DP
Two spots filled at once, a fantasy that gets imagined often and rarely works without preparation.
What is dp?
DP (in full double penetration, Dutch dubbele penetratie) is simultaneous penetration in two spots at once, usually vaginal and anal. That can be with two people, with one partner plus a toy, or with two toys. The best-known form, vagina and anus together, is also called the sandwich.
| Dutch term | dubbele penetratie. In English it is double penetration, identical |
| Also known as | double penetration, sandwich |
| Variants | sandwich (vagina and anus), double vaginal and double anal penetration |
| How | with two penises, with a partner plus a sex toy, or with a double dildo |
| Main risk | going from anus to vagina carries gut bacteria along, and two condoms rub; so a fresh condom and plenty of lubricant |
| For whom | advanced ground, only with discussion and preparation |
How dp works in practice
With dp two openings are filled at once, and that calls for relaxation and plenty of lubricant. The health service of Columbia University points to one concrete risk: two condoms rubbing against each other create extra friction, which makes one tear sooner. A thicker silicone-based lubricant helps dampen that friction. If you go from anus to vagina, gut bacteria travels along, which is why the sexual health service of the NHS in Leeds advises reaching for a fresh condom in between.
Why people want dp, and what it costs
The pull sits partly in the full feeling of two sensations at once, and partly in the image behind it: being entirely the center of things. It is a much-imagined fantasy, and in porn the form shows up far more often than in bedrooms. What it costs is preparation. The anus does not make itself wet, so haste is the real mistake here, and for many people dp stays a hard limit that can happily stay on the shelf.
