A recent study found that on the whole, threesomes tend to be very positive experiences for everyone involved - especially if two or more of the participants are romantic partners!
However, another study found that only 13% of their participants had experienced three-way sex, despite 64% of them being interested in the act. So - with so many people interested in giving it a go, and with threesomes typically being a good time, why are so few people actually taking part in them?
Among various others, we believe that one reason why there aren't a huge number of threesomes taking place is that people are simply so used to having two-person sex that they just don't know how to involve a third! This feeling of uncertainty compounds with any other doubts people may have about threesomes and results in the idea being totally rejected and forgotten about - which is a darn shame!
Though we totally understand the apprehensiveness (after all, threesomes are a large step to take, especially for committed couples), the truth is that threesomes can be an incredible experience, spicing up every participant's sex life to an intense degree, and even bringing couples closer together! As such, we've decided to shed some light on some of the best threesome sex positions to assist the wary in figuring out how to make three-way sex work for them.
We've made sure to include positions that can be accomplished by any configuration of participants regardless of what genitals are involved.
In this article, we'll go over some of the threesome positions out there, explaining how exactly to get into them, as well as detailing why exactly they're so amazing. Additionally, we've made sure to include positions that can be accomplished by any configuration of participants regardless of what genitals are involved - though some of them may require the use of a strap-on! Without further ado, here are what we consider the best threesome sex positions that anyone would be crazy not to try!

1. One Oral, One Penetrating
While many threesome sex positions necessitate that one partner gives more than they receive, the One Oral, One Penetrating (or Double Cowgirl) position lets everyone in on the pleasure!
To perform, all the giving partner needs to do is lie down on their back - we'd recommend doing this on a soft bed, but the floor or any other furniture will do as well.
All that's left is for one of the remaining partners to straddle the giver's hips, being penetrated by their penis or a strap-on, while the other remaining partner straddles the giver's face!
What makes this position great:
- This position is great for satisfying everyone involved in the threesome, as everyone is being stimulated at the same time thanks to the combination of oral and penetrative sex.
It's also super easy to perform and is perfect for any threesome where one partner has limited mobility - if this is the case for your threeway, ensure the giver is as comfortable as possible since they are being sat on twice over!
Additionally, this position facilitates numerous possibilities for sensual interactions between all the parties involved! While the giver is mostly fully occupied, the two receivers on top are free to kiss and provide each other with as much additional stimulation and pleasure as they can.
To increase the number of sensations, the two receivers can turn around to alter the angle of penetration. Periodically turning around is the best way to experience many different kinds of stimulation. We'd suggest trying out turning 90 degrees, as well as 180 degrees to make it Double Reverse Cowgirl!
2. One Oral, One Masturbating
If you're taking part in your first threesome, this position can be a great start before easing into some of the other more involved positions on this list. Regardless of your level of experience though, this one makes for some amazing three-way foreplay!
To perform, the two receiving partners simply have to stand up while the giving partner kneels down between them.
The giver can then start to perform oral sex on one of the receivers, and use their hands to pleasure the other! Make sure the giving partner has a cushion or pillow to kneel down on, as it can get uncomfortable to kneel on a hard surface for too long at a time.
What makes this position great:
- This position is extremely simple to perform, making it ideal for people who are beginners to threesomes, as well as making it perfect for foreplay.
If your threesome involves two participants who aren't interested in pleasuring each other for whatever reason, this position is a great choice!
In the event that the two receivers don't mind getting up close and personal, the giver can switch things up by attempting to take both of them in their mouth at the same time. It goes without saying really, but this position is also a fantastic choice if your threesome includes one or more participants who love to give blowjobs!
Of course, if they are into each other, the two receivers are in a great position to kiss and stimulate each other's other erogenous zones, such as their nipples, while the giver is going to town. If they can reach, this can extend to the giver as well, so they can also be on the receiving end of some stimulation.
It's also a brilliant position for you if your threesome involves someone who is more into the submissive side of roleplay or BDSM. Performing oral on two partners at the same time is one hell of a way to lean into the submissive role!
3. Doggy and Oral
This is another fantastic position where every participant is being stimulated at once! As the name suggests, this one is a perfect blend of the classic Doggy Style position, with the welcome addition of oral sex for the third person!
