ScissorsSex Position
Legs intertwined in a V-shape.
In Scissors, the partners lie facing each other (or one slightly behind the other) with their legs intertwined in a V-shape so their hips meet closely. It is a popular position for couples with two vulva-owning partners, and it leans on gentle grinding and close contact rather than deep movement.
📋 How to do it
- 1Both partners lie on their sides or backs, facing each other and slightly offset.
- 2Slide one leg over and under the other's so the hips line up comfortably.
- 3Use arms and elbows to prop yourselves up so you can adjust the angle.
- 4Move with a gentle rocking or grinding motion and change speed together.
✨ Tips for comfort & connection
Experiment with how far apart the hips are and with the angle of the legs; small shifts change the sensation a lot. A pillow under the hips or back can help with positioning, and a toy between you is optional if you both enjoy that.
⚠️ Safety & comfort
It asks for some hip flexibility, so avoid forcing the legs into awkward angles. Stop if you feel strain in the hips, knees or lower back.
