Um if me and my gf decide to do it, do we need to take any precautions since we're both girls?

It depends. Are you both virgins? Have you been tested for STDs? Are you in a monogamous (well, in your case bigamous) relationship? If you haven't, you should be tested. If you aren't virgins, that goes double. And regardless, if you aren't in a closed relationship, yes, protection is necessary.

So until you do get tested, and make sure that both of you are on the same page about your sex lives, follow Baka's tips and remember to be very careful.

Well, in your came bigamous


What's that supposed to mean? I'm bisexual but I only love one person. Gawd I f**king hate that stereotype that we need to have two people. Uh no, we are capable of enough responsibility to be loyal to our one partner.

I meant bi- meaning "two" and gam(ous)- meaning "female". It was a play on words about a lesbian relationship--I didn't think about your sexuality.

Don't worry about it, Sarah. I have bi friends who feel the very same way. The way I see it, is if I can't handle a little drama between friends, well, I shouldn't be gay. razz wink

But I hope my words didn't fall on deaf ears....

erm, when you say "get tested", what do you mean exactly? I haven't started dating yet and was wondering how to go about the whole safe sex thing when you're a lesbian.

Go to your doctor and get a blood test done. I think it's called a CBT ir something. Like,"complete bloodwork test". Anyway, don't have sex until you get the results back.

Just ask the Dr for a 'full blood test'. They'll take a sample and you should get your results in a week or so. Just checks all your systems. If every comes out clean and dandy your good. As far as during sex goes, just make sure that you or your partner don't have any open wounds or cuts.

That and you really should use plastic gloves or some kind of "dental dams". But if you're just starting to date or you just started dating someone it's always better to just wait. I know that's a bit corny but still. It's the best way to be safe.

yeah, I was thinking of waiting anywhere from 6 months to a couple of years of dating a person before making the decision to go "all the way". Is that unusual?

Nope, not at all. It all matters to you and when you feel safe and comfortable, you'll know when your ready.

Yeah. There is no "normal". Every relationship will be different, and there's no shame in waiting. When in doubt, though, wait.
