Scissor Sex Position

The scissor sex position allows the penis or a dildo to be put into the vagina or anus by achieving penetration through the intercrossing of legs.

The penetrating partner must lie on their side to enter this sex position. The receiving partner lies on their back at a 90-degree angle to the penetrating partner. The closest leg of the receiving partner can then glide underneath the penetrating partner's raised top leg. You should be able to locate adequate proximity for penetration with your bodies entwined.

Every pair will have a different body angle and placement that allows penetration. We advise experimenting with the precise fit to determine what suits you best after you've mastered the fundamentals of entering the scissor position.

More About Scissor Sex Position

The Scissor sex position is a terrific way to switch up your usual sex positions without feeling like you're going to the gym. It involves body partners lying down and just interweaving their legs. You may both do it from the convenience of lying down; however, it can take some time to determine which leg positions offer the optimum penetration angles. As an experimental position to discover new things about each other's bodies and pleasure, this provides the Scissor position a great deal of flexibility.

However, deep, powerful thrusts may be challenging in this reclining position. Most couples prefer to lean into mild thrusts or grinding actions to avoid friction from the surface below.

However, if you're a big fan of the Scissor position and want to move a lot, a massage gel and a Nuru mat can provide the slick, frictionless experience you require.

Modifying the Scissor Sex Position

Despite being relatively simple to do, the scissors sex position can cause some discomfort for both individuals, particularly those with smaller thighs. When the legs entwine, it can be pretty painful to feel the pressure of bone on bone.

To help alleviate some of these concerns:

Experiment with new leg positions

The precise limb interweaving is irrelevant as long as penetration is possible. You can lessen the discomfort of your body being squeezed together by spreading your limbs farther apart or pulling them closer to your chest.

Consider wearing plushy clothing.

If you're experiencing discomfort from bone-on-bone pressure, think about dressing in something that won't interfere with your sexual activity. This is a fantastic reason to remove your thigh-high socks or start tearing or cutting clothes that you were too distraught to give away otherwise.

Try new movements

A grinding movement can feel great in this posture, but in-and-out thrusting may be unpleasant. See if some movements think better than others by experimenting with different kinds!

Take penetration out of the equation.

Try switching from the scissor sex position to a mutual masturbation position if getting hip-on-hip is contributing to the discomfort. Without having to cope with the painful spots, you two can enjoy the entwined legs and some pleasure!

Add Some Sex Furniture

To get into the proper position for penetration, the receiving partner may wind up twisted while the penetrating partner rests on their side. If so, this can put a lot of strain on the back, particularly if you intend to remain in the scissor sex position for an extended period.

To lessen back pain, think about placing pillows underneath the receiver's back or employing sex furniture wedges. One excellent approach to providing support without changing the position after you're both in it is to let the receiver lie on a stack of cushions before you begin.

The Scissor sex position might not be suitable for every couple, despite these adjustments. Keep in mind that having sex is about pleasure and connection; if the Scissor sex position is detracting from that, it might not be the best position for you.

Fortunately, there are hundreds of different sex positions that can better respect your current body, so try one of those instead.
