Recursive penetration is when someone is being penetrated through an orifice that is currently inside someone else, such that in order to access it from "the outside", the "outer" must be penetrated to reach the "inner" one. In other words, the destination orifice is (at least) "one level down".
This usually only makes sense in vore, in cases where a prey is penetrated by someone outside (who is then also penetrating the pred to get there), but also works in cases like matryoshka_sex (where an unborn baby is penetrated through the mother's womb, via in_utero_penetration) or possibly some goo creature enveloping someone else. Needs clarification
The current definition does not specify whether or not this tag applies when the "inner orifice" is reached via non-euclidian means. I (@Fifteen) am currently really not sure of what direction the definition should take on this, but it should be addressed at some point. Related tags
