Hello. Wandered over from yonmei's journal. I'm 20 and from Birmingham, if that helps.
Where did you get your sex education about sex between women?
Pretty much picked it up as I went along. Plus, the 'what do they actually do' is sort of obvious (unless I'm missing something really crucial!). "If I like the idea of this, maybe she will". Reading various magazines - primarily G3 and Diva, but that just confirmed what I already thought, really. Quite a bit carried over from when I thought I liked blokes, in which case I picked up a lot from teen magazines. For the BDSM, I read books by people like Jay Wiseman, but I suppose that's outside the scope of this survey.
What do you think "safer sex" means, between women?
Trying to avoid transmitting STIs. Which I suppose means either knowing your partner's disease-free or using condoms on toys and dental dams for cunnilingus.
Where do/ would you go for help with a sexual health problem?
GUM clinic or doctor.
Where do/ would you go for relationship advice?
I don't, really. I mean, I talk to my close friends about stuff, but I don't tend to seek out advice. I tend to talk to her before anything else.
Who do you talk to about sex and sexual health?
See above, really.
And, in an ideal world, how would you have answered those questions?
Well, there should have been a lot more information available when I was a lot younger. Telling me all about the Pill in school's sex ed? Not actually much use.
