Women, alllllways with the foosball
I don’t know if many of you frequent the LGBT friendly adult shop, Babeland. But, they recently announced that their Brooklyn location will now be delivering! I’m pretty sure this is the first time an erotic store ever decided to deliver their goods This is great news, especially for lesbians. Ermmm…you can draw your own conclusions why.
Anywho, in celebration of this momentous event. I’ve decided to share my sad tale of a night without a happy ending.
A long time ago in Brooklyn, way before Hot Femme was married, she lived in a tiny apartment at the edge of Park Slope. One night, she went on a date with a lady friend who decided she wanted to see the inside of Hot Femme’s…apartment. The only problem was…there was no protection at Hot Femme’s apartment! No dams, no gloves. So what are two hot young dykes to do? The girls went to three drug stores and one sex store (who will remain nameless) and came up empty. So they got some ice cream and went to sleep instead.
The. End.
Condoms are sold everywhere, constantly, they probably sell them at Disneyland. But gloves and dams are much harder to come by. Guess who sells them? Babeland! Now no one has to pass on surprise sex because they don’t have gloves ready and waiting. Do you guys hear that? That’s the sound of safe girl-on-girl action in BK.
Hey Hot Femme,
I love your blog (especially as a New Yorker!) I’m a lesbian doing research on our community (women who self-identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer, or questioning (LBQ))
Would you mind plugging my research on your blog? This is about making sure that our voices are heard!

Thanks! Of course. 😀
LOL! I have got, got, GOT to see Mickey Mouse skins!! ♥
That would be sexy times! :p
I have to admit to feeling a little stupid on this topic… I’ve honestly never given safe sex between my sweetie and me even a second thought. I mean… in the abstract, I know it’s important but in person I just feel like it’s just … well… “us”, and we are definitely exclusively monogamous. I know… I know…. that’s no excuse…. but after 4 years together it’s sort of like locking the barn after the horse has already escaped.
I mean…. I use latex gloves at the restaurant for my work… but just I can’t picture making love with them on. And that vaginal dam thing…. I’ve never even seen one…. it just sounds too much like wrapping her intimate bits with saran wrap. 😉
Oh gosh, if everyone is clean and monogamous there’s no real reason to keep the latex coverings! Enjoy your skin on skin action girl. 😉
Ohhhh… don’t worry… we are… 😉
But still… this is an important idea and it’s a good thing you are bringing it the attention it deserves. Especially for women my age who never ever got exposed to this sort of stuff in “sex ed” back in the day. Better safe than sorry…
Way to go Natasia!!
Aww thank you! 😀
Oh but this is sooo important! It’s weird I just encountered this issue. Although it is rare for women to give each other something like the HIV, it CAN happen…even between “committed” women. It happened to someone I know recently and totally opened my eyes. We think because we are lesbians we don’t have to worry about the pill or condoms or what not, but women are not always faithful to one another either! Good topic! 🙂
Thanks! 😀 It’s true, it can happen to anyone. So lez play safe 😉
i’ve known several women who have contracted cervical cancer causing hpv and herpes from sleeping with other *women*, so this has caused me to be extra cautious over the years! if someone isn’t willing to play safe in the beginning, then it’s not worth it.
Def! Anyone who says “no protection” isn’t considerate enough to start a relationship with.
Totally agree! I always had my doubts about safe sex practices within the lesbian community (it certainly differs from that American Psycho quote, when he’s convincing a friend to have sex with another girl in front of him: “It’s totally disease free”, bare in mind the novel/movie adaptation was set in the late 1980’s).
Ahh, delivery.. I can totally dig that. But I can’t help but to believe in the time I spend waiting, I’ll lose the urge – I believe in just being stocked up for any occasion! lol
LOL when I was single I NEVER planned for sex. Probably because it was so rare 😉
