Lesbian Sex Positions – The Ultimate Guide: All Positions, Orgasm & Toys for Lesbian Couples
Part of our comprehensive Sex Positions Guide.
Lesbian Sex Positions – What Makes This Guide Different
Most sex position guides treat lesbian sex as an afterthought. Not this guide. Lesbian sex positions have their own priorities: clitoral stimulation as the primary form of orgasm, tribadism and scissoring as distinct techniques, strap-on positions with their own logic, and a toy world that fundamentally differs from heterosexual recommendations.
From the SilikonLust perspective, lesbian sex is the category where toy design matters most: a Sex Grinder that stimulates both partners simultaneously. A platinum silicone strap-on that feels like real skin. Dildo panties that allow for penetrative positions without a harness. These products exist – and most guides don't mention them.
One number that explains it all: Studies show that lesbian women orgasm more frequently during sex than heterosexual women. The reason: clitoral stimulation is central, not penetration. This guide builds on this principle.

Scissoring & Tribadism – The Most Iconic Lesbian Position
Scissoring (also called Tribadism or Scissors) is the most well-known lesbian sex position – and also the most misunderstood. In pop culture, scissoring is often depicted as an acrobatic intertwining of legs. In reality, it's about one thing: clitoris-to-clitoris contact with sufficient pressure and the right angle.
What exactly is scissoring?
Both partners cross their legs and bring their genitals into direct contact. The "scissors" describes the leg position – one person lies on their back, the other sits sideways and slides one leg under the other person's body. The genitals meet in the middle.
Why scissoring often doesn't work – and how to fix it:
The most common problem: clitoral contact is too indirect or there's not enough pressure. The solution isn't more acrobatics, but a better angle and a tool.
SilikonLust Tip: A platinum silicone Sex Grinder placed between the bodies – both partners simultaneously rub against the textured surface. The Sex Grinder solves the angle problem: it's shaped to allow clitoral contact for both partners simultaneously, regardless of body size or anatomy. Platinum silicone is body-warm and silky-smooth – no resistance, no interruption of the moment.
Scissoring variations:
- Classic Scissoring – both lying on their backs, legs crossed, genitals in contact
- Seated Variation – one person sits upright, the other lies down. More control over pressure and angle
- Standing Variation – both standing, one person lifts a leg. Spontaneous, but less stable
- Scissoring with Sex Grinder – toy between bodies, both rubbing simultaneously. Most intense variation
Lesbian Sex Positions for Beginners
For beginners in lesbian sex, the rule is: body contact and communication before technique. These three positions are the best starting points.
1. Spooning Position – Intimate, Relaxed, Hands-On
Both partners lie on their side, one person from behind. Maximum physical closeness, all four hands free. The person behind can stimulate the person in front manually or with a toy – clitoris, breast, vagina. The most relaxed of all lesbian positions.
SilikonLust Tip: A platinum silicone Bullet Vibrator in the hand of the person behind – precise clitoral stimulation, complete control over pressure and position.
2. Missionary Position – Clitoral Contact through Body Movement
One person lies on top, the other on the bottom. Grinding movements (pelvis back and forth) create clitoris-to-clitoris contact. The missionary position is different for lesbian couples than for heterosexual ones: penetration is optional, clitoral contact is the goal.
SilikonLust Tip: A platinum silicone Sex Grinder between the bodies – the body weight of the top person keeps it in position, every grinding movement stimulates both clitorises simultaneously. Hands-free, no holding necessary.
3. 69 Position – Mutual Oral Sex
Both partners lie on top of each other and stimulate each other orally. The 69 position is particularly effective for lesbian couples because oral sex is the most direct form of clitoral stimulation. Coordination is required – but when it works, it's one of the most intense experiences.
The Most Important Lesbian Positions in Detail
Tribadism – Clitoris-to-Clitoris
Tribadism is the scientific term for all forms of genital contact between two women without penetration. Scissoring is a form of tribadism – but not the only one. The missionary position with grinding movements is also tribadism.
