1.) Where did you get your sex education about sex between women? Lesbian sex manuals (age 16), the queer alliance at University (age 18)
2.) What do you think "safer sex" means, between women? Gloves, dental dams, condoms on sex toys, short fingernails. For me, it also means knowing my partner's STD status.
3.) Where do/ would you go for help with a sexual health problem? MY GYNECOLOGIST RULES THE WORLD. No, really. Last year I got a pap smear for $5. In the US, that's bloody cheap. She's smart and cool and will run as many tests as I ask her to.
4.) Where do/ would you go for relationship advice? I usually try to work it out with my partner; or, if I'm single and need to talk about such things, my best friend.
5.) Who do you talk to about sex and sexual health? My partner, my doctors.
And, in an ideal world, how would you have answered those questions? In an ideal world, I would have had sex ed before age fourteen and learned about all kinds of safe sex there.
And yes, I have used dental dams. I have a box of them beneath my bed right now, actually.
