  1. I’m fine! Really! One of my partners has been trying to get me to stop saying that for as long as he’s known me. One of these days I’ll quit saying it.

  2. Omg thanks so much for the sex ed article!! Now I have yet another source to cite in my anti-abstinence education PowerPoint I’m preparing for my health class.

  3. I love the nudes article. Great style & all true too. And yes always ask before sending

  4. I took a sexual health survey last week. It was mostly about condoms, spermicide, and pregnancy test. At the end, I was given an opportunity to share my thoughts. I pointed out there was no questions or representation for lesbian needs. Dental dams were nowhere to be found. Nothing about HPV. It was an extensive survey. It’s hard enough to get our own community involved with safe sex. Visibility and availability would be helpful.

    • That’s bizzarre (but also highly credible), because those things are not even lesbian-specific. I mean, when I first learned about dental dams it sure wasn’t even suggested that they could be used by two women. And really, there are fairly few things that are truly specific to the lgbt+ community (by which I mean, straight couples also use strap-ons and other toys, perform cunnilingus, etc).It sounds like the survey, like so much sexual health content, mainly focused on men’s concerns (causing pregnancy) and penis-in-vagina sex.
