What is Scissoring?

Scissoring, at its essence, is a celebration of intimacy and connection between partners with vulvas. As two individuals lie on their sides, facing each other, they intertwine their legs, allowing their vulvas to meet and rub together in a harmonious dance of pleasure. The act resembles two open scissors pressing against each other, thus earning its name. It's a sensual and empowering expression of desire, enabling partners to explore their bodies and desires in a deeply intimate setting.

Benefits of Scissoring

Scissoring offers numerous benefits for partners, including:

  • Promotion of eye contact for increased intimacy and connection

  • Pleasure for two clitorises simultaneously
  • Possibility for modification to incorporate dual penetration with a dual-sided dildo

Scissoring Sex Position – Where Sparks (and Legs) Fly

Let’s talk about the legendary scissoring position—yes, the one that’s got a whole genre of erotica dedicated to it. For many lesbian couples, scissoring isn’t just a sexy visual—it’s a deeply connective, ultra-intimate position that blends sensual friction with synchronized movement. When done right, it’s like your bodies are speaking their own electric language, one moan at a time.

This position brings clit-to-clit contact front and center, letting both partners experience pleasure simultaneously in a raw, body-to-body way that’s hard to match. It's not just about stimulation—it’s about feeling your partner’s rhythm, warmth, and pulse in real time. It can be playful, intense, or deeply passionate, depending on how you move and vibe together.

Sure, it might take a bit of experimenting to find the right angle (and maybe a good yoga stretch or two), but once you sync up? Oof. That orgasmic payoff can be absolutely mind-blowing—not to mention emotionally bonding. It’s the kind of sex that feels less like a performance and more like a shared secret.

So, take your time, adjust, laugh a little if legs get tangled—then get back to chasing that bliss together. 

How Does Scissoring Work?

Before engaging in scissoring, it's crucial to communicate with your partner to ensure mutual understanding, consent, and comfort levels. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating an unforgettable scissoring session:

Preparation

Begin by engaging in open and honest communication with your partner. Discuss your desires, boundaries, and comfort levels to ensure a mutually satisfying experience. Prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically for the intimate encounter.

Sexual Positioning

Find a comfortable space, such as a bed or a soft surface, where you and your partner can lie down facing each other. Get into a side-by-side position, ensuring that your bodies are aligned and your faces are within kissing distance.

Vulva Meeting

As you intertwine your legs, allow your vulvas to meet and rub together gently. Experiment with different leg positions and angles to find what feels most pleasurable for both partners. Use water-based lubricant to enhance comfort and reduce friction.

Grinding

Once in position, begin to move your bodies in a rhythmic motion, grinding your vulvas together with increasing intensity. Focus on syncing your movements with your partner's to create a harmonious rhythm of pleasure. Explore different speeds, pressures, and angles to find what brings you both to the height of ecstasy.

Scissoring Sex Positions to Try

Twist and Slide

Put a playful spin on traditional scissoring by having one partner face the opposite end of the bed, creating an enticing twist in your intimate encounter. Then slide in offers a variation where one partner slightly adjusts their sexual positioning to create a new angle of contact, adding variety and excitement to your scissoring repertoire.
