Lesbian Tribbing: What It Is and How to Do It

Tribadism or tribbing is a sexual practice in which a woman rubs her vulva against her female lover's body for sexual stimulation, especially of the clitoris. Tribbing, also known as grinding or humping, may involve vulva-to-vulva contact or one woman rubbing her vulva against her lover's thigh, butt, or other body part. Women who enjoy tribbing especially love the whole-body contact and feeling their lover's movements. Tribbing can be performed in many positions, but these are three of the most popular:

The Missionary Position

The most popular position in tribbing is the missionary position. One woman rests between the legs of her lover and both can move with their hips to rub their vulvas, particularly their clitoris, on each other. The woman on bottom can wrap her legs around the body of her lover, or even grip her back or butt to pull her closer. Missionary tribbing allows not only vulva-to-vulva contact, but also deep kissing and breast-to-breast rubbing.

The Students' Position

Another popular position is the crossed missionary position. This position is often used by young women when having their first lesbian experience, which is why it is called the "students' position."The two women rest their bodies on each other so that each vulva touches the upper thigh of the other woman, but not the clitoris. Their thighs are intertwined, so their vulvas will not touch each other in this position. Nevertheless, it's rather easy to reach a climax in this position since both can control the power, speed and strength of rubbing their vulvas on their lover's thigh.

The Cowgirl Position

In the cowgirl position one woman is in complete control of all of the tribbing action. One woman lies on her back. The other woman straddles her partner's waist, facing her. The woman on top begins grinding down on her lover, pushing her butt backwards through the lying woman's spread legs and then pumping forward rubbing her clitoris on the lower clitoris on every thrust. The woman on top completely controls the speed and power of every thrust as the other woman is pinned beneath her. The cowgirl position allows for deep kissing, breast kissing and massaging, but it is all up to the woman on top.

In any position, Proper lubrication is important. Usually this is provided naturally as long as sufficient foreplay and arousal have already occurred; however, using something out of a bottle or tube might be needed sometimes.

Tribbing can be a nice warm up or fun foreplay, or it can be done to achieve orgasm. How you fit together with your partner and how much clitoral stimulation you can manage will determine whether you will be successful. Nevertheless, it's fun trying. There is no better way to get close and physical with your lover than tribbing.
