The only person that ever bit me down there was A GIRL. And she did it twice! I was curled up in a ball on my pillow, wanting to scream, "YOU DO NOT BITE THE LITTLE MAN IN THE BOAT!"

She is now known to all my friends simply as "the girl that bit my clit."

one word: butches.

then there's the rather less exciting aspects, like having straight people assume your sex life involves trading shoes, pillow fights, and rubbing your boobies together.

@curiousk: I keep hoping my life will turn into "trading shoes, pillow fights, and rubbing your boobies together" but instead it's working, taking care of the house, parenting the pets, etc.

Not facing pressure to make yourself small and apologize for your very presence.

No diminishing yourself/downplaying your accomplishments so he doesn't feel emasculated.

My lez friends say they love that they can go into a ladies room together and no one tries to stop them. This has led to many bathroom-stall hookups.

@Azarnes: Neither actually, i said the thread not the post. There are just a lot of comments such as HanaMaru's that are really sad.

The post itself made me laugh and was timely, i was just talking about that increasing the queer population would go a long way toward solving many of the world's current problems, although i think it will happen naturally and we dont need to involve advertisers.

@Iterum.Differo: Ha! You know, it'd be really funny except the part where that's true. I've definitely considered telling my family I'm lesbian instead of bisexual. It'd be so much easier (and I really do like ladies a hell of a lot more than dudes).

This is reminding me also of the first time I even hinted at being interested in women (though I prefer teh menz):

Mom and I were driving back from Richmond (FAKE VIRGINIA!), I had my feet up on top of the dashboard, the heat was blasting, and I admitted that I looked at women sometimes too. My mom laughed at me and said sarcastically, "Yeah but you wouldn't want to KISS one, would you? Gross."

Haven't said a word about it since then. Don't mind me with my footie players alternating with pictures of ScarJo on my desktop background. Nom. Equal opportunity nom.

@tonightineed thinks rahm is nom: My mom, after finding out I was dating a girl asked me, "So, you have kissed girls?" I replied in the affirmative and her only response was, "That's gross."

Thanks, Mom! But how do you feel about eating pussy? That's not gross, right?

This might be a little controversial, but in my experience, I found it very interesting to note that when sleeping with a woman, there was a total lack of subliminal threat, a kind of equality in the room which was very relaxing.

I have never been raped or even seriously sexually threatened, and my boyfriend is a very gentle guy, but he, like most men, is stronger than me. And, he's a guy. And whether or not you're aware of it, that creates a power dynamic in the bedroom. Hetero sex is, at the end, about penetration, and penetration, even if welcomed, is an intrusion.

I'm probably not conveying this properly but I did find sleeping with a woman to be very relaxing, very comforting, noticeably absent in any potential of threat.

Also, much more relaxing in that I didn't at any time feel like I had to be paranoid about hiding unfortunate lumps or anything like that - and again, I'm not at all inhibited in bed or ashamed of my body, but it just was so NOT an issue.

Not sure if I'm explaining this properly, though. Or how it would translate to a tagline in an ad ...

@SydneyGal: That makes a lot of sense, actually. Men and women do have an unequal power dynamic, and that plays out in private and public interactions.

@SydneyGal: I read your comment about 'going lez' and as one of the people who said that, I really hope I didn't offend you. I know it is not a choice to be gay or straight but I would like to believe i would be open to the experience. I like the way SticksnStones put it, "How about the pride (and pleasure) of knowing you are open-minded enough to experience and accept love in all its many forms regardless of which gender offers it to you?" So once again forgive me for putting my foot in my mouth, I have the real bad habit of doing that.

@Jeremy: I should add that I totally understand why someone would go gay for girls. I kissed a guy once (a friend and at the behest of the girls around me at the time) and he was all scruffy. That's when I officially knew I couldn't be gay.

Facial hair conflict.
