Might get hate for this, but I probably wouldn't. I only have sex in long term relationships anyway, would probably get STI tests, and so on. I don't think the STI rate between women is that high. It's mostly a risk if one has slept with a man before, and most of the STI's spread are not a death sentence. The biggest worry for me is HPV, and protection doesn't even prevent it, so ehhh..... If you're having sex more casually, you probably should. It's just safer.
It all depends on who you're with. Personally I never have, but I'm on the younger side and the people I've been with were either virgins at the time, or I talked to them about it and cleared the air beforehand. If you're talking about sex with a committed partner then I wouldn't worry about it as long as you two talked it out at some point before things got physical. If you're planning on having sex more casually (especially with people you don't know that well/people who are known to "sleep around") I'd definitely try some form of protection.
No, I haven't in the past, but we were both virgins that had been dating a long time. In the future? Probably not but depends on who I'm with.
Wow... I'm not sure what kind of protection a girl would use with another girl. Saran wrap?! No seriously but I'm new to being bisexual and my gf was a virgin too so... I'll have to google this LOL
I have been so lucky and only have been with one partner in my young life and I plan to have it stay that way. We do not use protection when we engage in sex together as we know we are the only people we have been with.
My girlfriend and I use condoms lol. Covering our hands is quite easier than you think. This isnonly because I'm adopted and I do not know my birth family's medical history. So until I can get checked, we use protection. And usually a better option is a dental dam or a cut condom into a square piece. But often, I've heard it is not worth it- it is not pleasurable.
Um i'm a newly identifying gay girl, and a virgin, so i feel like i should ask...how do you use protection with another girl, anyways?