This is another fantastic position where every participant is being stimulated at once!
Here's how it's done: the first partner needs to lie down on their back on a soft bed, or a cushioned floor, while the second partner gets down on all fours and starts giving them oral sex. The third partner can now enter the second from behind, completing the position!
If you're the penetrating partner, don't get too carried away with the thrusting - the receiver still needs to be able to perform oral!
What makes this position great:
- Like the previous position, this one is great for beginners, as well as parties where two of the participants aren't really physically into each other.
Whoever is on the receiving end of the blowjob also gets an incredible view of the participant in the middle getting pounded doggy-style!
Furthermore, everyone involved gets to experience a good amount of stimulation. Doggy Style is an amazing position in its own right, partially due to how it allows for deep penetration, whether the giver is inside the vagina or the anus! This, along with the ease with which the giver has access to the receiver's genitals and erogenous zones, can make it much easier for them to climax.
As long as the second partner isn't being thrust too hard for them to concentrate, they'll be able to provide the first partner with a blowjob with all the trimmings! Since their hands are free, with enough balance they should be able to fondle their balls, as well as massaging their perineum and even their prostate if they're up for that!
4. Triple Missionary
The Missionary position is a classic sex position for couples as it's easy, allows lots of skin-to-skin contact, and it's also incredibly intimate. Luckily, there's a position that allows three participants to get in on all that intimacy - it's known as Triple Missionary!
First, two of the participants in your threesome need to start having sex facing each other in the usual Missionary style, with whoever is on top penetrating who is on the bottom.
The Missionary position is a classic sex position for couples as it's easy, allows lots of skin-to-skin contact, and it's also incredibly intimate.
After this, it's time for the remaining person to kneel behind the person on top, and penetrate them from behind. Think of it like a combination of two beloved sex positions - Missionary, and Doggy Style!
Make sure to employ some pillows or cushions so as to not put too much pressure on everyone's knees!
What makes this position great:
- This is a fantastic position as it's very intimate and allows lots of opportunities for extra stimulation.
The partner on the very bottom is in the ideal position to stimulate the erogenous zones of both the partner above them, as well as the partner on top of the whole thing!
Like many of the other positions on this list, introducing sex toys can make everything all the more pleasurable! Since the partner on the bottom is in such a good position to provide extra stimulation, why not give them a vibrator to use on either of the partners above them?
Depending on the genitals and sex toys of the participants involved, this position allows numerous different kinds of penetration all at once, with both strap-ons and penises. With the use of a strap-on, essentially anyone involved can get into any of the places on offer!
Be sure to try out the different possible combinations of penetration to find one that all three of you enjoy the best - you can also swap places mid-way to switch things up! There's really something for everyone here, as often you'll have the choice of both the vagina and the anus to enter.
5. Double Stuffing
Seeing the word "double" in the name of this position has probably made you think of one thing and one thing only - Double Penetration. This form of lovemaking is an insanely common sexual fantasy for people of every gender and sexual orientation, so of course we had to include it on this list!
Seeing the word "double" in the name of this position has probably made you think of one thing and one thing only - Double Penetration.
Getting into this threesome position requires a little planning, but it's pretty simple overall. To begin with, the first and second participants of your threesome need to get into the standard Cowgirl position. Once the receiver has lowered themselves down enough to be penetrated, the third participant can kneel behind them and enter them from behind!
If the person in the middle of this position - the receiver - has a vagina, it's easiest for the person they're straddling to penetrate that, while the remaining person enters their anus. If the receiver doesn't have a vagina, that's no problem at all - both givers can simply penetrate their butthole for some double-anal penetration. Make sure you use a generous helping of lube if you're attempting this!
What makes this position great:
- Double penetration is something many people fantasize about, and despite requiring some planning to ensure everything goes smoothly, it's not all that hard to accomplish once everybody is ready.
One reason it's great is that though at first, it may seem intimidating for the receiving partner - the middle person - they can actually be allowed to control the whole thing. As you're easing into the position, the middle partner should be allowed to make the first move to ensure they're being penetrated as fast and as deep as they're comfortable with!
