Where did you get your sex education about sex between women?
My sex education mostly talked about particular acts, not orientations. So more "if you do this, it's safe, if you do that, it's not" than "if you're straight, do this, if you're gay, do this." That said, it was definitely implicitly heterocentric, and I had to do some extrapolation.
What do you think "safer sex" means, between women?
I always think of safer sex as a continuum -- the only completely safe sex is no sex -- but certainly acts involving bare genitalia are less safe than acts not involving them. Covering them with some sort of latex increases the safety. I think every relationship needs to make those decisions for themselves, though.
Where do/ would you go for help with a sexual health problem?
My doctor.
Where do/ would you go for relationship advice?
I don't generally ask for relationship advice. Probably my closest friends, in a pinch.
Who do you talk to about sex and sexual health?
My partners.
And, in an ideal world, how would you have answered those questions?
Pretty much the same, though the sex education would have been less heterocentric.
