Essentially, it is where the two partners' legs are intertwined, upper bodies not closely aligned (as they are in missionary position).
One example is this: (this is one of my favorites because it is very conservative of the man's energy. I can keep up slow stroking almost indefinitely.)
(For just a moment, think of the two lovers' bodies separately, just to get the positioning and orientation:)
The woman on her back, left leg raised up toward her chest and a little to the left.
The man on his right side, left leg cocked up towards his chest.
(Get those images in your mind and then read the rest of the description, assembling the two partners in your mind's eye as if they were parts of a puzzle.)
Woman aligned with the bed's centerline and the man perpendicular to the bed''s centerline.
Woman's left knee draped over the man's left hip/waist and the man's left leg between the woman's legs and his left knee up between her breasts. The man's right leg extending out straight.
Woman's right leg extending a little to the right and her knee drapes over the man's right leg.
This position (and other variants which I group into the generic "scissor) positions put both partners' pubic mounds in close contact. VERY close. Close genital contact like this maximizes penetration (but may sometimes limit stroking movement). The characteristic that defines (in my definition) a "scissor" position is that each partner straddles one (and only one) of the other partner's legs.
It is HARD to describe stuff like this without pictures!!!
Is this it??

Pretty close. The position pictured is a mirror image and my topside arm is NOT usually under her leg, but over. Otherwise, yes, that is it. The web site I found it on called is something else, though. I forget the name. I should remember it because we use it a lot. After we both orgasm (in other positions) it is great for relaxing afterplay and if the previous positions we tried were not sufficiently satisfying, it pretty much guarantees orgasm for both of us, even if we are tired out.
If you think of it, I would love to look at it.
