The position gets its name from a pig (or any animal) spit-roasting over a fire-poles going in and of both ends. “Spit-roasting describes a threesome where a receiving partner is being penetrated both orally and either anally or vaginally simultaneously,” says sex educator Kenneth Play, author of Beyond Satisfied. It is one of the most popular positions depicted in MFM, MMF, and MMM porn.
If you’re a fan of watching threesome porn where there are at least two dicks involved, you’ve likely come across this classic threesome position: the spit-roast. And those numbers maybe still be growing: According to Pornhub’s 2021 year-in-review, searches for “threesome” grew by 40% worldwide, becoming the sixth-most-popular search in the United States.
When Justin Lehmiller, Ph.D., a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute and member of the Men's Health advisory panel, interviewed 4,175 Americans about their sexual fantasies for his book Tell Me What You Want, he found that 89% of people had fantasized about having a threesome-making it the most common sexual fantasy. As the old saying goes, “Two’s company, three's a crowd.” But that’s not the case for the many, many people who like having threesomes, or at least have dreamed about bringing in (or being) a third.
