Where did you get your sex education about sex between women? In the most basic sense, from my mother, who I asked about gay sex when I was 12 or 13 and got a one sentence response about female fingering and male anal penetration. In more detail, from dirty stories online, pretty much. And, later, once I'd become sexually active, more educational websites. Also, uh, hands-on experience. <g>
What do you think "safer sex" means, between women? Using a dental dam for oral sex, although I've been looking for years and never seen them sold anywhere. (They were being given out at the AIDS Walk in Central Park, NYC a few years ago, in Pussy Packs. Hee.) Ohterwise making sure both partners have been tested for STDs and, ideally, are aware of each other's sexual history. I actually considered myself fairly well-educated as far as safe sex goes, but I've already learned a lot from your comments, so. (For the record, I was educated at home and in Christian schools so the subject was NEVER addressed for me in any kind of formal way, it's all been self-taught, pretty much.)
Where do/ would you go for help with a sexual health problem? Now that I'm in the UK, to my GP, I suppose.
Where do/ would you go for relationship advice? LJ, really, or in the past friends/roommates.
Who do you talk to about sex and sexual health? In the past friends/roommates. Lately not so much anyone.
As far as an ideal world goes, I'd definitely have answered the last two differently; it would be nice if people in general were more open about sexual discussions, especially queer ones. But I think that's a given.
