The Truth About Scissoring…

Snip, snip, bring me those lesbian hips.

Scissoring has long been a heavy topic of conversation around these parts. Not just within our community, but pretty much every time lesbians or bisexuals are brought up. In fact, it’s more often than not when lesbian and bisexuality are brought up.

And every time, without fail, it is the same conversation.

Some guy makes a gross comment about how we have sex, usually accompanied by a crude hand gesture, followed immediately by someone feeling the burning need to declare:

“That’s not a real thing!”

Then for fear of being a bad gay, you silently agree. Give the obligatory subtle nod. All while knowing there is no better feeling in the world than sliding against a soft woman, feeling just how turned on she is for you.

So why are so many members of our community against owning this part of our sexuality?

Of course it’s no secret that when our intimacy is acted out for the male gaze, the act of aggressively attempting to start a fire with our lady parts tends to be the mass majority of the content. And for that reason, it may make us more hesitant to shout our love of the act loudly and proudly. Or maybe (absolutely) some women don’t enjoy it, and therefore project that onto the community as a whole.

But I’m here to tell you right now.

Without a doubt.

Scissoring is very, very, real.

It is sensual. It is intimate. It is…sticky. And it is something that a lot of women love taking part in.

So, ladies and they’s. Whether you like to strap-up or strap-down, let’s embrace the fact that even if something isn’t our preference, it doesn’t mean it isn’t someone’s preference.

And that’s on bumpin’ uglies.

What are your thoughts on scissoring? Are you Team Yay, Team Nay, or Team Have Not a Thing to Say?
