To be politically correct I don’t call it “Indian leg wrestling” anymore; I use the more accurate scissoring.


Scissoring is oftentimes considered a novelty, something vulva-owners try for the hell of it. There's even lesbian fan fiction about scissoring...


Sophie Saint Thomas, Refinery29 , March, 2017

What is it with straight people, especially straight men, and scissoring? Among the many sexual acts that queer women perform with each other, this one seems, at least in our experience, to be the one that fascinates them the most.

or lesbian scissoring
[lez-bee- uh n siz -er-ing]

Lesbian scissoring is when two women stimulate each other by interlocking their legs and pressing their genitalia together. A great core workout … or a way to get kicked in the head during sex.
The earliest known pair of scissors are 3,000–4,000 years old, dating back to Ancient Mesopotamia. But, we know that’s not why you’re here.
A more academic term for lesbian scissoring , or simply scissoring , is tribadism , shortened to tribbing and documented in the 1800s. It encompasses all forms of genital contact between women … while scissoring specifically refers to a sex position that resembles two pairs of scissors attempting sex, hence the name.
Any movement that looks like the actions of scissors (e.g., kicking one’s legs while swimming) has been called scissoring since the early 1900s, but the sex slang emerges in internet porn and Usenet groups in the 1990s.
The term was popularized by the electroclash band, The Scissor Sisters, who formed in the gay club scene in 2001 in New York City. Scissoring further spread into the mainstream thanks to prominent references on popular TV shows like Glee and South Park. A 2007 episode of South Park featured a scissoring scene with a character, Mr. Garrison, in a bra and lipstick shouting “Scissor me timbers.”
Many people in the lesbian community are adamant that scissoring is #notathing because it’s uncomfortable, difficult, and, well, ineffective. Instead, they maintain scissoring was invented by straight people who can’t understand how two women could possibly have sex. In fact, the hand signal for scissoring , a peace sign inserted into another peace sign and wiggled around, is a gesture used to mock lesbians and lesbian sex.
However, a 2015 Autostraddle poll found that over 40% of the respondents regularly scissor , as its verb form so goes. In 2017, Mal Harrison, sexologist and director of the Center for Erotic Intelligence, told Refinery29 : “Fifteen years ago, scissoring just wasn’t something commonly discussed in lesbian circles, nor amongst my lesbian and bisexual clients.” She attributes this new trend to the popularity of scissoring in straight porn.
While some queer women do privately engage in scissoring , the term (and act) is associated with straight men viewing lesbian porn, where the word is a fairly common tag and subgenre.
Are those scissors scissoring or am I tribbin? https://t.co/CpH1KWcyRj

As the South Park gag and hand gesture show, scissoring is occasionally the butt of jokes about lesbians—sometimes made by lesbians themselves.
When you cum first from scissoring so you just lay there waiting for your girl to get her nut off so she can stop destroying your vagina with her thrusts/grinds….I really be having to close my eyes and find my happy place

Tribadism ( / ˈ t r ɪ b ə d ɪ z əm / TRIB -ə-diz-əm ) [1] or tribbing , commonly known by its scissoring position, is a lesbian sexual practice in which a woman rubs her vulva against her partner's body for sexual stimulation, especially for stimulation of the clitoris . [2] [3] [4] This may involve vulva-to-vulva contact or rubbing the vulva against the partner's thigh, stomach, buttocks, arm, or other body part (excluding the mouth). [2] [3] [4] A variety of sex positions are practiced, including the missionary position . [4] [5]

The term tribadism originally encompassed societal beliefs about women's capability of being penetrative sexual partners. [6] [7] [8] Women accused of having been penetrative during sexual activity were subject to ridicule or punishment. [6] [8] [9] In modern times, the term typically refers to various forms of non-penetrative sex between women. It may also involve vaginal penetration by use of the fingers , a dildo or double penetration dildo . [2] [8]

The term tribadism derives from the Greek word τριβάς ( tribas ), [10] which in turn comes from the verb τρίβω ( tribō ), "rub". [11] In ancient Greek and Roman sexuality , a tribas, or tribade (IPA: /ˈtrɪbəd/ /tribad/ ), [12] was a woman or intersex individual who actively penetrated another person (male or female) through use of the clitoris or a dildo . The term tribade did not begin to refer exclusively to eroticism between women until Late Antiquity . [6] [8] Because penetration was viewed as "male-defined" sexuality, a tribas was considered the most vulgar lesbian. [7] [8] [13] [14] The Greeks and Romans recognized same-sex attraction, but as any sexual act was believed to require that one of the partners be " phallic " and that therefore sexual activity between women was impossible without this feature, mythology popularly associated lesbians with either having enlarged clitorises or as incapable of enjoying sexual activity without the substitution of a phallus. [15] [16] [17] This appears in Greek and Latin satires as early as the late first century. [13]

In English texts, tribade is recorded as early as 1601, in Ben Jonson 's Praeludium (Poem X in The Forest ), [6] to as late as the mid-nineteenth century; it was the most common lesbian term in European texts, [13] through the proliferation of classical literature, anatomies, midwiferies, sexual advice manuals, and pornography . [6] It also came to refer to lesbian sexual practices in general, though anatomical investigation in the mid-eighteenth century led to skepticism about stories of enlarged clitorises and anatomists and doctors argued for a more precise distinction between clitoral hypertrophy and hermaphroditism . [6]

Author Bonnie Zimmerman stated, "More often, however, [European] writers avoided the term, instead euphemistically invoking 'unnatural vice,' 'lewd behavior,' 'crimes against nature,' 'using an instrument,' and 'taking the part of a man.' " [6] In the eighteenth century, where the term saw one of its most popular uses, it was employed in several pornographic libels against Marie Antoinette , who was "tried and roundly convicted in the press" as being a tribade. [6] [9] "[Her] rumored tribadism had historically specific political implications," stated author Dena Goodman. "Consider her final (fictive) testimony in The Confession of Marie-Antoinette : 'People!' she protests, 'because I ceded to the sweet impressions of nature, and in imitating the charming weakness of all the women of the court of France, I surrendered to the sweet impulsion of love...you hold me, as it were, captive within your walls?'" Goodman elaborated that in one libel, Marie-Antoinette is described as generously providing details of her husband's "incapacity in the venereal act" and that her lust resulted in her taking an aristocratic beauty Yolande de Polastron , the Duchess of Polignac (1749-1793), "into [her] service" and later specifying that what makes sex with a woman so appealing is "Adroit in the art of stimulating the clitoris"; Marie-Antoinette is described as having stated that La Polignac's attentions produced "one of those rare pleasures that cannot be used up because it can be repeated as many times as one likes". [9]

By the time the Victorian era arrived, cited Zimmerman, "tribadism tended to be constructed as a lower class and non-Western phenomenon and often was associated with the supposed degeneration of prostitutes and criminals". [6] By the twentieth century, " tribade had been supplanted" by the terms sapphist , lesbian , invert , and homosexual , as tribade had become too archaic to use. [6] Fricatrice , a synonym for tribade that also refers to rubbing but has a Latin rather than a Greek root, appeared in English texts as early as 1605 (in Ben Jonson's Volpone ). [18] Its usage sugg
