You’ll need a third person to complete the Eiffel Tower position.
It’s true Paris, where the Eiffel Tower resides conjures images of romance, sensuality and sex so it’s only really natural that the world-famous landmark has become its own sex position – and it can be achieved by straight and gay people alike, all you need is three of you.
In reality, the Eiffel Tower position is a moment, a snapshot if you will, that is created in a threesome scenario, more specifically in the spit roast sex position, but with one extra element.
We’re all very used to seeing and looking at the Eiffel Tower in 2D, from a side view. Like this, you see two sides, wide at the bottom and meeting at the top and a lower cross-section, which braces the two sides together. When translated into human bodies, this is a man at either end (Tops) of the receptive partner (Bottom) who can be either a man or woman with that person’s hole engaged with the two Tops’ penises. Put simply, one guy is getting intercourse the other is getting oral.
In order to make the pinnacle of the tower, the Tops basically, high five each other – creating a spire of sorts.
The great thing about the Eiffel Tower sex position is that everyone who is in the three-way gets to feel involved. Often, in a threesome situation, one person can feel left out of the action, however with this position, very much like the spitroast, is that everyone is getting something out of it.
The Eiffel Tower has gotten a little bit of a bad reputation over the years, because of its association with frat boys, but actually, it can be a lot more positive than that, explains Sexpert, Jack Devon. He tells us, “rather than high fiving the two tops could actually hold hands, or interlink their fingers, this will create a bond and a physical connection between the two men.
“Too often sex can become quite insular with guys just thinking about what’s happening right in front of them, this extra connection adds a little outside stimulus to bring you back in the room and engaged with everyone who is involved.”
Did you know that the Eiffel Tower isn’t the only landmark with a sex position named after it? There’s also London Bridge – however, you’ll need at least four of you to make that position work – we’ll let you work it out.
Hitmaker Elton John is one of the UK’s most successful singer-songwriters, he’s a national treasure, there’s no denying it. He’s got millions of fans all over the world selling millions of records and millions of tickets for his various world-tours. In fact, he holds the record of having the biggest selling single of any gay man in British history.
He’s won his legions of since the late 60s and has recorded albums and singles every decade since.
He first civilly partnered with his husband, David Furnish in 2005, and their partnership caused quite the stir, David Furnish was a relatively unknown filmmaker and marketing exec and their marriage certainly caused a few raised eyebrows, including from the UK’s tabloids, who ran a few rather unsavoury headlines about their marriage. However, the marriage has proven to be a massive success and the pair have even fathered two children together, along with the help of a surrogate mother.
David Furnish was born in 1962, while Sir Elton was born in 1947. The age gap is quite large, however not as large as some other gay celebrity couples, like Stephen Fry and Elliot Spencer.
David Furnish and Elton John actually met way back in 1993. David, who is originally from Canada, was just 30/31 years old, while Elton was 45-years-old. They met at a dinner party held at the singer’s lavish house. Elton John had recently stopped drinking and told a friend that he wanted to meet new people. He told Parade magazine in 2010, ‘Could you please rattle some new people together for dinner here Saturday?’ and the rest, as they say, is history.
David Furnish had just turned 43 years old when he married Elton, who was 58, nearly 59. The age gap between the two men is 15 years.
They were first civilly partnered in the UK back in 2005. They actually wed on the very day that civil partnerships were permitted. When marriage was legalised in England in 2013/14 the pair updated their civil partnership to a marriage.
Yes, Elton and David have two children. Their first child, son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, was born in December 2010 in California via surrogacy.
In January 2013, the couple’s second son, Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, was born through the same surrogate mother.
Actor and author Stephen Fry is a national treasure, there’s no disputing that. He’s won millions of fans all over the world, and this is apparent from his massive social media following, he’s actually one of the 15 most popular LGBT+ celebrities on Twitter.
He’s won his legions of fans from his days acting the comedy Black Adder to hosting the quiz show QI.
He married his husband, Elliot Spencer in 2015, however, a lot of people couldn’t help noticing that there was quite a large age gap between the two lovers. At the time of their marriage, the pair had been dating for around a year and had met in the summer of 2014.
Elliot Spencer was born in 1991 and is a budding standup comic as well as an excellent photographer, which is evidenced on his Twitter account.
Elliot Spencer was 27 when he married, while Stephen Fry was 57. The age gap between the two is reportedly 30 years and although the age gap between the two partners may seem large, it doesn’t mean that the relationship hasn’t been incredibly successful.
Addressing the age gap and other people’s disapproval of the relationship, Elliot hit out saying, “I don’t care what people think,” he said. “Stephen is the love of my life, the light of my life.
“We laugh all the time,” he continued. “Humour is the binding thing in our life. I think that’s what brought us together.
“It’s been incredible. We met at a house party three years ago after we were introduced by friends. The rest is history.”
Stephen Fry has made no secret of his sexuality and in a video he made for the charity Proud2Be he said, “[I’m] not proud because I think being gay is better than being anything else but I think it’s a wonderful thing to be in love and you follow your heart.
“Desire is wonderful and you follow whatever gland it is that controls your desire.”
He also added: “I would never apologise for being born the way I was and for feeling the way I do.”
