The Double Ride: threesome with penetration and oral sex
The Double Ride is a position for three people. B lies on her back on the bed with her legs open and bent. A kneels between her legs and penetrates her vaginally, face to face. C kneels beside B's head, and B turns her head to give C oral sex. A sets the pace. It is not demanding in terms of balance, but it calls for good communication: B's mouth is busy, so agree on signals beforehand.
Also known as: Threesome with penetration and oral sex
Anatomy and biomechanics
B lies on her back, her back and buttocks resting on the bed, legs open and knees bent. A kneels between her thighs, facing her, and can hold her thighs while penetrating; A sets the rhythm, and there is eye contact between A and B. C kneels at the side of the bed level with B's head, at right angles to the other two. B turns her head towards C to give oral sex, to the penis or the vulva depending on C's body. The load falls on A's and C's knees and on B's neck, which stays turned to one side; nobody's weight rests on anyone else.
Why this position works
Some people enjoy it because all three are involved at once in a simple, stable arrangement: B lies comfortably on her back, A has a familiar kneeling position, and C stays close to B's face. Nobody has to balance or carry weight. Roles can be swapped between rounds if your bodies allow it. How it feels, and how comfortable each person is in a threesome, varies a great deal.
Variations of this position
Variation 1: pillow under B's hips
A firm pillow under B's hips raises her pelvis a little, which changes the angle of penetration.
With her pelvis raised, A does not have to lean forward as far and the angle of entry changes slightly; some people find it more comfortable. B's upper body stays flat, so her head is still free to turn towards C.
- B lies on her back and places a firm pillow under her hips.
- A kneels between her legs and adjusts their height until penetration is comfortable.
- C kneels beside B's head.
- A moves slowly at first while B finds a comfortable angle for her neck.
Variation 2: B propped up on pillows
B reclines on several pillows instead of lying flat, so she can reach C without twisting her neck so much.
With her back raised on pillows, B is half sitting and C can kneel level with her chest instead of her head. Her neck turns less and she can use a hand on C's thigh for support. A keeps the same kneeling position between her legs.
- Stack two or three firm pillows against the headboard; B reclines on them, legs open and bent.
- A kneels between her legs, facing her.
- C kneels beside B, level with her chest, and moves closer to her face.
- B rests a hand on C's thigh and turns her head only as far as is comfortable.
Variation 3: B's legs on A's shoulders
B raises her legs and rests them on A's shoulders, which allows deeper penetration.
With her legs on A's shoulders, B's pelvis tilts up and penetration can go deeper. It asks more hip flexibility of B, and A should move more gently because the angle is less forgiving. B's head and neck stay as in the basic position.
- Start in the basic position, with A kneeling between B's legs.
- B raises her legs one at a time and rests her calves on A's shoulders.
- A holds her thighs and moves slowly, checking that the depth is comfortable.
- B can lower her legs at any time if her hips or the depth are uncomfortable.
✓ Tips
- Agree on limits and on a non-verbal stop signal beforehand, such as tapping C's leg: B's mouth is busy and she may not be able to speak.
- Use condoms and change them every time you switch partner or move from one orifice to another; use barriers for oral sex too, as infections pass more easily in a group.
- Use lubricant if needed, and A should keep the pace steady and gentle so B can carry on comfortably.
- Put a pillow under B's head and let C move closer so B does not have to strain or twist her neck too far.
- A and C kneel on the mattress or on a cushion rather than on a hard floor; stop if there is pain in the knees, neck or anywhere else.

Frequently asked questions
What bodies does this position need?
B needs a vulva and A a penis (or a strap-on). C can have any body: B gives oral sex to the penis or the vulva.
Can we switch roles?
Yes, between rounds and if your bodies allow it. Each switch means a new condom and, if you go from oral to penetration, a new barrier too.
How can B communicate if her mouth is busy?
Agree on a clear signal before you start, such as tapping C's leg or raising a hand, and stop as soon as anyone uses it.
Is it hard on the neck?
It can be if B has to twist far. A pillow under her head and C moving closer to her keep the neck in a comfortable position.
