'''Double penetration''' (sometimes called '''DP''' for short) is a term that usually refers to a [[Sexual intercourse|vaginal]] and [[anal sex]] act involving one [[Human penis|penis]] penetrating a [[vagina]] while another penetrates the [[Human anus|anus]].

Double penetration can be carried out not only with penises, but also with different parts of the body (hands, fingers) or with specific [[sex toy]]s.<ref name="vice" /> 

The sexual act may be pleasurable for the female penetrated partner due to the "blended orgasms" from the stimulation of either or both the [[G-spot]] and the A-spot ([[anterior fornix]]) in the vagina with the anal nerve endings and the PS-spot ([[perineal sponge]]), which is situated inside the wall separating the anal and vaginal canals.<ref name="whi"/> 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]].<ref name=whi>{{cite web|url=https://www.womens-health.com/double-penetration |title=Everything You Want To Know About Double Penetration |publisher=Women's Health Interactive |access-date=2022-06-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240227105012/https://www.womens-health.com/double-penetration#why-do-people-like-dp |archive-date=2024-02-27}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:KamaSutra37.jpg|280px|thumb|Illustration of a woman being double penetrated in the 3rd century CE text [[Kama Sutra]].]]
Representations of double penetration have been depicted in many Roman erotic objects,<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Eger |first=Asa |date=2009 |title=Architectures of Desire and Queered Space in the Roman Bathhouse. |url=https://www.academia.edu/49035952 |journal=Que(e)rying Archaeology |pages=121}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite web |author= altaglamour.com |url= http://www.alta-glamour.com/cgi-bin/glam/30859.html |title= Nymphomania: Delphia - The Greek LB-7 |access-date= April 17, 2008 |archive-date= May 18, 2015 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150518072521/http://www.alta-glamour.com/cgi-bin/glam/30859.html |url-status= dead }}</ref>{{npsn|date=June 2022}}

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.<ref>{{cite book |last=Barton|first=Bernadette |author-link=|date=2021|title=The Pornification of America: How Raunch Culture Is Ruining Our Society |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hUciEAAAQBAJ|location= |publisher=NYU Press |page= <!-- or pages= --> |isbn=9781479894437}}</ref> Pornographic actor [[James Deen]] denies that double penetration is inherently "homosexual activity", even if two penises are in the same orifice, believing that the motivation of the male performer determines whether the act is homosexual or not.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gawker.com/straight-porn-superstar-james-deen-talks-gay-sex-onscr-979658995 |title=Straight Porn Superstar James Deen Talks Gay Sex, Onscreen and Off |date=2 August 2013 |publisher=Gawker.com |accessdate=October 1, 2022 |archive-date=1 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221001215459/https://www.gawker.com/straight-porn-superstar-james-deen-talks-gay-sex-onscr-979658995 |url-status=dead }}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/a44345960/sexplain-it-mfm-devils-threesome/ |title=Sexplain It: If I Enjoyed a Devil's Threesome, Does That Make Me Bisexual? |date=29 June 2023 |publisher=[[Men's Health]] |accessdate=November 25, 2023}}</ref>

== Spit-roast ==
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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/a39039407/spit-roast-sex-position/ |title=Spit-Roasting Isn't Just for Porn Stars.
