This Boxing Day sandwich is saucy, satisfying and possibly a teensy bit messy... You may even go back for a second (or third) helping. Check out our new favourite tradition: a naughty festive threesome.
How?
Two lovers stack into a classic 69 – one on top, one underneath – aligned for mutual oral pleasure. The third lover kneels behind the top partner, ready to slide into them from behind.
From here, the kneeling partner can grab onto the upper partner’s hips while they thrust – or even deliver a satisfying slap to their butt. No third partner? No problem. Stick a suction-cup dildo on a wall or headboard and back up onto your imaginary third king.
Festive essentials for your threeway
Why?
Sometimes, more really is more. This position gives you oral, penetration, and a full-body show all at once – a stimulation sensation!
The top 69 partner gets a double-dose of pleasure while the bottom partner enjoys nonstop mouth-watering action. Meanwhile, the third lover gets VIP control, choosing everything from pounding rhythm to teasing little pulses.
There’s no way to get bored or feel left out here: All hands, mouths, and hips are busy in the best way possible. Plus, the visual? Outrageously hot. You’re basically starring in your own live-action erotic carousel – three angles, three sensations, one steaming loop of pleasure.
Make it even easier
It’ll be much easier for the third partner to get involved if the 69ers are easy to reach. Start by adding firm pillows under the bottom partner’s head, neck, and/or shoulders to ease the strain of oral. The top partner will need to support their own weight in their hands and knees, so whoever’s stronger should nab this spot.
If the third lover has limited knee mobility, place them on a stack of cushions, sturdy low stool, or padded ottoman so they can sit rather than kneel. You can also move this entire position to the floor to eliminate balancing issues – just grab a yoga mat (seriously) or blanket for a little extra padding.
Make it even better
Look out for smaller toys that you can slip between bodies without disrupting the flow. Bullet vibes can be used on any external erogenous zone, so try tracing one along your lover’s nipples, perineum, or clitoris. Wearable toys like love eggs can also bring a little hands-free buzz which feels incredible when combined with oral sex.
Wand vibrators are bigger, but easier to hold and more powerful, so prepare for some festive fireworks if you’ve got one of these at home. Try stroking the wand lightly along the lower partner’s inner thigh so they feel the tantalizing vibrations (so near and yet so far from their sweet spots). It turns the whole trio into a humming, moaning loop.
Expert advice: In a threesome, it’s even more important to keep your gadgets clean. Ideally, you’d all bring your own toys to the party or cover each one with a condom before you play – it may not sound sexy, but neither do STIs!
Make it even kinkier
Are you three kings, or three kinksters? Before sex begins, chat to your partners about their expectations for the session – including what sexy power dynamics they might like to explore.
You might decide that the giving partner is your Dom, wielding a riding crop from their powerful kneeling stance. Or maybe it’s the top 69er who’s in charge, and the rest of you are just pleasure slaves, bound to please.
Slip a collar and leash onto one partner, and soft but durable wrist cuffs on the other. Love to feel restricted? Volunteer to be the bottom of the 69, with your hands cuffed over your head; you’re just a helpless lust addict bound in your pleasure prison...
