As a straight woman, I have questions for lesbians.
I’m sure that lesbians get asked questions all the time that make them roll their eyes. But, I want to know stuff like, what it’s like to fall in love with a woman? Do lesbians joke about straight people? If lesbians are attracted to women, why is it that some of them look butch? And, what does a vagina taste like?
So, I sent out a call to the Mamamia community to answer some of our burning questions, and since then, my inbox has never had more emails in it. We had hundreds of women wanting to be our official, “lesbian correspondent”, as they put it.
If you’re a little bit nosy like me, then let me share with you some of the beautiful, hilarious and sometimes, incredibly sad, responses that we got. (FYI: Let me just reassure that my intention is pure. It is not to offend, just to learn.)
To begin, this was a piece that a woman wrote to me, anonymously.
If you want to listen to the full episode of our bonus show, then listen below. Post continues after audio.
The first time I woke up next to a woman, it was amazing and terrifying. I literally tried to melt into the wall beside the bed. She reached over, grabbed my hand and said, “It’s OK.”
Of course, it was. For days afterwards, I walked around with this thrilling secret. I felt like a different person.

Interesting read, I think guys find lesbians fascinating as a masterclass in pleasing women, not just sexually but in general. Anyway, all power to them.
Haha preach, girl! And the whole "I don't mind lesbians as long as they don't hit on me". Well, get out of our clubs! And as for dressing like men, it's not only daft as who DOESN'T wear pants, but it also identifying one another. Less important these days as we have more safe spaces to meet women...
Yay for more lesbo talk on mamamia!
