The Suspended ScissorsSex Position
Lifted and intertwined standing.
The Suspended Scissors is an advanced standing position in which one partner is lifted and held with their legs intertwined with the other partner's, in a scissor-like arrangement. It demands strength and balance and is best treated as a brief, athletic move.
📋 How to do it
- 1Stand close with the partner who will be lifted facing away from or toward the other, against a wall if possible.
- 2The standing partner lifts and supports the other's hips or thighs.
- 3Intertwine your legs in a scissor arrangement while keeping your balance and your back straight.
- 4Hold only briefly and lower down as soon as you feel strain.
✨ Tips for comfort & connection
Use a wall or sturdy support and keep it short. A low step can reduce the lift needed, and good communication about when to lower down matters more than staying up longer.
⚠️ Safety & comfort
This is a high-risk position for the back, knees and balance, and falls can hurt. Only try it if both partners are fit, on a stable, non-slip surface with support, and stop at the first sign of shaking.
💡 Tips
High strength needed.
✅ Benefits
The standing scissors combines intimate leg contact with an adventurous standing element. Unique sensation not found in floor positions.
🔄 Variations
Adjust the height of the hooked leg for different angles. Use a wall or furniture for balance support.
🎯 Best For
Those who enjoy the scissors position but want a more dynamic, standing version.
