I keep hearing it repeated in sapphic circles that scissoring is a myth; pretty sure it's not 😁

EDIT: I found these instructions helpful:

I literally thought scissoring was not a real thing people did until my girlfriend just climbed on top of me and started doing it. And then I ate my words and it was super super great, would recommend.

Positioning is key. It's not like anything you'll see in porn. The way we do it, person 1 lies down face up with her legs spread (like someone's about to eat you out) and person 2 positions her clit over 1's clit, usually positioned diagonally over 1 (IE with one leg on the outside of 1's leg, one leg between 1's legs). Then 2 moves her hips to rub her clit against 1's and 1 press her hips up into 2. But really any position where you can get your clits touching and neither of you are uncomfortable, you're probably going to have a good time.

Oh also, fun thing about scissoring, if you're a multiple orgasm kind of person (like me) scissoring is suuuper fun because the sensation is more subtle and you can just cum like, forever (idk about y'all but I can at least). Orgasm 1 usually isn't as intense for me but by the time I'm hitting orgasm 4 or 5, ohhhhhhhhmygd it's amazing.

Oh and this position is super fun with my girl's clit piercing, feels real great.
