The Scissors

This week's position is one for the ladies! 'Scissoring', also known as 'tribbing' has gotten a bad rap as being something that only exists in porn and that no WLW (woman-loving woman) would ever actually do, but that's a separate can of worms we're not here to open. If you like the feeling of rubbing your vulva and clitoris, it makes sense that rubbing them against someone else's vulva and clitoris would also feel fabulous, and it's as simple as that.

How to perform the Scissors sex position

Start with one partner on their back and another sitting straight up, leaning back on their hands with both your pelvises aligned. The partner on their back then raises one of their legs onto their lover's shoulders and positions the other one on the outside of both people's bodies. The partner sitting up positions their legs on either side of the one on their shoulder, with their ankles on either side of their lover's arms. Scooch closer if needed, then grind away!

Why we love the Scissors sex position

There's something oh-so-sensual about both partners' soft folds caressing each other as you press your bodies together. There's also room for some hands-on action, either with one or both hands each depending on how far forward you're both comfortable with leaning. The partner siting back can also tease and please their lover's leg, which is a seriously underrated erogenous zone. From stroking the underside of the knee to peppering delicate kisses up the calf, there's a lot you can do with a leg in the heat of the moment...

Since this position involves a lot of friction, a long-lasting lubricant is an absolute must. Sexyland's customers love this hybrid lubricant from Wicked's® Simply range, which uses natural ingredients to nourish skin in a simple and clean recipe that won't irritate sensitive skin or upset the vagina's pH balance. It combines the long-lasting slickness of silicone-based lubricant with the ease of cleaning of water-based lubricant so you can get the best of both worlds!
