Is double penetration safe?

Double penetration can refer to two different things. Two orifices can be penetrated at the same time with penises, toys, or fingers or one orifice can be penetrated by two penises or toys at once. Either act should be fairly safe as long as proper precautions are taken.

Penetrating either the vagina or anus with two objects simultaneously could cause your skin to tear if you are not used to anything so large. It may be a good idea to gradually work up to objects larger than a single penis or dildo beforehand. You could use a larger toy, a hand, or a combination of penis and small toy. Lubricant is also a good idea.

The friction generated when two condoms rub together is often enough to tear one or both of them, so two males wearing condoms can not penetrate the same orifice without compromising the effectiveness of the condoms.

As usual, if you decide not to use condoms, anyone who has been previously sexually active should be tested for STIs and any females involved should be on some other form of birth control. A sex toy used without a condom should be washed well with soap and hot water before and after use.

Simultaneous penetration of the anus and vagina may facilitate the entrance of bacteria from the anus into the vagina or urinary tract. If you do this, be sure to urinate soon after sex to wash out bacteria, something that is always good to do, and to be on the lookout for signs of infection.

And, for emotional safety, be aware that the wall between the vagina and rectum is thin. If one man is penetrating the anus and another is penetrating the vagina, they’ll be able to feel each other.
