Because it’s been a while since sex-ed…. oh wait, did they even cover this?
Seriously, take it seriously.
Dr. Elizabeth Boske said it best: "Lesbian safer sex is not an oxymoron." Sexual health is important for everyone –regardless of your age, gender, or orientation.

Know that all sexual activities are not created equal.
Some sexual acts require a bit more flexibility than others, sure – but we're actually talking about levels of risk when it comes to disease and infection. Activities that are considered to be lower risk include "hugging, touching, massage, and masturbation." Many women consider sex with other women to be a "low-risk" activity, but many STDs are transferrable between two women.
Remember: Just because you're not having sex with men...