What distinguishes tribadism from other forms: it requires no toys, no strap-on, no preparation. Just two bodies and the right angle. For many lesbian couples, tribadism is the most intimate form of sex – because there's nothing between the bodies.
Cowgirl Position – One Person on Top, Full Control
One person sits on the other, genitals in contact. The top person has complete control over pressure, pace, and angle. With a strap-on: penetrative cowgirl position. Without a strap-on: tribadism in the cowgirl position.
SilikonLust Tip: Strap-on with clitoral stimulator – the person wearing it stimulates the receiving person through penetration, while the stimulator arm rubs their own clitoris with every movement. Both partners are stimulated simultaneously.
Lotus Position – Maximum Intimacy
Both partners sit facing each other, legs intertwined. Maximum eye contact, synchronized breathing, slow rhythm. Possible with a strap-on, but also without – as tribadism in the seated position. The most spiritual of all lesbian positions.
Doggy Style with Strap-on
One person kneels on all fours, the other from behind with a strap-on. Deepest penetration, direct G-spot contact. The person wearing it has both hands free for clitoral stimulation of the receiving person.
SilikonLust Tip: Realistic platinum silicone dildo in the strap-on – platinum silicone takes on body temperature and feels like real skin. In doggy style, every texture hits the anterior wall directly.
Butterfly Position with Strap-on
The receiving person lies at the edge of the bed, the person wearing the strap-on stands in front. Perfect G-spot angle, both hands of the wearing person completely free – for clitoral stimulation, breast contact, or toy use.
Strap-on Positions – Penetrative Lesbian Sex
A strap-on enables all penetrative sex positions for lesbian couples. The choice of the right strap-on system determines the quality of the experience – not only for the receiving person, but also for the person wearing it.
Strap-on Systems Compared:
| System | Advantage | Disadvantage | Best Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harness + Dildo | Flexible, interchangeable dildo | Harness adjustment needed | All positions |
| Dildo Panties (integrated) | No harness, ready to wear immediately | Fixed dildo | Spontaneous positions |
| Strap-on with Clitoral Stimulator | Both partners stimulated | Less flexibility | Missionary position, Cowgirl position |
| Double-sided Dildo | Both penetrated simultaneously | Coordination needed | Spooning position, Doggy |
Why Platinum Silicone is Crucial for Strap-ons:
A platinum silicone strap-on dildo takes on body temperature – after a few minutes, it no longer feels like a toy. The micro-skin texture on the surface – fine, organic lines – is not registered as silicone when touched. This is the difference between a toy and an experience.
Dildo Panties – Strap-on without a Harness:
Dildo Panties (also Pussy Panties with an integrated channel) are an alternative to the classic harness system: the dildo is integrated into a slip that is worn directly on the body. No putting on, no adjusting, no interruption. SilikonLust Dildo Panties are made of platinum silicone – seamlessly crafted, no visible boundary between slip and skin.
Particularly interesting for lesbian couples: Dildo Panties position the dildo precisely on the body of the person wearing it – the movement is more natural than with a harness, because the slip moves with the body.
Best Strap-on Positions for Lesbian Couples:
- Missionary Position – eye contact, emotional connection, clitoral stimulator rubs with every movement
- Cowgirl Position – receiving person completely controls depth and angle
- Doggy Style – deepest penetration, G-spot contact, both hands of the person wearing it free
- Spooning Position – relaxed, intimate, all hands free for additional stimulation
- Butterfly Position – most precise G-spot angle, person wearing it stands stably
Lesbian Orgasm – What Really Works
Lesbian women orgasm more frequently during sex than heterosexual women. This is no coincidence – it's the result of a different set of priorities: clitoral stimulation is central, not penetration.
The Clitoris – The Center of the Lesbian Orgasm:
The clitoris is the only human organ that exists solely for pleasure. It is larger than visible: the visible part (clitoral glans) is just the tip – the entire organ extends internally around the vagina. Positions and techniques that directly stimulate the clitoris are more effective than pure penetration.
