Q:How do lesbians have sex? Do lesbians need to practice safer sex?A:
Lesbians, bisexuals, and any girls who are sexual with other girls can give and express pleasure in many, many ways. Just like there is no one "right" way for heterosexuals to have sex, there is no one "right" way for lesbians to have sex.
What two girls do to have sex depends on what feels good for them. Too often, heterosexuals think that the only way to have sex is to put a penis into a vagina, but that may not be the activity that brings the most pleasure to the two people.
Lesbians, bisexuals, and other girls touch each others' bodies by using their fingers, mouths (oral sex), and various body parts. Sometimes two girls kiss, touch each others' breasts, and touch the clitoris and other sensitive areas around the outside or inside of the vagina or anus with their fingers or sex toys. Sometimes they use their fingers or sex toys to penetrate the vaginal or anal opening (anal sex). Many girls also rub their vulvas against each other; this is called "tribadism."
It is possible to transmit sexually transmitted infections through many of these practices, so read up on safer sex here.
When two people can communicate well, whether they are straight, bi, or gay, they can experience a huge range of sexual activities that are mutually agreed on, pleasureful, and creative.