The intensity of the position is also one of the best things about it, especially for the middle partner when everybody has found their rhythm. Even so, the two penetrating partners should still keep an eye on how hard they're going, and make sure the middle partner is comfortable at all times.
If this level of intensity still isn't enough, the partner on the bottom can use their free hands to give the middle partner even further stimulation by playing with their erogenous zones, or even their genitals!
6. Penetrative Train
This position is quite similar to the Doggy and Oral position that we already covered, but this time the majority of participants are being penetrated by whoever is behind them - hence the name, penetrative train!
Getting into this position really couldn't be much easier! To start with, the first two participants need to start having sex in the Doggy Style position we all know and love.
Once they're all set up, the final participant can get down onto their hands and knees and back up until the doggy-receiver is able to give them oral!
Depending on your setup of threeway participants, you can choose to go with either regular oral sex or rimming if that's what you desire! If your final participant has a penis, it might be a little awkward to give them a blow job from behind, but they can always lie on their back. This also applies to the first two participants - you can choose between either vaginal or anal sex!
What makes this position great:
- This is a great position because it's nice and easy and provides a mixture of pleasure for everyone.
We've already gone into the benefits of doggy-style, but we'll quickly reiterate: the way it allows for deep penetration regardless of which hole you enter, combined with the way the giver has easy access to the receiver's genitals and other erogenous zones can make it seriously orgasmic for everyone involved.
It's also another position that might be a good choice if, for whatever reason, two of the participants involved don't want to interact with each other all that much - for instance, if the partners doing it doggy-style are a couple, and the partner receiving oral is the third person. Here, the person in the middle knows their partner is focused on pleasuring them, but still has a great view of the third person being pleasured!
Of course, there are many configurations where this isn't the case at all, and everyone involved is into and keen to pleasure everyone else! If this is the case with your threeway, make sure to switch around everybody's place every now and then to experience the whole range of pleasure this position has to offer!
While the person in the middle of the train may need to use their hands to steady themselves as they're taking it doggy-style, they still have the option of playing with and stimulating the partner they're eating out's erogenous zones, just as the partner behind them can do to them.
7. Double Oral Sex
Here we have a three-way sex position that's a twist on another classic: the infamous 69. Except for this time, it's a 69 plus one! Much like the original, this is a super hot position - but you may need to switch around the configuration of participants every now and again, as not everyone is receiving pleasure at the same time. Luckily, this is a rather straightforward position to get into, so you won't have any trouble shifting around!
Here we have a three-way sex position that's a twist on another classic: the infamous 69.
Have the first participant lie down on their back, while the second lies over them in the classic 69 position and starts going down on them. However, unlike the traditional 69, the first participant doesn't return the favor; instead, the third participant straddles their face, and gets to receive oral sex in their place! As we mentioned earlier, make sure to swap everyone's position a couple of times so everyone gets their turn.
If the second participant is able to comfortably rest on their knees without laying flat on their stomach on top of the first, it might be possible for either of the other participants to use their free hands to stimulate their genitals, meaning everyone can get in on the pleasure. This does mean they'll have to work without being able to see what they're doing, but it certainly is possible, and means no one is left out!
What makes this position great:
- This position is an intimate and exciting twist on a notorious, classic sex position and fantasy.
As it works so well in so many configurations, this is one of the best positions for rotating every participant through each place to experience every last drop of pleasure.
The fact that one of the participants isn't being stimulated while another doesn't even have to do any work themselves only emphasizes the importance of this rotation - if someone's running out of steam while giving head, simply switch places and they can relax while being solely on the receiving end!
Moreover, this position works super well in so many different configurations of participants. The only real exception is that some people may not be able to bend their penis down far enough to receive a proper blowjob if they're sitting on the giver's face - but in this case, the giver can always go to town on their balls, or even give them a rimjob if they turn around.
While in the standard configuration, as we already mentioned, one of the participants isn't receiving any stimulation and is just assuming the role of the giver, that doesn't mean you can put a spin on the position to change this fact. The participant on the bottom of the position should have their hands free most of the time - so why not spice things up by giving them a vibrator to use on the aforementioned generous giver? Let your imagination go wild; if you think something will be pleasurable, go for it!

Summary
