Scissoring Position

Updated: JUNE 29, 2021

Scissoring is a classic lesbian sex position in which partners intertwine legs, allowing them to rub their vulvas together or against their partners' stomach, thighs, and legs for pleasure. For people who prefer external stimulation or the pleasure of friction, this position has lots of options and can be a good fit.

Scissoring may also be referred to as tribadism or tribbing.

More About Scissoring Position

Although this position is often stereotyped as the main sexual practice for two lesbian partners, research shows that only about a third of lesbian women use this position. Although this is a non-penetrative position, some people choose to add a dildo or penetrative sex toy for internal stimulation. Other toys, like the Together Toy, add further options for this sex position.
