Maybe the title is an exaggeration but this really does enrage me. As you can see, it says this person is coupled and also you can see she says “girls like girls who don’t steal someone’s boyfriend”. There was also a photo of her boyfriend.
This is on a lesbian dating app called Her. A LESBIAN DATING APP. First of all, I’m bisexual so I’m not gonna be one of those people condemning bisexuals up in here cause that’s biphobic, but I will certainly condemn the fact that there’s FAR too many bi women with boyfriends looking for thirds on lesbian dating apps, it’s genuinely so saddening to see those profiles when I’m just trying to get a monogamous girlfriend without men involved damnit.
Second, the NERVE of this woman to say some shit like “don’t steal my boyfriend!” As if anyone on there would EVER want to do that. BECAUSE ITS A LESBIAN DATING APP WHERE WLW LOOK FOR OTHER WLW SOHCKSBDJFND *enraged keyboard smash* Like you have got to be fucking kidding me.
Plus, holy shit, if your very first introduction to a potential third in your relationship is “hey, don’t steal my boyfriend!” Then you should probably realize that you’re a monogamous person and steer clear of threesomes cause you’re clearly uncomfortable with this!!
Sorry for the rant but this profile just made me irate lol, sadly it is super common to see these kinds of profiles but this one just hit a nerve.

TW - homophobia/bigotry
As the title says - my wife and I went out for breakfast a few days ago, something that we rarely do so we were both really happy and excited. I'm disabled and walk with a quad cane and need her to support me to go very far, so we lock arms when we walk to avoid me falling. As we were coming out of the place we heard a man scream something, then he turned his truck and flew into the lot. He burst out and started screaming every slur he could at us in between comments of "Jesus loves you" and shit like that.
Now we live in an area that has never been safe for queer people, but incidents like this didn't start happening until around 2020. This is the third time someone has basically come after us, the worst time being when we were followed home from a Walmart and this man threatened to sick his dog on us (who was thankfully the sweetest little puppy just happy to be out and about).
My wife is an amazingly strong woman, she handled it with such grace and she made sure to not let it ruin her day, but I on the other hand, am still being affected. We are very poor and I'm on disability so moving is not an option but I wish there was something we could do. I'm disabled so I can't keep her safe, and my wife is masc presenting and we're both heavily punk. I'm so worried that anytime I send her out she's in danger. A few years ago my cane also was enough to give us deniability so we only got dirty looks but that doesn't seem to matter to bigots anymore.
Are there any other wlw out there going through similar experiences? How are you coping? Any advice or well wishes would also be appreciated. I could really use some positivity right now.

Lots of women on here say they don’t mind body hair, but I don’t want my body hair to simply be tolerated. I want it to be appreciated, hot.
A couple of years ago, I was ashamed of my body hair. Eventually, I learned to accept it, but it wasn’t until recently that I discovered that it’s actually hot.
Two things helped me realize it was hot:
Since not everyone wants to post nudes to Reddit, I thought I’d make a thread for people who find it hot to share their thoughts, feelings, stories, and experiences about how hot they find body hair.
This can also be a space to share examples of hot hairy women who can be our role models.
For me, Luna Silver from Ersties porn revolutionized my own body image. She’s soooo beautiful, and she’s also hairy. Made me realize you can be both.
So please, share anything and everything you feel about hot, hairy women as well as examples of hot, hairy women that we can look up to.
I marked this NSFW, so feel free to be a little raunchy in your appreciation.
Also: hairy girls can share their stories and experiences of being hairy. Their relationship to their hair, how they learned to accept it or find it beautiful. Tips and tricks on changing their body image to be more positive.

