’s translation of The Perfumed Garden.
  • The coital alignment technique, a position where a woman is penetrated vaginally: the penetrating partner enters vaginally in the missionary position and moves slightly forward so that the base of the phallus rubs the clitoris.
  • The receiving partner crosses their feet behind their head (or at least puts their feet next to their ears), while lying on their back. The penetrating partner then holds the receiving partner tightly around each instep or ankle and lies on the receiving partner full-length. A variation is to have the receiving partner cross their ankles on their stomach, knees to shoulders, and then have the penetrating partner lie on the receiving partner’s crossed ankles with their full weight. Called the Viennese oyster by The Joy of Sex.

Penetrating from behind

penetrating from behindMost of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal penetration.

  • The receiving partner is on all fours with their torso horizontal. The penetrating partner inserts from behind. This is called the doggy position.
  • In a variant on the doggy position, the receiving partner’s torso is angled downwards. The penetrating partner can raise their own hips above those of the receiving partner for maximum penetration.
  • In another variant of the doggy position, the penetrating partner places their feet on each side of the receiving partner while keeping their knees bent and effectively raising up as high as possible while maintaining penetration. The penetrating partner’s hands usually have to be placed on the receiving partner’s back to keep from falling forward.
  • In a variant on the doggy position, the receiving partner kneels upright. The penetrating partner may gently pull the receiving partner’s arms backwards at the wrists towards them.
  • In the spoons position both partners lie on their same side facing in the same direction.
  • The receiving partner lies on their side. The penetrating partner kneels and penetrates from behind. Alternatively, the penetrating partner can stand if the receiving partner is on a raised surface.
  • The receiving partner lies facing down, possibly with their legs spread. The penetrating partner lies on top of them. The placement of a pillow beneath the receiving partner’s hips can help increase stimulation in this position.
  • The receiving partner lies face down, knees together. The penetrating partner lies on top with spread legs.
  • The receiving partner lies on their side with their uppermost leg forward. The penetrating partner kneels astride the receiver’s lowermost leg.

Receiving partner on top

behind penetrationMost of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal penetration.

  • The penetrating partner lies on their back. The receiving partner kneels on top of the penetrator facing them. Sometimes called the cowboy or cowgirl position. See Receptive partner on top position.
  • As above, but the receiving partner sits on top of the penetrator facing away from them. Sometimes called the reverse cowboy or reverse cowgirl position. See Reverse receptive partner on top position.
  • As above, but the receiving partner arches their back with their hands on the ground.
  • As above, but the receiving partner squats (instead of kneeling) on top of the penetrator facing toward them.
  • The penetrating partner is on their back with the receiving partner lying down on top with their knees brought forward against the ground.
  • The penetrating partner lies with their upper back on a low table, couch, chair or edge of bed, keeping their feet flat on the floor and back parallel to floor. The receiving partner straddles them, also keeping their feet on the floor. Receiving partner can assume any of various positions.
  • The lateral coital position was recommended by Masters and Johnson, and was preferred by three quarters of their heterosexual study participants after having tried it. The position involves the man on his back, with the woman rolled slightly to the side so that her pelvis is atop his, but her weight is beside his.

Sitting and kneeling

sitting positionMost of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal penetration.

  • The penetrating partner sits on an area surface, legs outstretched. The receiving partner sits on top and wraps their legs around the penetrating partner. Called pounding on the spot in the Burton translation of The Perfumed Garden. If the penetrator crosses their legs instead, it is called the lotus position.
  • The penetrating partner sits in a chair. The receiving partner straddles penetrating partner and sits, facing the penetrating partner, feet on floor. This is sometimes known as the lap dance. Other receiver-on-top variants can be adapted in this way as well.
  • The penetrating partner sits on a couch or in a chair that has armrests. The receiving partner sits in the penetrating partner’s lap, perpendicular to penetrating partner, with their back against the armrest.
  • The penetrating partner kneels while the receiving partner lies on their back, ankles on each side of penetrating partner’s shoulders.

