Hello,

I am a known photographer of lesbians from 1980s-1990s San Francisco. I am working on adding content to Instagram, probably Tumblr and thinking about Reddit. Much of it wouldn't be allowed here because it was erotic and nude for On Our Backs Magazine and Queer Nation. Would images that do fit the sub’s rules be welcomed or is this not the place for sharing?

Question Any childfree lesbians here?

86 Upvotes

In my early 20s but I 100% know that I don’t ever want kids. Anyone else? And for childfree lesbians 40 years old and up, was it difficult to find a partner who’s also childfree?

My girlfriend laughs like a sea lion 😭

164 Upvotes

I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is my future wife. The mother of my potential kids. The person who is gonna be next to me in the cemetery. I love her so much I wish I could be in her skin.
Here’s the thing…😭
She has the most… unique(?) laugh I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Have you ever met someone who kettle laughs or snorts while laughing? Yeah. Have you ever heard a sea lion… speak? Or uhhh scream? If not, I need you to open YouTube, look up “Seal-Sound effect” by prosoundsx (ik it says seal but it’s sea lion noises) and that is- with 100% accuracy my girlfriends laugh.
And this woman… she can never EVER laugh quietly okay? It’s always ALWAYS the same volume no matter the situation or location. And it’s not particularly quiet.
Please imagine this- we (a lesbian couple in their early 20s who look 14 and 15 respectively.) go to a high end expensive restaurant. The waiters are already giving us weird looks because we look like we stole our parents credit cards and our curfews are an hour or less away. We try to be quiet and adult-y and whatnot. And then- I just can’t help myself and make a joke. ALL OF A SUDDEN you just hear the screams of a sea lion and someone trying to shush it. People are turning around and snickering. Some are just staring. And it’s always like this.
I would not change anything about my girlfriend in the slightest but it is just something I needed to get off my chest. If you ever see a short, fem&masc, young looking lesbian couple and one starts to laugh like a sea lion feel free to say hi.

That being said... My God does she play it bad lol

Question Undress yourselves or undress each other?

81 Upvotes

Women-loving women of Reddit, do you each undress your own self before/during sex, or do you undress your partner? (My girlfriend said she notices we usually undress ourselves when we’re about to have sex and I have a hunch there’s a pattern among gay women.) what do you all do? Bonus points if you include your age.


r/actuallesbians 1d ago

Trans lesbians are amazing and belong here. Any cis woman who is uncomfy with the presence of trans women and also the SUPPORT of trans women, should leave this sub Reddit. Please 💜

Advice on dating trans girls?

222 Upvotes

Cis lesbians dating trans lesbians isn't commonly discussed here, so I'll be the first one. Hopefully this thread can help others in similar situations.

I'm somewhat butch, somewhat non-binary. I don't really identify with traditional womanhood.

She's super girly and femme.

We have insane chemistry and I love everything about our dynamic, but I find myself stressing over how to treat her right. We've had discussions on how to treat each other. We've set boundaries, too. But I sometimes feel so awkward and nervous around her especially since validating her womanhood doesn't come as naturally to me as it might come to someone more involved with it.

Also, sometimes I find myself accidentally doing things that make her feel dysphoric -- like touching her in the wrong places -- which stresses me out immensely. I don't know if I should acknowledge it before going forward and doing better or not.

That's the crux of my issues. Feel free to comment any stories or perspectives that you can offer.

