Some sexual health knowledge that lesbians should know
1. Prevent STDs: Many people think that lesbians will not get STDs, which is wrong! For example, herpes simplex virus can be transmitted through contact between the mouth and private parts. Even if traditional sexual behavior does not occur, there is a risk as long as there is close contact. Human papillomavirus can also be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, which can make private parts sick. Therefore, when lesbian lovers are intimate, such as oral sex and finger sex, it is best to use oral protective films and finger condoms to reduce the possibility of infection. In addition, it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive STD examination every year to check whether there is HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, etc.
2. Reproductive health: Some lesbian friends want to have a baby, so they will use artificial insemination and IVF. Before deciding to use it, you must find out how it is done, how likely it is to succeed, what risks there are, and the relevant national laws and regulations. In addition, whether you want to have children or not, you should pay more attention to your reproductive system and go for regular gynecological examinations, such as Pap smears and HPV tests, to find out if there are any problems with the cervix early. When using sex toys, you must pay attention to cleanliness, otherwise it is easy to get infected in the private parts.
3. Mental health: There are still some people in society who do not understand homosexuality, have prejudices and discrimination, which will bring great psychological pressure to lesbian friends and affect their sexual health. When the mental pressure is high, it is easy to be anxious and depressed, and the sex life will also be affected. Therefore, lesbian friends should pay more attention to their mood. If you feel uncomfortable, don't bear it alone. You can talk to your partner, family or friends, or you can ask a professional psychologist for help. It is also good to participate in some activities organized by the gay community. Talking with people with similar experiences can make you feel better and more accepting of yourself.
4. Talk about safe sex: Couples must talk frankly about sexual health. When you first start dating, you should tell each other about your previous sexual experiences, your current health status, and your thoughts on safe sex. For example, discuss whether to use contraceptive measures together. Even if you don't get pregnant, it can prevent sexually transmitted diseases. You should also think about how to make both of you feel comfortable and safe when you are intimate. As long as you communicate well, you can avoid many sexual health problems caused by misunderstandings or concealment, making the relationship between two people healthier and more harmonious.
