I thought I should really just post to note that just as I sat down to plan our consultation on the Sexual Health Strategy, look what came on my random playlist!

Hmm. So I'm trying to devise a questionnaire about where queer women get their information and advice from. And it occurs to me that there are several such women on my friends list. So: tell me.

Where did you get your sex education about sex between women?
What do you think "safer sex" means, between women?
Where do/ would you go for help with a sexual health problem?
Where do/ would you go for relationship advice?
Who do you talk to about sex and sexual health?

And, in an ideal world, how would you have answered those questions?

And, just as an injoke for those of us who've spent days reading this document: would you use a dental dam if you were in prison, but not otherwise?

I do actually want to know, by the way - both because I'm interested generally in other people's experiences, and because I need to put some shape to this consultation I'm planning. So: talk about sex! Now!

Oops, I forgot the last one. In an ideal world, I would have known as much about safe sex and the sexual health issues surrounding oral/genital contact or vibrator/genital contact as I do about the sexual health issues surrounding penis/vaginal sex (even if I wasn't gay myself, because, you know, Cunnilingus Is Not Just For Lesbians.) How come I memorised all the safe sex stuff in Just Seventeen from the age of about thirteen, and could probably quote the relative rates of pregnancy on the pill and the condom when I was seventeen but I'd never heard of dental dams until I was 21 and at university? That's crap!

Also, I have never seen dental dams for sale, anywhere. And that's including having got behind the curtain in Libertas. I do actually know where i could go to get dental dams at the moment, but only because I'm on a university campus and tons of my friends are/were involved in university welfare services, so dental dam jokes are pretty commonplace. Unlike condoms, though, they're not actually given out in first year packs or anything. (The university LGB society gives out a pack which includes an extra-strong condom. Cue all the girls: Well, gee, that's going to come in useful!)

Off the university campus, I don't have the first clue where I should go. Stock up on the non-microwaveable clingfilm!