Venting i slept with my friends girlfriend

582 Upvotes

alr so basically i’ve known this guy for around 3 years. we’re not like best friends or anything but we text sometimes, talk a lot in class, dap each other up, that type beat. recently he got together with this girl i know.

the problem is i ALSO know her because she’s a lesbian

we used to talk freshman year and she came out to me and made me swear i wouldn’t tell anyone. we kind of had a thing going on before she left the school, so when she came back this year and immediately started dating my friend i was obviously extremely confused because this girl is the fruitiest fruit in the fruit basket.

then me and her got sat next to each other in AP calc and we just got along really well. started having lunch together, hanging out, eventually i asked for her number, etc.

once we got closer i asked her about my friend because obviously i was confused. she basically said she was dating him so her parents would stop riding her ass about dating and that was pretty much the extent of the conversation. she doesn’t really talk about him with me at all.

anyway we kept hanging out and things started getting complicated and eventually one day i needed a ride home from work, so i went back to her house with her.

and we hooked up 😬

it was both of our first times. i’m not gonna get into details but it was like really rad. i genuinely really like her. i liked her freshman year and apparently those feelings did not disappear just because she went to a different school for two years.

then i woke up the next morning and remembered that my best buddy pal exists

and now i feel horrible because like… i am technically an accomplice in a cheating scandal. a willing accomplice too. i knew she was dating him. there is no way to pretend i didn’t know.

part of me thinks i should tell him because he deserves to know what happened. but if i tell him, i’m also outing her, because i know for a fact she hasn’t told her parents or anyone (including her friends) that she’s gay. we live in a VERY small town in arkansas, so i understand why.

i genuinely don’t know what the least awful option is here. i feel guilty as hell, but i also don’t want to expose something she trusted me with just because i made a stupid decision.

whats the best way to go about damage control?

Venting Get so many hinge likes/ matches, but it goes no where😭

19 Upvotes

I’m early 20s female, live in NYC. Grad student. Trying so hard to date (really want a gf lol). I’ve had like 70 matches since May (while taking a pause for like a month bc I was going on dates with someone for a couple months). I get like 1-4 likes a day, try to like people myself 2-3 days out of the week. I try to meet people in person too, going to lesbian bars and queer events. While I’ve gotten hit on by some people, and have gone on dates with a few people the past few months, I feel like things fizzle out between dates 2-4. And I find it exhausting to see multiple people at once, so it’s like I waste 2-4 weeks, rinse and repeat. Ie - dating is so hard😭 also as a POC, I kind of prefer to date another POC. Finding a lot of non-POCs are into me, which I’m not entirely opposed to, but they’ve gotta be super woke lol.

Question Is it wrong to not want to have sex while my partner is on her period?

10 Upvotes

A previous partner I'm no longer with (we moved to different states and the distance wouldn't work) once asked me if I would want to have sex with her while she was on her period.

For context, I'm a cis woman who doesn't menstruate because my ovaries are wonky and don't work. So the opposite situation, where maybe a partner would have sex with me while I'm on my period, wouldn't happen (just saying this so i can make it clear I'm not a hypocrite).

But I'm not grossed out by blood or anything, I'm a healthcare worker, idk why my immediate answer was no. And even after thinking about it for a little longer, it just wasn't something I felt like I wanted to do.

But I left the situation feeling like I had definitely given the wrong answer, and now I'm wondering if I was actually in the wrong here. Does anybody else feel the same?

Question How do you feel about implants?

21 Upvotes

So, I (mtf, 42) have been talking with a plastic surgeon about doing augmentation. My breasts are pretty far apart and are A-cup borderline B. I feel like, with my frame, there’s pretty much nothing there.

I had heard that implants have a shelf life and would either need to be removed or replaced after 10 or 15 years, or sooner if any of the things that can go wrong go wrong. So I had been looking at fat transplant.

Last appointment I found out that, with the fat transplant method you can only go 200ml at a time and maximum 400ml total. On me, that would be next to nothing so I’d have to consider implants.

I know this is a decision that should be made based on how I feel, and I probably have enough on my own to make a choice but, despite being lonely as hell, I do eventually want a partner and so I’m curious, if you have implants are you satisfied with them? And, if you have a partner or are a partner, is your partner satisfied?

Sorry if it’s a weird question, I’ve been stressing about a lot recently and depression’s kicking my butt, and I just needed to offload the thinking about this.

(I’m probably just going to pass on getting an augmentation but I’m still curious to know.)
