NSFW Lesbosexy Sunday: Sex Hurts, Sometimes

allegralaviola.com

You’re bleeding. It hurts. Can girls get “blue balls.” What is that strange sensation. You can’t move your right arm. Your jaw keeps making this clicking noise. You can’t really walk. Rope burn? Carpet burn? You’ve been fingerfucked by a girl with rhinestones on her fingernails. Perhaps you’ve unknowingly had a tampon stuck up there for a week, or something of that sort.

Sex injuries are a thing that happens but people don’t really want to talk about — (although you sure do love asking about it on formspring!!) and when it comes to dyke sex, good luck on finding any information about this or that strange sensation on the internet.

That’s what we’re here for. Or rather, that’s what we hope YOU’RE here for because really, what do we know.

[SIDENOTE: PER USHE, most of the images in this post are unrelated to today’s topic]

According to a study done last year in the UK, around a third of the adult population – about 18 million people – has suffered an ache or strain either during or after bouts of passion. 1 out of 10 reported falling off the bed during sex and 1 in 50 reported “falling off the washing machine.” (is this a thing?) Also people break a lot of objects.

This MSNBC article goes into more detail about sex that’s landed people in the ER, also mentioning that most people are too embarrassed to seek actual medical treatment.

However, most of this injury-related research is focused on straight people. When our strap-on breaks, it doesn’t land us in the emergency room, if you know what I mean. Right.

So what we’re telling you is SHARE YOUR STORIES.

This information does not exist online so just go for it: cuts, pains, pulled muscles, etc. “Did it hurt the first time” seems to be a popular question.

When Effin’ Dykes shared her life-scarring story that many of you may not have been able to read because the ending is really gross and will make you never want to have sex again, many of you chimed in with your own stories:

“The next time your girlfriend comes home from the hospital and you are like OH MY GOD I’VE MISSED YOU LET’S HAVE SEX consider that she and her hands are covered in MRSA and for the next month you will have sores LITERALLY THE SIZE OF WHOLE WALNUTS.”

“A really awesome cute butch girl had long fingernails. She must have sharpened them or something, cause, um, ouch.”

“On a more serious note, my most recent ex scratched my clit (mildly), made my cervix bleed (I forced her to cut her nails after that) and gave me a uti (ok, that just happens sometimes, but still). I think this was all in the same week, or maybe the same fortnight. Ouch.”

“Clit scratching/pain is the WORST because you can feel everything and sometimes when all the blood rushes there from pain, you get turned on. And it’s confusing and weird.”

“So one time my girlfriend scratched open my clit with her lip ring, and it bled and kept tearing open for weeks. Girls, I know we love lip rings, but make sure your girl’s doesn’t have a sharp exposed edge to tear your clit in half. because it will take about two months to fully heal.”

There’s ways to make sex safer, obvs — latex gloves, finger cots, dental dams, condoms for strap-ons and lube. The Lesbian & Gay Foundation has a tiny little thing about what to do if sex hurts but if you wanna get specific, here’s a little more about fisting.

If you’re into BDSM, you can read up on prevention/treatment of BDSM-specific injuries here and ACT Toronto also has a formidable rundown on “safer kinky sex” with a BDSM focus . At QueerKink, you can find method & safety advice for Electricity Play, Breath Control Play and Wax Play.

(Also, unrelated to the injuries tip but found along the way — In BDSM is Play, the peacockangel, a professional dominatrix and “kinky atheist feminist submissive dyke,” answers some “questions” about BDSM and feminism and an old Jezebel bit on BDSM — Stop Telling Me What I’m Supposed to Like Dammit and here we have All Tied Up in Love, a Kern Valentine’s Day Special from Vice Magazine. Very NSFW.)

In conclusion, you should ask each other questions and talk about yourselves in the comments!
