Lesbians and bisexuals do not have to deal with pregnancy as a consequence of having sex with other women. Any woman of reproductive age who has sex with men, even occasionally, needs to use contraception if they don't want to become pregnant. Lesbians and bisexual women are often subjected to harassment and discrimination based on their sexual orientation. If you want to talk with someone about your sexuality, whether you're lesbian, bisexual, or heterosexual, try a trusted friend, teacher, counselor, or someone at Planned Parenthood. Enjoying Your Sexuality Enjoying your sexuality is more than just having sex.
Women enjoy their bodies, their femininity, and their fantasies.
They value their potential to give life and cherish their desires for physical connection and emotional intimacy. It is healthy for women to be comfortable with their bodies and know what gives them pleasure. Outside images can frustrate what being a woman means to you. For example, the standard American fashion mannequin is five feet, eight inches tall and wears a size six dress. The average American woman is five feet, four inches tall and wears a size 12.
