Scissoring

Also known as tribbingscissor positiongrinding legs

Scissoring is a position where partners interlace their legs and press together for mutual, non-penetrative genital contact — a favorite for grinding-style pleasure.

The gist

Partners face each other and interlock their legs so their bodies press together, creating mutual friction without penetration. Pace and pressure are easy to share and adjust, and it works beautifully for a wide range of bodies and pairings. A little lubricant and a comfortable surface go a long way.

Step by step

  1. Both partners lie facing each other and bring their hips close.

  2. Interlace your legs so your bodies press together comfortably.

  3. Find a shared grinding rhythm, adjusting pressure to taste.

  4. Use hands and eye contact to stay connected and communicate.

Tips

  • Pressure and angle are everything here — narrate what feels good so you can dial it in together.
  • A cushion or folded blanket under the hips can make the angle easier to hold.
