rebelraisingI 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!

BLOGS. Basically. Some websites, mostly US.
What do you think "safer sex" means, between women?
Hmm... *really* safe sex means no sharing of fluids. A measure of safety I would probably be happy with (given that I walk up big mountains and drive in the south east) is no blood contact.
Where do/ would you go for help with a sexual health problem?
GUM clinic, probably need to be London now. When I was younger I used to go to the doctor but soon realised this was a mistake as the doctors were pretty judgemental, assumed I was straight and lied about the availability of certain theings (eg birth control: if it's not available in Glasgow, on the NHS, then it doeasn't exist).
Where do/ would you go for relationship advice?
Friends? Actually I don't ask anyone for advice on these things, I feel it would be a bit of a betrayal to take problems outside the relationship. Not that I think other people are bad when they seek outside help, just that it would kind of change the basis for our "thing".
Who do you talk to about sex and sexual health?
Um, the GUM/FP clinic, the boy and LJ!
