A [threesome](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-have-a-threesome) can refer to any sexual activity that happens between three people. If you're used to engaging in sexual activity alone or with one partner, a threeway can take practice. What if one person feels left out? Is it okay to be the center of attention? Open communication—and great positions—are essential for a successful threesome. 
These threesome sex positions will help you and your partners get the most out of your session.

1. __Daisy chain__: The daisy chain is similar to the sixty-nine position but with three people. Each participant lies on their side, performing oral sex on one other partner. The daisy chain also leaves your hands free for fingering your partner’s genitals or stroking their other [erogenous zones](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/erogenous-zones-guide).
2. __Double cowgirl__: Start in the [cowgirl](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/cowgirl-position-explained) position, with one partner lying on their back and the second partner straddling them. The lying-down partner can penetrate or stimulate the straddling partner with a sex toy, finger, or penis. Then, add the third partner, who can ride the lying-down partner's face for some oral pleasure.
3. __Double penetration__: If at least one sexual partner has a vulva, a threesome can be a an opportunity to explore double penetration, or simultaneous vaginal and anal penetration. One way to execute double penetration is to have the person being penetrated kneel, while the other two partners configure themselves around them—one in front and one in back. You can use fingers, penises, [strap-on dildos](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/strap-on-dildos-explained), or vibrators. Remember to wash any toys or body parts used for anal sex before inserting them anywhere else.
4. __Group blowjob__: If someone with a penis is participating in the threesome, have them stand while the two other partners kneel to perform a [blow job](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-give-a-blow-job). One partner can play with the shaft while the other focuses on the balls, perineum, or anus. The partners performing oral sex can also masturbate or stimulate each other with their hands.
5. __The Eiffel Tower__: In this penetrative sex position, all three partners stand. One person bends over so they can be penetrated from behind, vaginally or anally, by the second person. The third person stands in front of the first person to receive oral sex. You can also try this position kneeling.
