Doubly Penetrating Question

This is a short one, but still worth answering.  It came up in conversation and seemed like the perfect thing to talk about briefly.

"Which style of DP do you prefer: face-up or face-down?" -Sveta

I shouldn't neglect to mention that there are really more than two options in that regard.  In fact, I was discussing with someone else my strange and possibly unhealthy desire to attempt DP upside down; that is, standing on my head with the two guys standing above me.  And of course, one doesn't have to be that crazy to attempt standing DP, which can be quite nice if you can swing it.  Finding the suitable pair of guys is essential in either of those situations.  And even if you're all lying down, there are a number of different variables; you could reverse cowgirl on the one guy while the other guy straddles him and fucks your ass, or you could try the same thing with the bottom guy in your ass, or you could attempt the double doggie, where both guys are behind you, one slightly lower (as illustrated in this gallery).  [EDIT] There's also the possibility of double spooning, basically DP on its side, which I would imagine would provide a way for both men to take a fairly active role, but I've been unable to locate any pictures or video of it, so maybe it's more complicated than it seems or maybe it's just not terribly photogenic as a position.  I can't find any upside down DP pictures either, actually.

But the practical woman sticks with the two basics, I'm afraid, and it is to those two basics that we shall refer: face-up meaning sitting on the one guy with his cock in your ass while the other guy fucks you sort-of-missionary (fig. 1); face-down meaning cowgirl on the bottom guy while the top guy fucks you in the ass from behind (fig. 2).  Because I love visual aids:

Face-Up (Figure 1):

Face-Down (Figure 2):

Both images from this nice gallery of photos.

Having hopefully not bored you quite to death (oh who am I kidding; those photos should wake you up) I shall proceed with the answer to this question, which is hopefully complicated enough to warrant all the exposition.

It depends.

Okay, there you go.

No, only kidding.  It does depend, but there's more to it than that.  For sheer comfort, I'd have to say that nine times out of ten face-down is the way to go, simply because it's less awkward.  Most of my DP has been in this position.  It just seems the least complicated.

If the guy who's looking to do me in the ass is enormous or I know he's rough with anal, I prefer face-up simply because the anal is less of a driver than the vaginal in that position.  I don't mind sitting and squirming on a big cock while having my pussy fucked well.

If we're going to switch off and the guys might switch around, I like to start out face-up and then, when I'm tired, retreat to the easier face-down.  I can lie on the bottom's chest and just let them go to it.  This is also why I usually prefer face-down when my Dad is involved; he's not going to switch, but his stamina means that he's likely to finish last, which means he won't be trapped under me while someone else goes at me from above.

But in terms of my favorite, all other things being equal, I'd have to say I actually prefer face-up.  It's more awkward and less typical, but it's still more fun to me.  That may be because I get it almost never (DP isn't exactly on the menu every day for me, and the vast proportion of what I do get is face-down.  But I enjoy missionary, and I'm not as fond of cowgirl, so that's probably part of it too.  It's more like lying on someone and being fucked missionary than anything else.  I've actually enjoyed sticking a toy in my ass and then being fucked missionary; it duplicates some of the sensations.  But I also like lying back against another body while I look into the top's eyes.  The bottom can do various fun things with his hands too.

So I guess that answers that.  It's not like I turn down any DP (I don't) but I do occasionally enjoy some face-up.  I still want to try upside down though.  And some day I might work up the guts to attempt double vaginal, although double anal is probably out of the question, at least until I get old and incontinent and then who'd want to do it to me?

What the hell, we're calling this one a Porn of the Day too.  Here's some more DP galleries:

• 1 and 2, because I almost used pictures from these as illustrations.
• This one, which gets really close to upside down but chokes in the clutch.
• This one, for a decent example of both standing and double doggie.
• 1 and 2, because there's nothing that improves DP like having a cunt to lick while getting it.
• Here's another I could easily have used.

And for good measure, just to DP the place up completely, some videos:

• An adorable girl getting the business end of two cocks, possibly my favorite of the bunch.
• Then there are a few (Liana, Coral, and Genesis) all of which seem like the same series.  Genesis seems like she's going to split in two she's so tiny, but she takes cock in the ass like a pro, which she undoubtedly is.
• Here's one featuring a pool, and while the echoing sounds of fake enjoyment do get a bit annoying after a while, it was worth including because the girl is very attractive in her pink bikini.
• And last, one which I think is German that I enjoy partially because it's just so business-like.  I have no idea what they're saying, but everyone seems pretty laid back about it, like they all got together to shoot a video with DP and have a bit of fun doing it.  It's not particularly passionate, it's just sex.  Nothing wrong with that.

Okay, enough.  I could go trolling for porn all day if I let myself.  If anyone has any questions, or suggestions on DP positions I forgot, or even pointers on how to make upside down DP enjoyable, I'll take them.

[EDIT AGAIN] I would just like to point out that porn isn't real.  DP is, but it seldom happens the way it does in porn.  Be safe, kids, and don't base your expectations of life on the movies.  DP in real life is way better than in porn anyway.
