Books about lesbian sex/relationships for a teen

Really struggling to find something.

I have age appropriate books for my other kids about sex, I cannot seem to find anything about lesbian sex, protection, relationships etc (the Google search results have been awful).

Shes a young teen, and I have got her books with coming out stories, and that have lesbian characters in them but I'm struggling to find any books that talk in a factual way about lesbian sex.

Does anyone know if anything that would be helpful?

In fact, does anyone know if this would even be helpful for her?

TIA Flowers

Honestly? She doesn't need a lesbian sex guide. She'll get her first girlfriend and they'll work it out for themselves, it's very intuitive I would say for 2 girls/women to figure it out. There are 'guides' out there but for adults and I wouldn't give them to a teen, she'd be overwhelmed I think because they cover EVERYTHING and she won't be interested in half of it.

As for safe sex for lesbians - the good news is that it's much safer than with boys and the chance of getting a STI is very, very low. Safe sex for women mostly is around keeping sex toys clean/or using a condom on them (if you use them and I doubt young women in a first relationship would) not giving oral sex if you have a cut on your lip etc.
I honestly don't know any lesbians mates who've caught STIs from other women. It's one of the big bonuses, along with not having to use contraception and no sexual politics in the bedroom. Can't tell you how many people I know who are married to someone who was supposed to be a ONS!

She read about 'dental dams' eventually, but I've not met a woman who's bothered with them.

Thank you, I guess I'll just have to help her as best I can when she asks me for advice. I didn't think I had too much to worry about, it would have just been nice for her to have a book to refer to, I have some great ones for my other kids, they aren't particularly inclusive though.
