When we recently researched the most popular sex positions in the United States and found that the infamous Eiffel Tower sex position came in fourth place. What’s interesting about the data is that this sex position is the only one on the list that requires three (or more) partners.
A desire for a threesome or group sex is more common than one might think. When social psychologist Dr. Justin Lehmiller surveyed over 4,000 Americans about their sexual fantasies, he found that “multipartnered sex” was the most common sexual fantasy.
So, whether you want to spice up your sexual fantasies, or you are ready to explore the world of threesomes, let’s talk about the Eiffel Tower sex position.
Eiffel Tower Sex Position: What Is It and How To Do It
What Is the Eiffel Tower Sex Position?
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most popular sex positions for threesomes. The interesting name comes from the shape the participants create when they are in this sex position – it resembles the architectural structure of the iconic Eiffel Tower. And just like the Eiffel Tower, this position offers great views.
Eiffel Tower or Spit Roast?
There is another threesome sex position, Spit Roast, that is similar to the Eiffel Tower sex position, but with a twist. When partners are in the Eiffel Tower sex position, two of the partners are supposed to hold hands at the top, which gives the resemblance to the French cultural phenomenon.
In the Spit Roast sex position, partners are positioned similarly to how they are in the Eiffel Tower sex position, but without hand-to-hand contact. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether you hold hands or not, and whether you call it the Eiffel Tower or the Spit Roast, as long as all parties involved are having a good time.
Why Is the Eiffel Tower Sex Position Hot?
First of all, it is one of the most convenient sex positions for threesomes. It allows for all three people to be involved with each other and explore pleasure at the same time. It alows for eye-contact, oral sex, and penetration while leaving room to get creative (tips below).
Second is the visual stimulation component. The partners on both ends get a pretty great view of each other and the middle partner, which can be a huge turn-on for those who enjoy visual stimulation.
Also, the Eiffel Tower sex position could include a powerplay aspect if that’s what the partners are into. The penetrative partners on each side can take on the roles of dominating the middle partner who is physically between them. If the middle partner enjoys submitting, then it might be a turn-on for them – to be used and enjoyed for pleasure while surrendering to their partners.
Lastly, the Eiffel Tower sex position could be phenomenal for mutual pleasure and sharing orgasms. While an orgasm is not the goal of sex (pleasure is), it can be an arousing and satisfying experience to have an orgasm at the same time as your partners. Because the Eiffel Tower allows for all partners involved to be stimulated at the same time, the chances of sharing an orgasm are higher.
How To Do the Eiffel Tower Sex Position
In the classic Eiffel Tower position, the receiving or middle partner gets on all fours on a bed or another comfortable surface like they would in a Doggystyle sex position.
The first giving or penetrating partner takes the position from behind, penetrating the middle partner, and the second penetrative partner stands in front of the middle partner, receiving oral sex. The cherry on top: both penetrative partners raise their hands and high-five each other above the middle partner.
It’s a relatively easy position for all partners because it doesn’t require much flexibility or strength. Now, let’s discuss some best Eiffel Tower sex position tips and variations to make the experience even better for all parties involved.
Room for Four
While the Eiffel Tower is a threesome sex position, you can add more people to the mix. The fourth partner can join the middle partner, by laying down on their back underneath the middle partner, in a way they would during a 69.
Use Your Favorite Toy
The Eiffel Tower sex position is ideal for using your favorite sex toy. The middle partner can easily hold their favorite vibrator against their clitoris, or use a masturbation sleeve for extra penis stimulation. And if you want to make this sex position more intimate, or involve powerplay, the penetrating partner on the rear end can control the toy.
Embrace the Variations
The up-side-down Eiffel Tower is good for those with knee problems. In this variation, the middle partner is not on their knees, but on their back while the penetrative partners remain on both ends.
It gives great visuals for the penetrating partners, might give a better angle for oral sex for the middle partner, and plenty of access to stimulate the middle partner’s intimate areas. Plus, the middle partner can have their hands free to have better control of how deep they go during oral sex.
You can also try a standing version of the Eiffel Tower. Instead of kneeling, the middle partner stands on their feet and leans down at their waist. The penetrative partners stand on each end, and the middle partner can put their hands on the hips of the penetrative partner in front of them for more comfort and stability.
Don’t shy away from using furniture to help you out in this position. If you have a desk, table, or chair that is the right height, the middle partner can lay down on their stomach, or even their back instead of standing or kneeling, and the penetrative partners can stand or kneel on both sides.
Penetration Heaven
Most people think that the Eiffel Tower is solely for M-F-M threesomes, but it is a versatile position that works for a variety of people and many forms of penetration.
The penetrative partner at the rear end can penetrate the middle partner either vaginally or anally using their penis, a strap-on, or even their fingers. You might even add a butt plug into the mix if you want the sensation of double penetration. You get to choose what feels best.
The Possible Pitfalls of the Eiffel Tower
One of the issues you might encounter with the Eiffel Tower sex position is aligning comfortably with partners of varying height difference. If this is the case, you might want to try different locations (ex: one partner stands on the floor, and the middle partner is on the edge of the bed) or simply add pillows to help elevate and get comfortable.
The Eiffel Tower position can also be intense on the knees. So, if you or your partners are having issues staying on your knees for an extended period of time, you might want to try the standing version of the Eiffel Tower or add some pillows or blankets under you to make it easier on the knees.
