87

The number "87" has come to be known as the gay "69." The homosexual community adopted the use of this number in the late 20th Century. It is believed the numbers 8 and 7 were chosen because they are the two numbers between 6 and 9. The reason the numbers were reversed is thought to be because the males who participate in this act will often reverse their positions.

The number has evolved to also be used as a descriptive for a young inexperienced homosexual male. As in, "He looks like a real 87."
