What is scissoring?

Scissoring is a sexual position in which two people rub their genitals against each other for mutual stimulation. It is typically performed by two women, but can also be done by people of any gender. The term "scissoring" is derived from the physical position, which resembles the motion of two pairs of scissors opening and closing.

Scissoring can be a highly intimate and pleasurable experience for those involved, as it allows for close physical contact and the sharing of mutual pleasure. It can be done in various positions, such as lying down, sitting, or standing, and can involve the use of hands or sex toys for additional stimulation.

While scissoring is often portrayed in mainstream media as a common lesbian sexual activity, it is important to note that not all women engage in scissoring, and not all lesbians enjoy or prefer this sexual position. Like any sexual activity, communication, consent, and mutual pleasure are key factors in the practice of scissoring.
