Does "scissoring" work?

My fellow lesbians,

I don't have any experience with "scissoring" but I've talked to a few of my friends who have tried it without it doing anything for them. I was wondering what other people's experiences with it are. Did it do anything for you? Does that position feel good with shared toys? Or is it a complete hetero-man-made myth?

I've tried it, and I wouldn't say it worked wonderfully, but it was definitely nice. Neither me nor my partner orgasmed from it, but it's a very sensual experience just feeling one another's business rubbing together. I enjoy it.

Like Rubenesque said, it wasn't enough for me to orgasm from but I would definitely say that it was very nice. But it requires more work than the average position and for both bodies to be size compatible.

there is the intimate feeling it can create, feeling yourself against each other. For the most part I think scissoring is for the sake of guys voyeurism. I find it more pleasurable to just lay on top and rub together that way. i'd prefer to feel each other touching there in an intimate position instead of a porn position.

It seems pretty interesting, I guess it depends on the person. For some people it may not work but I'd love to be close to someone like that. It's hot to me.

We didn't orgasm without the assistance of toys, but it did feel pretty nice. I found it best when we both had hair just long enough to be soft without being "bushy." It tickled slightly, in a good way. We still needed more stimulation than we got from it, though.

Thanks for the interesting opinions, everyone! Quite a number of diverse opinions.

Oddly enough I was having a conversation about this at lunch today with a good friend of mine and his wife, for me it worked ...ok...but I wasn't impressed or anything.

I'd rather just hump a leg.

I've never tried it, but it seems really awkward and not all that worth it. There are easier ways to get some friction!

We've tried, but without much success. It definitely takes some work to get into that position and make sure it's not hurting any of the joints. ^^' (We both have weak wrists, so putting a lot of weight on them does not work for very long.) I actually said to her, "I don't understand how this works: we need to go watch lesbian porn and figure this out!" XD I'm up for trying it a couple more times, to see if we can get anything out of it, but I agree with PassionQT: humping a leg is more fun. Lol.

Tried it and it is just not worth the effort. There are so many other ways to get a much bigger pay off

I read this and found it hilarious and enlightening on the scissoring subject. Effing Dykes is such the best.

It depends on a lot of factors. I was able to do it with one of my exes because she had a lot of loose skin and I could "move" things where they needed to be, and we could rub in a sort of Lotus position. I could do it with another ex because we were both fairly flexible, but the scissor position worked best. However, my current girlfriend isn't very flexible, so we cannot partake.

I have not tried to use toys with that.

If anything its vaginal stimulation, but I don't think it would be the best way to make me cum, or to interact intimately with my partner. Just thinking about that hurts my neck.

I've tried it out several times with my wife, and it sometimes works best with toys(we placed a vibrating wand between ourselves)but you will need lots of lube unless you are very flexible.
The way most females genitals are placed its very hard to press both of them together just so. Soft double ended dildos are great for scissoring though.

For my wife and I its more of just being placed in such a reviling position and being able to look at one another face to face while also being able to see one another body's completely. Its a great turn on to see where we join, the expressions and the rocking/grinding against one another.

I've never had the opportunity to scissor with a woman (and if my current relationship goes as I think and hope it will, I never will) but it looks to me as though it should work. I often wonder how nice it could be to use that position with my boyfriend. He has bad knees and a position that doesn't require them would make it so much easier for him, plus in agreement with maryjane239 up there, I think it could be incredibly sexy and intimate to look at each other's faces while still being able to see his entire body and the place our bodies join.

Thanks to this discussion, I think I will be asking him about this soon ^_^

It never worked when I tried it, but I think maybe with different body types it could.

I think this might be a myth too. haha.

It's too difficult to bother. There are so many other more useful positions.
