Duh.

Since when did sexually active mean "must involve a penis?"

I'm proud to say I've had lots of great sex that hasn't involved a penis at all.

(This post brought to you by my frustration at someone on one of the communities I read saying "unless you're totally sexually inactive, meaning nothing at all where a penis is involved")

(Mind you, I should know better than to expect people-especially young people, to think there's more to sex than sticking a penis into a vagina. And yes. There are exceptions. Some young people know there's more to sex than that. I just don't run into them very often.)

what was the description of lesbian sex that one of the kids you teach came up with that had us both laughing our asses off?

Bumping Fuzzies.

"It's when two chicks have sex."

I still find that one entertaining...though I'm embarrassed to admit that I can't actually remember the technical term for that particular sex act off the top of my head. *blush*

Oral sex on a woman is cunnilingus...is that the one?

[lcohen]

it sounds like you're talking about frottage--is that what you meant?

[geminigirl]

"Body to Body Rubbing"

I once did an eroticizing safer sex workshop (A Rubberwear party) in college, with another peer educator who kept mispronouncing frottage as "fromage"-I can't tell you how much it made me laugh.

No. Sex and cheese probably isn't a good combination.

My favorite frottage post ever.

Yup, you got it! Thanks for reminding me! :-)

'Frottage' in general, and specifically for two women rubbing vulvas together, it's 'tribadism'.

One of my gayer relatives once responded to a doctor's question about sexual activity with, "Yes, I'm sexually active." He then wanted (before prescribing her a particular medication) to know whether she could be pregnant. She said, "No way." He wanted to insist on a pregnancy test. She said no. He tried to insist. She said there was no way she could be pregnant. He said, "Anyone sexually active can be. There's no foolproof birth control, unless you've had your tubes tied." She pointed out that her lover was female. He said, "Oh, that's not quite the same thing."

A friend of mine had a humorous experience at her gynocological checkup.

"Are you sexually active?"
"Yep."
"Any chance you could be pregnant?"
"Not unless God's made it possible for women to impregnate each other."

". . . only if they're spitbabies." ;)

I'm sad that the doc didn't give me an opening to use my smartass line at my last checkup.

"Any chance you might be pregnant?"
"Not unless men have testicles under their tongues..."

A gayer friend of mine once replied to the college health clinic doc's question of "what's your birth control method?" with "preference".

[mactavish.livejournal.com]

When I saw my latest doctor, she said, "Are you sexually active?" I said yes. She said, "Men? Women? Both?" I boggled, said both, and thanked her for asking about that. Then I said, "And being as you used the plural 'men'. . ." and explained about deyo and joedecker. She responded, "Oh, cool!" She wanted to know how I handled safer sex, I explained, she was satisfied with my answer.

Oh that is just too cool for words. If I ever become a midwife, I want to be smart and sensible like that! Asking the right questions has got to be 95% of a good physical examination.

I remember asking for all sorts of clarifications on the stupid questionaire that I had to fill out at the doctor's office. Like, How would you define this? Where this was some totally ambigious and/or arbitrary identifier.
