Lesbians: what kind of sexuality for homosexual women?
Sexuality between women is often reduced to certain sexual practices and a few positions. Yet lesbian love presents different ways of being practiced. What sexuality do homosexual women have?
What is lesbian love?
Lesbian love is sex between women. When it is practiced only between women who love only women, then we speak of a homosexual relationship, which corresponds to a sexual orientation. Often invisible, the sexuality of lesbian women is often reduced to a few known sexual positions and practices. Yet lesbian sexuality is just as rich and diverse as sexuality between a man and a woman, for example.
Lesbian love is also the source of many stereotypes and preconceived ideas. However, the manner of making love, whether it is between a man and a woman, or between two women, does not differ enormously: the pleasure, the desire or the passion are constants which one finds as well in one than the other. Only certain practices or positions are different.
The different practices of lesbian sexuality
There are several possible sexual practices between two women. As in heterosexual intercourse, oral sex is often a part of foreplay. This category includes, for example, cunnilingus or rimming. The best known is undoubtedly cunnilingus, a practice of oral sex which consists in giving pleasure to the woman with her mouth (lips, tongue, etc.) by stimulating and caressing the vagina and the clitoris in different ways. Cunnilingus between two women can be practiced in the so-called 69 position, that is to say lying one above the other, where each partner gives pleasure to the other.
Penetration, whether anal or vaginal, is another practice of lesbian sex. It can be done with the fingers, or with an object, such as a sextoy (vibrator, etc.) Finally, the friction between the sexes is a caress that stimulates the clitoris and the area of the vulva, erogenous and very sensitive.
What positions for homosexual women?
There are different positions for making love between two women. In Kamasutra for example, several sexual positions, whether they include penetration or not, are devoted to lesbians. For example, we find classic positions such as the spoon, which allows you to mix hugs, kisses and caresses of the clitoris. The 69 is a position that allows you to practice oral sex, where each partner cunnilingus to the other.
Finally, there are variants of the missionaries that allow simultaneous digital penetrations or not. Overall, all heterosexual positions can be adapted to lesbian positions, whether the penetration is done with a sextoy or manually.
What place for penetration in a lesbian couple?
Penetration (whether vaginal or anal) is not the only practice during lesbian sex. As we have seen, oral sex, caresses or even rubbing between the sexes are all ways of providing pleasure. However, it is possible to integrate the penetration, using his fingers or an accessory.
Sexual accessories are diverse and allow you to vary the practices. Sex toys such as vibrators or dildo belts thus allow vaginal or anal penetration, and can be used alone or in addition to manual caresses. Finally, the clitoris can also be stimulated with vibrating eggs.
Can you get STDs from being homosexual?
Lesbian sex is often described as less risky than heterosexual sex. Indeed, the absence of semen, which is one of the fluids by which STDs and STIs are transmitted, drastically reduces the possibilities of contamination. However, love between women is not without risks.
To protect yourself, it is possible to use mouth protectors for oral sex, such as dental dams (or oral condoms), which are squares of latex that are to be positioned between the mouth and the vulva or anus. Finally, it is also important to sterilize sex objects properly, so as not to transmit bacteria or communicable diseases such as herpes.
