Double penetration
Double penetration (sometimes called DP for short) is a term that usually refers to a vaginal and anal sex act involving one penis penetrating a vagina while another penetrates the anus. It could also refer to the simultaneous penetration of either a vagina or an anus by two penises or objects.[1]
Practice[edit]
Double penetration usually involves the insertion and thrusting of two erect penises into a woman's vagina and anus simultaneously.[1] It is a common practice in pornography.[2][3] The term can also describe the insertion and thrusting of two erect penises into a single vagina or anus.[1] This is known as double vaginal penetration (DVP) and double anal penetration (DAP) respectively.
Double penetration can be carried out not only with penises, but also with different parts of the body (hands, fingers) or with specific sex toys.[1]
The sexual act may be pleasurable for the penetrated partner due to the simultaneous stimulation of the G-spot and the anterior fornix, or the prostate. The penetrating partners may derive pleasure from the tightness of the vagina and/or anus, as well as from their penises rubbing together either in the same orifice or through the lining of the rectovaginal fascia.[4]
History[edit]
Representations of double penetration have been depicted in many Roman erotic objects,[5] as well as in the Kama Sutra. The first filmed double penetration in history appeared in 1970, in the movie "Delphia the Greek", by director Lasse Braun.[6][non-primary source needed]
The feminist Bernadette Barton has argued that double penetration, because it usually involves two men's penises close together or directly touching, is an "unusually homoerotic" act in an otherwise homophobic culture. Barton also thinks double penetration is "bizarre" and "body punishing" because it can stretch a woman's orifices to their physical limit.[7] Bisexual author Zachary Zane writes that double penetration is not inherently bisexual, but may become bisexual if the men choose to interact sexually, saying that queer men doubly penetrating a woman may be a "completely different experience" than straight men doing so.[8]
Gail Dines believes double penetration is an extreme act that was "almost non-existent" before the 2010s, but has now become one of the most popular types of pornography, a shift she attributes to misogyny.[9]
Spit-roast[edit]
The spit-roast is a variation of double penetration, whereby a person is penetrated in the rear by one penis (either in the vagina or anus) and performs oral sex on another penis. This sexual act combines both the doggy style position with fellatio; the "spit-roast" is frequently depicted within pornography, but some do not consider it a form of double penetration.[10]
