scissoring
Shearing back and forth
Scissoring describes a motion like scissors opening and closing—legs crossing and uncrossing, blades cutting.
In sexual slang, scissoring refers to a position where two women interlock their legs and rub genitals together: They were scissoring on the couch.
The term appears frequently in pornography and casual discussion of lesbian sex, though its prevalence in actual practice is debated.
