Bonjour! Looking for the ultimate threesome sex position? We’ve got you covered. Behold, the Eiffel Tower.
Originally a position that involved two men and a woman, over time, the Eiffel Tower has proven to be incredibly versatile, with customisations and simple variations making it workable for all combinations of body parts.
Want to take a trip to France without even leaving the bedroom? Scroll on for our guide to—and different ways to try—the Eiffel Tower sex position.
What Is the Eiffel Tower Sex Position?
The fundamental design of the Eiffel Tower resembles… exactly what it sounds like.
One person is on all fours in the centre, while one kneels upright in front of them and a third kneels behind. Typically, the person in the centre gives oral to the one kneeling in front of their face, while the third person penetrates them from behind. Meanwhile, the two individuals on their knees clasp hands over the person in the middle (traditionally, this part would involve two men who would literally hi-five over the central person, which… ick).
The position is much more inclusive than old-school pornos would have you believe, though. As long as the sex is consensual and safe—with threesomes, it is always advisable to clearly communicate boundaries beforehand—you and your partners, regardless of your/their genitals, can play around with making variations of the position work for you.
Different Ways To Do the Eiffel Tower Sex Position
There are several ways to do the Eiffel Tower sex position. Scroll on for three different variations to try.
The Classic Eiffel Tower
The classic Eiffel Tower involves one person on all fours in the centre, with two others kneeling to face them at their mouth and rear, respectively.
The central participant gives oral to the person kneeling in front of them, while being penetrated by the one behind.
The two kneelers can either use each other for stability by joining hands, or they can hold the waist, back or shoulders of the person in the middle. It is important to ensure the pleasure of the central figure is prioritised, too. If this is you, communicate your desires and turn-ons beforehand, as well as your boundaries.
No Penis, No Problem
You don’t need to involve a penis to try the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the position can work just as well with three vulvas.
The structure is similar to the classic Eiffel Tower, except that the participant kneeling behind the central person uses a strap-on sex toy. The other kneeler (ie. the one receiving oral) might want to pop a leg up, as if doing a slight lunge, to make it easier for the middleman to access their genitals.
If you’d like, feel free to “tag team” and swap roles/positions as desired.
The Collapsed Eiffel Tower
Why not turn the position on it’s side?
Yes, you can make the Eiffel Tower work while lying down. Instead of kneeling, all three of you simple roll onto your side, line up all the necessary bits and voila!
This is a great option if any participants are less mobile, injured, or simply tired.
