Unfortunately, scissoring is one of those sex things that tends to get a bad rap. Countless jokes have been made about it. It’s even been dismissed as “not real”—i.e., the media “made it up” because they didn’t understand how queer women, lesbians, and AFAB people have sex with each other. And don’t get us wrong, there is plenty of misinformation out there about queer sex (and sex in general, le sigh). But trust, scissoring is real. Yes, completely real. What’s more: It’s FUN. And PLEASURABLE. It’s not the only way queer and AFAB people have sex, but it’s certainly an option.
