Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is a slang term for a specific variation of the spitroast threesome position. In this configuration, one person is positioned between two others, receiving penetration from behind while performing oral sex on the person in front. The distinguishing element is that the two outer participants reach across the middle person and high-five each other or clasp hands above, creating a triangular shape that resembles the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The hand contact between the two outer participants adds a playful, collaborative element to the encounter. It symbolizes a shared experience and camaraderie between the two participants on either side. This gesture transforms the position from a purely physical arrangement into one that acknowledges the social and emotional connection between all parties involved.

The Eiffel Tower position can involve participants of any gender combination, though it is most commonly referenced in the context of MFM or MMF threesomes. The term has become widely recognized in popular culture and is frequently referenced in discussions about threesome positions, often with a humorous or lighthearted tone.

As with the spitroast position on which it is based, the Eiffel Tower requires attention to the comfort and physical limitations of all participants, particularly the person in the middle position. Communication about pacing, depth, and physical strain helps ensure a positive experience for everyone involved.

The term has achieved significant cultural recognition, particularly among younger demographics, and is frequently referenced in popular media, comedy, and informal discussions about sexual experiences. Its distinctive visual metaphor makes it one of the more memorable and widely known threesome position names.

The term 'Eiffel Tower' for this sexual position appears to have originated in American slang culture, gaining popularity through college and military culture in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The name derives from the visual resemblance between the position, with its triangular shape formed by the three bodies and raised arms, and the iconic Parisian monument.

The term gained widespread recognition through internet culture, where it became a commonly referenced piece of sexual slang. Its appearance in popular television shows, films, and online media further cemented its place in the cultural lexicon. The humorous and somewhat irreverent nature of the term reflects the playful approach that many people take to discussing sexual positions and experiences.

While the specific term is a product of modern slang, the sexual position it describes is simply a variation of multi-partner configurations that have existed throughout human sexual history. The naming of sexual positions with memorable, often humorous labels is a relatively modern practice, driven by the desire for shared vocabulary in online and social contexts.
