Oh dear Cosmopolitan Magazine. Where to start?

https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/sex/a28405/10-lesbian-sex-tips/

https://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/a34553064/first-time-lesbian-sex/

It seems Cosmo's too tips are as follows:

Lesbians must always be considerate that some penis-havers identify as lesbians and must be included in anything and everything to do with lesbians, particularly lesbian sex.

If you’ve never had lesbian sex before watching lesbian porn shows a healthy depiction of lesbian relationships and doesn’t fetishise lesbians at all.

You don’t have a traditional female or male gender presentation? You should consider microdosing on permanent life-altering, experimental hormones. There is nothing irresponsible or flippant about this suggestion.

As often happens, what most strikes me here Is the sheer fucking stupidity. All the exclamation marks. All the wide-eyed cheeriness. All the SHEER FUCKING STUPIDITY.

According to that I've had lesbian sex and I've only ever slept with men identifying as men!

AGHHHHHH. So, I've got a vulva and they've got a penis and in the parallel universe we seem to suddenly be living in that equals lesbian sex!

Did I just miss it or did the second article linked to talk about having sex with penis women but then didn't remind the readers that contraception might be needed, too?

Boiledbeetle · 08/06/2022 19:21

OH MY FUCKING GOD

That was an uncomfortable read.

Did no one stop at any point in the journey from pen to print to ask "what the fuck?"

When will 'women's magazines' die properly? These final twitches are horrible to witness. Why the hell should having sex with someone you're attracted to be 'nerve racking' and require the watching of lots of porn beforehand (oh sorry! 'LESBIAN porn'. Because if they just said 'porn' that wouldn't give the people reading this deathless prose an erection.)

You know what is quite startling? I have never seen advice guides written for transbians on how to have Lesbian sex with vagina people! And, in fact, it's a long time since I have seen anything like that written for any penis havers...

HalfShrunkMoreToGo · 08/06/2022 19:08

Ahhh but @Bergamotte you've forgotten that in Cosmo world lesbians might have a Penis! 🤪

Top lesbian sex tip from SapphosRock - if you call your female partner a vagina-haver don't be surprised if she's not turned on.

That excerpt seems to be aimed at penis-havers.

"Vagina-havers generally take longer than those with penises to orgasm [...] So don't despair if you've already come and they're still nowhere near the finish line"

Odd for a lesbian sex tip in a magazine marketed to women.

Check my assumptions 🤨

no…fuck off

(line in the screenshot in case anyone wonders what I’m blethering on about)

Lesbians do not have to have sex with biological men who still have their penis but think they are lesbian. Why? Because guess what, they are heterosexual males not lesbian even if they present as women. Lesbians do not get off on penises, ever! Bisexual women might like biological men who present as women who still have a penis, but as a bi woman, I like my men to look like men and my women to look like women. Anything else ain't right. If you don't like it, not my problem.