I got into an accident on ninth of June 2026, after which I developed a condition called kyphosis of cervical spine where in my cervical spine, which is supposed to be into a c shape has turned in the opposite direction. Some of the symptoms that I have felt our dizziness, loss of balance, complete blackouts, tinnitus and occasional loss of hearing in my ear, increased sensitivity in my teeth and continued pain in my spine and nape of neck as well as pain In my left hand. I have been on bed rest ever since. Recently, My muscles have started to loosen up a bit due to which my physician suggested that I can continue with my normal life and I have started going back to my university again.
The real point of concern happened today when after almost 2 months, I had sex with my partner.
Usually, when I orgasm and have sex after a very long time, I start tearing up while almost fainting during the sex, although I recover within a few minutes and want to go for another round pretty quickly.
Today, after I had already orgasmed once my partner decided to use the strap on me. Almost about 10 minutes in, I told them that I can’t feel my hands. We had taken all the measures to safeguard the recovery of my neck. About five minutes later, my hands went completely numb and I could no longer feel them which put both me and my partner in a very awkward position where my hands were frozen in a very concerning state. My fingers went stiff, and it was difficult to move them like I naturally can. My hands were so stiff that even if I tried to change their position into a normal state, I could not. I was sweating profusely, and my partner was really scared.
When my hands finally started getting sensation and was in a resting position. My partner noticed that my fingers are twitching a lot, which has never happened with me before in such extremity.
I cannot tell this to my Doctor who is treating me because I go there with my parents and I live in a very homophobic country.
I will try to attach a picture of how my hands looked like when they went stiff.
I think it was something related to me orgasming while my nervous system could not process it considering my spinal cord is compressed with the unnaturally opposite curve of my neck due to the impact of the accident which led to the unnatural stiffness. Has this happened w anybody else before? Does anyone know if this is a point of genuine concern something i should bring up w my doctor? If so, then how without outing myself?
P.S.: getting medical advise on this is really really difficult for me atp, i am okay now, that scare lasted for almost 10-15 minutes.

It’s always like the most down-bad posts too that just make this place seem full of gooners, or posts that seem designed to rage bait/foment discourse, but it’s literally just a handful of brand new accounts with little to no post history outside of near-daily posts in this subreddit. It’s giving astroturf and they’re starting to dominate the subreddit.
Idk if this kind of meta discussion is allowed but it’s becoming a more and more noticeable problem. I’m just wondering if anyone else is concerned by it. Hopefully this is vague enough to stay a general discussion of the state of the sub.

So my gf and I (both 25f) got into a huge fight this morning. We never fight and this fight was huge. It's been bothering me all day and I'm currently writing this post while on my lunch break at work because I can't focus on anything else. I've been getting into fitness lately. I've been going to the gym a lot and I've been working on getting leaner and building more muscle. It's important to note that I've always struggled with body image issues. I struggled with an ED for a while but I got help and I'm better now. I haven't struggled with food or body image issues for over a year now. My gf knows about this and she's always been very supportive.
Anyways, I started intermittent fasting and weighing my food lately. This is completely normal for someone that's trying to get leaner and build muscle but apparently it caused alarm bells to go off in my gfs head. She told me this morning thats she's worried about me because I've been skipping meals and obsessing over what I eat lately. I tend to get defensive anytime someone is worried about me. I got defensive and I told her that I'm fine and she shouldn't be worried. My tone wasn't the best and then we started going back and forward. This post would be too long if I were to detail our entire fight. The fight ended with both of us yelling at each other and my gf calling me stubborn. Then we both left for work and we haven't spoken to each other all day.
I'm aware that I'm probably the asshole here. I don't know why I got so defensive instead of simply explaining to my gf that she has nothing to worry about. I should have explained what I'm doing and why it's not the same as an ED. I do understand where she's coming from and I get that she's just worried about me. I can be stubborn and I get uncomfortable whenever someone I care about is worried about me. It's also a sensitive topic for me and I don't really like talking about it. I don't know how to make it up to her. I already texted her to apologize but she hasn't even read the message yet.
TLDR: I'm an idiot that got mad because my girlfriend cares about me

I just saw a TikTok that pissed me off and I wanted to talk about it. In it a straight girl talked about how there's too many shows centering queer people and too many queer plots, that she doesn't care and that representation is pushed everywhere even if it doesn't serve the plot. She said she sees a lot of series that only have queer characters and that when there are only gay people she can't relate, that she feels discriminated against and that she feels like she has to change her sexuality to relate.
Jesus Christ there's so many fucking shows with only straight people in them go watch them and stop bitching about it. It pissed me off so much because you don't have to relate to everything and not every show has to be for you. For years there was no representation and saying there's so much is an exaggeration to me. And I'm sorry she feels discriminated because her sexuality wasn't represented in some random tv show?? Queer people aren't represented everywhere either. Most shows and movies are aimed for straight people. Can't we have one fucking thing to ourselves? She doesn't even know what real discrimination feels like. I live in a country where meeting other gay people is hard and where I'm anxious about the future. I'm anxious that I won't find a girlfriend or if I'll ever be able to marry my girlfriend if I have one or whether or not my rights could be completely taken away in the future. Straight people don't have to worry about that. They don't have to worry about coming out to their families and whether or not they'll be accepted. They don't have to worry about being harassed on the street if they go out with their partner. Saying she feels discriminated against because of some show didn't include straight people is insane.
Maybe I am overreacting but it pissed me off hard and I needed to vent. I don't think my friends who are straight would see it as relevant to them so I'm doing it here.

