If you have masturbated and spent time exploring your own body, use the knowledge you have gained of what feels good to direct your partner.

Must the film focus primarily on a gay storyline, or can it feature strong lesbian characters doing something entirely different than just being lesbians? Is subtext enough, or must the sapphic be explicit? How much cinephile wrath will rain down on us for the absence of a certain recent Oscar winner? (Hot dog fingers, we argue, are simply not enough!)

In“Below Her Mouth,”Jasmine (Natalie Krill) is a successful fashion editor who is happily engaged and planning her wedding withfiancéRile (Sebastian Pigott).

Be present with your partner and take your time.’ She adds, ‘Make sure you are clear on consent. And then explore and have fun!’ Communicating with your partner Communicate with your partner first. Talk about what you want to try, what you like, and any fears or concerns you have,’ she advises. But how do you tell your partner what you like? While many people still use the term lesbian sex, any LGBTQ+ person will tell you it’s outdated. Lesbian sex implies it involves two women who both identify as lesbians. We know not just women have vulvas and vaginas (some transgender and non-binary people do, too), and that not all women and people with vulvas who have sex with other women and people with vulvas identify as lesbians (they may identify as queer, bisexual, or pansexual, for example). So instead of using the term lesbian sex, we should instead be referring to it with a more inclusive term, like vulva-to-vulva sex, sex between two women or people with vulvas, or even just queer sex.If it’s your first time having sex with a woman or someone with a vulva, Dr Bisbey says you should treat it like you would having sex of any kind for the first time. Below Her Mouth” first premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival. Now, the lesbian romancewill make its theatrical debut in April. Directed byApril Mullen and written by Stephanie Fabrizi, the film co-stars androgynous supermodelErika Linder.

While not all vulva-having people enjoy penetration or using sex toys, sex with a strap-on is normal and common in queer sex. One partner wears a harness in which a dildo is placed, and this is used to penetrate the other person’s vagina, mouth or anus. Fisting The first time it ended, after a few months, was at a restaurant. We were with co-workers and I got up to leave. She asked me not to go. Then she asked louder. And then we were on the sidewalk, clutching, scratching, arguing, for everyone to see. “I’ll never be enough for you,” she said, her way of saying that me keeping us secret had been keeping her ashamed. Remember, it's also really vital that you keep your sex toys clean, too. After using them, either wash them with warm water and fragrance-free soap or with a sex toy cleaner. This reduce the risk of bacteria spreading and the risk of transmitting STIs. LubeThere are many harmful myths surrounding vulva-to-vulva sex that are steeped in ignorance, homophobia and stereotypes that it is important to unlearn. And remember, ‘All people are individuals. So some people with vulvas will hate penetration and others will love it. Some will love oral sex and others won’t like it. You cannot make assumptions about what people will like sexually based on what kind of genitals they have.’ Safer lesbian sex Cleanliness Just like with sex that involves people of any gender, the definition is fluid and depends on the individuals. While sex between straight, cisgender male and female couples has traditionally been defined by penetrative penis-in-vagina sex, this is fortunately changing. We know sex can involve all sorts of acts, and doesn’t even always include genital touching. Scissoring is another hotly debated topic. If you’ve ever watched lesbian porn, you could be forgiven for thinking scissoring is all women and vagina-havers do when they have sex with each other. In truth, some queer people love scissoring and do it regularly, others say it doesn’t work for them and it’s not part of their sex lives.
