Sex should be fun, but it can also be complicated. Welcome to Sexual Resolution , a biweekly column by sex therapist Vanessa Marin answering your most confidential questions to help you achieve a healthy, joyful sex life. Here, she answers a question about fantasizing about someone who is not your partner. It feels uncomfortable, and want to understand why I keep doing it. All that it really means is picturing a sexual scenario in your head. It creates a different kind of stimulation at the moment and a lot of people really enjoy that extra stimulation.
As far as first-time lesbian experiences go, experimenting with someone of the same sex is thankfully less taboo than it's ever been, thanks in large part to the work of LGBTQIA activists and creators championing narratives from all parts of the sexuality spectrum. Lesbian porn is the most popular porn category among women, and plenty of women are also reading lesbian stories on erotica sites. We asked women of all different sexual orientations to recount their first lesbian experience and same-sex encounters. Here are their stories:. In our early 30s my husband and I decided to open our marriage to some sexual exploration and went on a date with a couple. We immediately hit it off. While the woman and I kissed that night, we didn't take it any further—I think that we were both too nervous.

Meeting women to date and marry is notoriously difficult for women seeking other females. Not only is same-sex love and marriage between two women so rarely represented in the media—there is still no equivalent rom-com meet-cutes for women meeting women today—but the dating pool for queer women is just smaller roughly five percent of American females identify as LGBTQ. A friend of mine once ran a calculation in jest to prove that she and her wife statistically were meant to be, based on the exquisitely small percentage of potentially single, queer, Jewish women within her age group, alongside a smattering of other arbitrary qualities she liked.
I remember the first time I watched heterosexual porn and feeling uncomfortable because of how misogynistic, aggressive, and male-centric it was. I swore off of porn for a while because I thought it wasn't for me, but then I discovered lesbian porn, and it turned me on in a way other videos couldn't. While it was a great outlet for my solo sexy time , I remember feeling confused about what that meant for my sexuality and questioned if it was something I should share with my long-term boyfriend. For some background, I am the product of two teenage parents, and they spoke about sex in only one instance-don't have it until you're ready to have kids very much Coach Carter from Mean Girls vibes. Growing up this way made me a very private person when it came to my sex life and interests, so I kept the fact that I liked lesbian porn hidden from my boyfriend for a long time.
