Scissoring refers to a sexual position or act commonly associated with female same-sex couples, specifically those involving vulva-to-vulva contact. In this context, scissoring involves two partners positioning themselves in a way that allows their legs to cross and intertwine with each other, forming a scissor-like shape. This allows their external genitalia to come into contact and creates a grinding or rubbing sensation that may produce sexual pleasure.
The term "scissoring" is often used colloquially to describe this sexual activity, which is one of the many ways sexual partners can engage in intimate contact. It is worth noting that sexual preferences and behaviors can vary widely among individuals, and not all female same-sex couples engage in or prefer scissoring.
Outside the realm of sexual activity, the word "scissoring" also has other definitions, most notably in the context of cutting or trimming with scissors. It refers to the act of using a pair of scissors to shear or separate materials, such as paper, fabric, or hair, by opening and closing the blades in a crossing or shearing motion. Scissoring is a commonly used technique in various crafts, fashion design, art, and hairstyling, where precise cutting or trimming is required.
