There are a few questions we didn't have a chance to get to at last week's Sex talks and Blow Pops meeting. So, here are some of the unanswered questions and their answers, well, the best answer that I can provide. :)

What are the risks associated with unprotected oral sex?

Unprotected oral sex can cause many problems. If the person receiving has a STI/STD they can transmit that to their partner, and vice versa. It's also important to remember that there is no such thing as 100% safe sex, only safer sex. Oral sex has a smaller percentage of risks than anal/vaginal sex, but it's still risky. Just remember to play as safe as you can and talk with your partner.

How do I dress like a lesbian?

Contrary to popular belief, not all lesbians look the same. There is no one right or wrong way to dress like a lesbian. If you identify has a lesbian, and you dress in such a way that you are pleased with the way that you are presented, then you look like a lesbian.

What are the top 5 sex positions for Gay/Lesbian couples?

Everybody has different things that they like/don't like. There hasn't been a lot of research into the favorite sex positions of Gay men or Lesbians. I can however, offer you this site for gay men, and this site for lesbians. Both sites offer various sexual positions for couples. Enjoy!

Why does it matter if an imperialist facist government acknowledges our marriages?

Same-sex marriage is a very hot political, and civil rights topic in our country today. There are over 1000 rights that married couples are receiving that same-sex couples are not. It is important to everyone for a different reason. Some demand equality, some demand recognition, some demand these rights. I could write a book about same-sex marriage, but what's important to keep in mind is that equality, that is, all those represented being treated with equal and just respect, has not yet been achieved in this country. We all have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, according to the constitution that built this country.

In a lesbian/gay relationship is there always a "lable" of man and woman? Does this make the relationship easier?

Once again, this type of thing depends on the couple, and the people involved. There are certainly couples out there who have a male/female role between them. However, not all are like this. It's important to know what you're comfortable with before you decided to see/date another person. Knowing your own personal boundaries and limits is of the utmost importance in relationships. Also, having someone that respects those boundaries is always nice.

How do women contract Sexually Transmitted Infections from other women? It's an exchange of fluids obviously, but please elaborate.

When there is an exchange of fluids between two women, through either oral, digital, or foreign object, stimulation it is possible for those fluids to contain some gross nasties that can cause a pretty big problem. UTIs can be caused by bacteria entering the vagina and making its way to the urethra, ureters, and possibly to the bladder. While this may be the most common STI via an exchange of fluids, if you think you've contracted a STI or STD from a partner, please make sure to contact your medical professional, and discuss it with them. More often than not, the sooner something is detected, the sooner it can be treated and removed from your system.

Best wishes for a fabulous week kids!