Orgasm Ranking by Stimulation Type:
| Stimulation Type | Orgasm Probability | Best Method |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Clitoral Stimulation (oral) | Very High | 69 Position, Oral Sex |
| Direct Clitoral Stimulation (manual) | High | Spooning Position, All Positions |
| Tribadism / Scissoring | Medium–High | With Sex Grinder: High |
| Penetration + Clitoral Stimulation | High | Strap-on with Stimulator |
| Penetration Alone | Low–Medium | G-Spot Angle Crucial |
The Sex Grinder – The Underrated Toy for Lesbian Couples:
A platinum silicone Sex Grinder is the only toy that stimulates both partners simultaneously – without penetration, without a strap-on. It is placed between the bodies and activated by grinding movements. Body weight keeps it in position. Both partners simultaneously rub against the textured surface.
Why platinum silicone is crucial here: the Sex Grinder lies directly against the clitoris of both partners. A toy that smells (latex, cheap TPE) interrupts the moment. Platinum silicone is completely odorless and takes on body temperature.
Lesbian Masturbation – Solo & Together
Lesbian Masturbation – self-stimulation alone or together with a partner – is a distinct part of lesbian sexuality. Mutual masturbation is one of the most intimate experiences for many lesbian couples: you see what the other person likes – and learn in the process.
Solo Lesbian Masturbation – The Best Toys:
- Realistic platinum silicone dildo – for vaginal or anal self-stimulation. Platinum silicone takes on body temperature – after a few minutes, no more toy feeling
- Lesbian Masturbator – toys designed for simultaneous stimulation of multiple areas (clitoris + vagina)
- Bullet Vibrator – precise clitoral stimulation, small and discreet
Mutual Masturbation – Positions:
- Lying next to each other – both stimulate themselves, observe each other
- Sitting opposite each other – eye contact, synchronized rhythm possible
- One person stimulates the other – transition to manual stimulation
SilikonLust Tip: Double-sided platinum silicone dildo – both partners insert one end simultaneously. In the spooning position or sitting opposite each other. Platinum silicone is flexible enough for bending, shape-stable enough for precise stimulation.
SilikonLust Toys for Lesbian Couples
Lesbian sex toys have different requirements than heterosexual ones: both partners should be stimulated, material quality is crucial (direct clitoral contact), and the toy should enhance the connection, not interrupt it.
Why Platinum Silicone is Non-Negotiable for Lesbian Toys:
- Body-warm – takes on body temperature. For direct clitoral contact, a warm toy is more natural than a cold one
- Odorless – no latex smell, no plastic smell. This is crucial for face-to-face contact (oral sex, 69 position)
- Silky-smooth – no resistance, no pulling. The clitoris is sensitive – rough surfaces are uncomfortable
- Non-porous – completely sterilizable. For toys used by both partners, this is a hygiene must
The Most Important SilikonLust Toys for Lesbian Couples:
| Toy | Function | Best Position |
|---|---|---|
| Sex Grinder | Simultaneous clitoral stimulation of both partners | Missionary position, Scissoring, Tribadism |
| Realistic Dildo (Strap-on) | Penetration with skin-like feel | All Strap-on Positions |
| Dildo Panties / Pussy Panties | Strap-on without harness, natural movement | Spontaneous positions, Missionary position |
| Double-sided Dildo | Both partners penetrated simultaneously | Spooning position, sitting opposite each other |
| Bullet Vibrator | Precise clitoral stimulation | All positions (in hand) |
| Anal Plug | Anal stimulation in addition to vaginal | Doggy Style, Spooning position |
The Combination That Changes Everything:
Strap-on with Clitoral Stimulator + Sex Grinder – the person wearing it uses a strap-on with an integrated stimulator (stimulating their own clitoris with every movement), while a Sex Grinder is additionally placed between the bodies. Both partners are simultaneously stimulated on multiple levels. This is the toy logic not described in any other guide.