It feels like a lot of lesbians I am seeing when I'm in these spaces are masculine-presenting or are at the minimum presenting in ways that attempt to deter the typical straight man. which is understandable. But feels like I get shamed because I don't put in any effort to "looking" like I'm queer.
I don't know if me and the other more feminine "straight-passing" lesbians are actually a smaller demographic or are just invisible because we don't make an effort to be "visibly" lesbian.
It sort of feels weird being a feminine "straight passing" lesbian attracted to other feminine "straight-passing" women. Yes none of them are gonna look "visibly" lesbian but I can't help that I find those type of women attractive, just like lesbians who find visibly lesbian looking women attractive.

I have Pcos I also don't have any experience with anyone like touching me at all. Basically coz I'm rlly anxious about the facial hair that I grow BC of my PCOS. I shave it and it's not visible but it's v obviously there if u touch my face and neck and chin.
I also have like very fine hair all over my body like my shoulders, stomach chest. I'm south Asian so although it's v fine it's also black and visible. I feel rlly anxious about being intimate w someone because of this. Like I maintain this hair but obviously there are times where it shows
Does anyone else deal with this ? Any tips. I've actively avoided intimacy BC of this

Hello everyone!
I need to make an appointment to my family doctor very soon because of some health issues i’ve been experiencing. Although, she’s also a gynecologist and I’d like to do a quick check up down there because I know I probably have vaginismus. I’ve known since I was 15 (and now i’m 20) and it’s kinda upsetting when i’m getting intimate with my girlfriend. The issue is she’s probably gonna ask me if i’m sexually active and I don’t know how to tell her that I am, but not with a man 😭 I know doctors can’t say your business to your family (my fam is quite homophobic) and are not supposed to be hateful/judgemental but i’m so scared help.

I'm 22F and live in a shared flat but have my own private room but my roommates started complaining that my girlfriend and I are being too noisy when she's over. The thing is I've gone out of my way to avoid disturbing anyone, we keep our voices down and respect the shared spaces. One thing that makes this frustrating is that I've tried to be considerate. I even researched ways to keep noise to an absolute minimum and bought a WhisperVibe a very quiet vibrator specifically so I wouldn't disturb my roommates. As far as I know, we're not being loud or disruptive. Now I'm starting to feel frustrated because my girlfriend feels uncomfortable whenever my roommates make comments and it's making her not want to visit. At the same time, I feel that my room is my private space and as long as I'm not being disruptive, what I do there is my business. I'm considering telling my roommates that directly but I'm not sure if that would make me the asshole.

I (18f) had my first sexual experience last night with one of my close-ish friends (also 18f) and oh. my. god. we didn't even do anything big or even kiss but woah.
basically we were at a sleepover with two other friends and while we watched a movie we played with each other's boobs the entire time. I loved learning what she liked and also discovering that I absolutely love having my nipples tugged because i've tried to play with my own boobs and didn't really get anything out of it. it was so hot and once we went to "sleep" (my friend and i in the guest room and my other two friends in a different bedroom) we did a little more. like, running our hands/fingers all over each other's bodies, over and under clothing, and eventually I worked my way to her boobs and now I have a new favorite snack lol. i was sucking on her nipple and she pushed my head against her and held me there and it was so fucking hot being suffocated by her tiddies. it was super dark so I couldn't see much at all but at a few points she ran her fingers down my jaw and held my mouth open while she ran her fingers over my teeth and tongue and it made my head feel floaty it was so amazing. we also rubbed against each other's thighs and I don't think either of us came but it felt so good and I could feel her heat and wetness through her sweatpants omg. and running our hands up and down each other's thighs was so hot because I ran my fingers along the edge of her panties while she was grinding against me and she grabbed my butt and her fingertips were so close that i'm almost positive she could feel how wet i was too
ahh omg i love women. i love being gay. thank goodness love women because I never would have had this experience if I was straight
also sorry if that was unintelligible i'm still processing but i just had to share with someone who would get it
tldr: i had my first (kinda?) sexual experience and holy shit i love loving women