Standing

standing kamasutraMost of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal penetration. In the basic standing position, both partners stand facing each other. The following variations are possible:

  • In the basic standing position, both partners stand facing each other and engage in vaginal sex. In order to match heights, the shorter partner can, for instance, stand on a stair or wear high heels. It may be easier to maintain solid thrusts if the woman has her back to a wall. With such a support, the Kama Sutra calls this position the suspended congress.
    • Alternatively, the receiving partner can face away from the penetrating partner which allows for anal sex. This position is varied by having the receiving partner assume different semi-standing positions. For instance, they may bend at the waist, resting their hands or elbows on a table. Or they may put both hands and one foot on the floor and let the penetrating partner hold the remaining leg.[citation needed]
  • In this position, the penetrating partner stands. The receiving partner wraps their arms around his neck, and their legs around his waist, thereby exposing either the vagina or anus to the man’s penis. This position is made easier with the use of a solid object behind the receiver, as above. Use of a solid object also helps hold the receiving partner up. In this fashion, the position is called the suspended congress in the Kama Sutra.

Anal-specific positions

Most penetrative sex positions (see above) can be adapted anally, especially those that involve entry from behind. Other sexual practices involving the vagina, such as fingering, can also be adapted anally. However, some positions are not directly adaptable because of the different angles required for anal and vaginal entry. Here are listed positions that work well for anal sex.

  • Doggy style – see above. This position maximizes the depth of penetration, which may be desirable by either or both partners, but can pose the risk of pushing against the sigmoid colon. If the receiving partner is male, this increases the chances of stimulating the prostate. This position allows for vigorous thrusting. A variation is the leapfrog position, in which the receiving partner angles their torso downward. The receiving partner may also lie flat and face down, with the penetrating partner straddling their thighs.
  • Missionary – see above. In order to achieve optimal alignment, the receiving partner’s legs should be in the air with the knees drawn towards their chest. Some sort of support (such as a pillow) under the receiving partner’s hips can also be useful. The penetrating partner positions themselves between the receiving partner’s legs. This position is often cited as good for beginners, because it allows them to relax more fully than is usual in the “doggy” position.
  • Spoons – see above. This allows the receiving partner to greatly control initial entry and the depth, speed and force of subsequent thrusting.
  • Receiving partner on top – see above section. These are sometimes cited as a good beginning positions, as they allow the receptive partner more control over the depth, rhythm and speed of penetration. More specifically, the receptive partner can slowly push their anus down on the penetrator, allowing time for their muscles to relax.

Oral Sex - Hand And Mouth

One of the best ways to give oral sex is to also include your hands. Any porn actress will tell you that the following technique is a must when your mouth is tired, your gag reflex is getting triggered or he is well endowed and deep throating is a challenge.

Taking your hand, make a fist around the shaft of your lover’s penis with your little finger resting on his pubic bone. Then at the same time take your mouth and go up and down the head and upper shaft of his penis while you go up and down with your hand at the same time.

This gives the same sensation of you “deep throating” him (taking him deep into your throat). Adding different combinations with both hands, or your mouth make for creativity and fun!

Oral Sex - Deep Throat Or Not To Deep Throat

Often people think that someone highly skilled in the art of fellatio will not only deep throat, but will do it for the entire length of the blow job. Nothing could be further from the truth. Of course if you are comfortable with it then by all means deep throat him during the course of oral sex, but if you are not using other techniques with your tongue, lips, hands and fingers then you are probably giving a rather boring blow job.

The pleasure created through deep throating is created by the uvula pressing the frenulum and gulping reactions perfectly massaging the corona. Translation- it is a snug, warm, wet environment… a most pleasureful place for a penis. The average depth of our mouth cavity is 3 - 4 inches and the average penis size is 5 – 6 inches, thus you can see the difficulty in getting a full penis in your mouth and down your throat.

This leads us to the breathing issue. If you are deep throating your partner, then you are most likely cutting off your air supply for certain amounts of time. Learning to breathe through your nose or taking breaks by using your hands is a good way to maintain the pleasureful flow of stimulation to his penis.
