Clit against clit
With nothing going inside, lesbian scissoring is sex where two women lie with their legs interlocked like the blades of open scissors, so their pussies meet and each clit rubs against the other. Tribbing, short for tribadism, is the wider term and covers grinding the vulva against any part of a partner, a thigh, a hip bone or the mound above her pussy.
Getting two pelvises to line up
The textbook version of lesbian scissoring has each woman lying back and leaning on her elbows, one leg over and one under her partner's. Upright and facing each other, the two bring mouths within reach and press chest to chest, which suits busty partners. On top, one woman grinds down onto her partner's mound, and riding a thigh lets her choose her own pressure. A pillow under one pelvis fixes the angle when two bodies of different heights do not line up, and a hand on the other woman's ankle or hip gives the leverage to push harder.
Wetness does the gliding, and a dry spot drags, so a little lube or the oil left over from an oil massage helps. Oral and grinding mix in the same bed, and a pussy already wet from a partner's tongue slides more easily. The effort lands in the hip flexors and inner thighs, and the shaking is not all pleasure. A side view at hip level is the one that shows where the two bodies actually touch. Small, steady circles of the pelvis do more than long strokes, since the clit wants constant contact, not distance.
