Totally up for discussion but are ways to ask without suggesting that you think it’s a lot of effort, or inspired by porn. Women have been having sex with women a lot longer than porn has been around!

@WetBandits

Yes I would expect that to be true.

I also listened to a podcast by a lesbian who said lesbians are fed up of being asked how they have sex so I'm conscious of that.

I thought there would maybe be commonalities. Or typical stuff. Without one size fits all.

Oh well not something appropriate for discussion I get it

It may surprise you to learn that there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach for women who have sex with women.

@TabbySamson

I'm no expert. Can only talk from experience but I've never had one from laying/kneeling in those positions being penetrated by a phalic object.

I've always been called a bit boring in the bedroom so maybe that's just me 🤷‍♀️

I'm genuinely curious about lesbian sex because all I know has been told to me by non lesbians.

Are they going to have a graphic for penis owners who enjoy intimacy with other penis owners?

This is far more cringeworthy than any sex ed class I ever sat through as a child (in ye olden days before sex ed became the bin fire it seems to be now).

Are those pictures actually representative of lesbian sex? Seems like lots of effort and porn inspired tbh

Is that similar to a Volvo owner?

They’ve been doing this for years.

Did I dream the bit about feminism fighting the reduction of women to their body parts (usually tits n ass)

Did I dream about how that was considered insulting, sexist and offensive?

Did I dream the bit about women being actual, real people with their own thoughts, opinions, feelings, ambitions and goals?

Those illustrations are about the least arousing thing I've ever seen. It's like the instructions for how to put on a life jacket, only with blobs and a tacky fuschia-pink background. Fugly.

Grrr .... straight point was supposed to say straight porn .

Goddamn autocarrot

FFS

I hope this doesn't offend...

As a straight (original M/F sex-based meaning) woman (original F sex-based meaning) I always understood that most lesbians (original F/F sex-based meaning) didn't really bother with strap-ons, dildos etc.

Obviously that doesn't mean no F/F couples do, but my understanding from friends and columnists is use of penetrative toys is mainly a straight fantasy projected on to lesbians.

If I have that wrong I'm very happy to be corrected but my first reaction to the advice for "vulva havers" is this is straight point not any representation of real life lesbians.

Sigh.

😂😂😂

Omg that's hilarious.

They checked their thinking before using the word "lesbian" in pride month.

No one can be this narrow sighted. Surely this is a staged image or something?

Or maybe there's another pack for lesbians? Or did that one include real penis bearers as opposed to the shared toy penis?

This. So well put. I agree commercialism of sex toys aimed at LGBTQ+ community does nothing for the oppressed young teenage girls/ women or victims of FGM. Lovehoney, I never used your products before but I never will now!

There was another post on here not so long ago with a similar advert from Love Honey. It wound me up so much I emailed them, this was their response. Clearly they didn’t listen then 😂

And just as I was about to place an order to try and spice up my sex life......thanks LoveHoney, I'll be a fucking nun forever

Yes. Women end up feeling pressurised and coerced into oversharing. Just as bad as feeling 'shamed'.

Ohhh maybe

I saw a remote for a double ended dildo but could be a colostomy bag

That's all I was interested in or really noticed!
Honestly can't get worked up about this at all.

Completely off topic but is one of the vulva owners sporting a colostomy bag?

Ps somewhat related - I hate this current notion that the opposite of shame is commercialism. I don't think there's any shame in female pleasure. But I also don't think that a whole booming industry based around selling women all manner of gadgets they really don't need is particularly "empowering".

(I keep seeing really awkward adverts from various women on social media, usually accompanied by lots of "this is really uncomfortable for me to talk about, but I know it shouldnt be" type waffle. Privacy is not the same as shame. It's perfectly normal to keep some things, like masturbation, private. Lovehoney do not car about smashing the patriarchy. They care about selling over priced plastic crap to women with perfectly functioning hands/fingers of their own. End rant)
