How to Perform the Scissors Sexual Position

The scissors sexual position can be a very comfortable position for both the man and woman if they carefully adjust the placement of both partner’s legs.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Perform the Scissors Sex Position—Woman

1. Remove panties and any clothing covering your vagina.
2. Lay on your side with legs apart slightly.
3. Prop yourself up on one arm or lay flat on your side. You may also prop your waist up with a pillow under your side.
4. Adjust your legs so that your bottom leg is in between your partner’s legs and your top leg is draped over his side or held up.
5. Prepare yourself as your partner lays perpendicular to you and penetrates your vagina.
6. Use your fingers and hands to stimulate your clitoris or breasts or your partner’s scrotum, penis or anus.

7. Remove underwear to expose your erect penis.
8. Lay perpendicular to your partner on your side.
9. Position your legs in a “scissor-ed” fashion, with your bottom leg under her bottom leg, your upper leg between her legs. You should have a view of her buttocks and back and your legs should create a 45 degree angle toward her head.
10. Insert the penis into your partner’s vagina.
11. Allow your partner to adjust so you are not putting too much pressure on her lower leg and drape her upper leg around your waist. Then begin thrusting.
12. Caress, grab or slap your partner’s buttocks. Alternatively, you can stimulate her anus with your fingers.
