Use of surgical gloves when sticking your fingers into your partner's vagina or ass, especially if you have tiny cuts or rashes on your hands. And all the other wonderful things that lesbians do together. It's important that we don't deny our feelings. If we be who we truly want to be in our hearts, we can be surprised at how happy we can be. It helps me to interact with people who make me feel happy and good about myself.
All people have a right to feel good about themselves.
We're all valuable human beings. Developing self-esteem is very important for young people. It's hard for gay and lesbian youth to feel good about ourselves because all around us are people who believe that we're sick, or perverted, or destined to live very unhappy lives. When we feel like we have to hide who we really are, it can make us feel like hurting ourselves, like through alcohol, drugs, or suicide. We may feel very isolated, fearful, and depressed, especially if we've had no one to talk to about the fact that we're lesbians.
