When it comes to safe sex advice for lesbians, bisexuals, and other women who sleep with women, the medical professionals are usually at a loss for words. Doctors and nurses in this country have been programmed to throw a handful of condoms at anyone who appears to be even considering losing their V-card. Women are told from the time we are eleven or so (possibly never if you were stuck in one of those schools with an "abstinence only" program, thanks GWB) to make our male partners wrap it up. No glove, no love. Seems simple enough, and, thankfully, condoms protect women very faithfully against just about everything.
(Sidenote: Condoms don't prevent the transmission of HPV, y'know, that virus that causes cervical cancer and for which a vaccine exists that certain morons in this country want to ban because they think it will encourage young girls to have sex? Don't get me started.)
