I'd like to add that I just attended a lecture at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Center downtown, discussing safe sex practices for women who have sex with women. Oftentimes, people wrongly assume that women cannot get STIs or HIV from other women, which is not the case. We learned how to use the female condom for oral sex. The health educators also spoke about using a condom if a woman wanted to use a dildo for protection. The women also stressed the importance of using antibacterial soap before using that specific dildo with a different partner, as well as a condom. We also learned that men who have sex with men often use a female condom, because many find it to be much more durable and so safer and less likely to break.
