Where did you get your sex education about sex between women?
The Little Red School Book and the relevant page of an A-level biology text book (one left accidentally-on-purpose in my bookshelf by my parents, the other read in the library as soon as I was old enough to go there alone) taught me the basics. The rest I gleaned from popular culture, articles in The Guardian, the internet and various girlfriends. Sex ed at school was mainly reproduction focused until I was 14. Then it was all about sexual health and contraception. No one mentioned dental damns.
What do you think "safer sex" means, between women?
No fluid transfer other than saliva. Dental dams, condoms on shared sex toys, etc.
Where do/ would you go for help with a sexual health problem?
My GP or the nearby student clinic, depending whether this was during the holidays or term time.
Where do/ would you go for relationship advice?
My RL friends and/or my online friends. But probably no one.
Who do you talk to about sex and sexual health?
My own - just my closest friends, if anyone. In general - other slashers and some of my RL friends.
And, in an ideal world, how would you have answered those questions?
Sex ed would've taught me the basics about non-reproductive sex. Section 28 wouldn't have existed and so wouldn't have coloured the lessons. I'm pretty happy with how things turned out for me, and I wish everyone had such positive experiences.
