When she kisses my neck

View on Reddit

Her reaching out to me was a blessing. I’d had sworn off love after years of kissing strangers at bars, loose hookups, and chatting with random women. I was done with it. I didn’t want that, I wanted real love but I didn’t think it was my time. Then she messaged me on instagram. She called me pretty. We started talking and that night we call on the phone until the sunrise. We organized a date later that week, we meet had gifts for each other and by the end of the night we were girlfriends.

It’s been two weeks now, and even though we’ve just started dating I don’t want anyone else but her. She understands me and feels so so deeply like I do. Our connection to one another is like no one else I’ve ever met. We clicked so so so quickly! We both want the same things in life! It’s incredible! I wasn’t expecting this! But I’m so thankful that the stars aligned and introduced me to my lover!

I’m the luckiest person alive!! :3

Just finished reading Hungerstone, and absolutely loved it. It is the book that finally made me understand the appeal of vampirism in literature.

I also love her writing and am planning on reading the rest of her books. To anyone who has read her books, is Bitterthorn Worth it??

Recognize this photo? Looking for name of artist

I got this sapphic photo from some website and it was a part of a series of queer photos that a photographer took. I printed it into a poster. I am trying to find the artist and the name of this photo. I’ve done Google searches, and image searches, and I just can’t find it. Wasn’t sure whether to post here or some photography sub but thought it might be a quicker ID here

Are pigeons doves ? 🕊️

Some notable replies:

RayDuskDawn: I'm so happy for you!!

Sharessa84: Those are cute ass cocktails. By coincidence, I went on my first date with my last gf at the SAM. EDIT: Also, to answer your last question, pigeons and doves are interchangeable. Just two different names for the same clade of birds. Other languages usually just have one word for them.

I’m just feeling really lonely and I need to go meet some other lesbians and just shower them in affection and hopefully find someone who’ll love me back.

Yes this is childish but goddamnit, I’m so lonely and gay.

Never posted here before but I’m totally curious what people think. What sapphic book do people genuinely have beef with and why?

Mines is falls from grace. I didn’t hate it persay and there were things I liked, I was just so frustrated by certain events and decisions these characters made (And how the end was kinda rushed in a way that confused me)

Highlights from the comments:

Heycheena: Bloom Town Genesis. Everybody seems to love this book and it's constantly recommended, but I absolutely cannot root for a romantic pairing where one person is so needlessly cruel. And I can't believe that someone subject to that much abuse would be secretly thinking oh but she's so hot! I DNF'd it in disgust. Enemies to lovers is one thing, where they're on at least moderately even footing, but this was just one character innocent and powerless and scared and the other one being a complete monster. No thanks.

Itsshrovetuesday: Very unpopular opinion and I mean no judgement to those who enjoy but the entire age gap trope is just not for me. I'm not talking 5-10 year gap, I'm talking massive age gaps. They're often written with questionable power dynamics too (boss/employee). If they're old/young enough to be mother/daughter then it's a no for me, dog.

Flohara: I have beef with people who promote a vaguely sapphic book as lesbian romance. For example A Dowry of Blood is a queer book, but it's been mis-promoted. The wlw content is a side plot, most of it is about an abusive man. I also don't like when YA being sold to adults as just romance. For example the Absinthe Underground is a really cute book, but it's quite...young. It's light hearted, sweet, a teen book. In this case it's not the writing that's the issue, but LGBTQ content being automatically labelled as adult. I imagine in fears of being censored, but still pisses me off. And I have issues with poor worldbuilding in romantasy. I expect fantasy to take me out of the current world, to have a more slow paced, handcrafted feel to things? The Orc and Her Bride by Lila Gwynn is a good example of this. Yes, I know it's indie, but I feel like it's been released too soon. The world is a bit cardboard cutout, and the characters are a bit one dimensional. Could have been great, if the author had a few people to brainstorm with, and would have done some more research. The issue isn't even one of the two FMC being unlikeable, more like nobody having any depth.

Uracowboylikeme: I’m tired of books that are marketed as lesbian or sapphic but have a heavy male storyline. I don’t want to read about men. The 3 Ashley Herring Blake books I’ve read had way too much male involvement, I hated it.

Swxm: Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo bc it’s always talked about as the ultimate sapphic book but from what I understand a bunch of the book is not actually about sapphic relationships? (Idk I haven’t read it bc the mere presence of men in fiction annoys me lol)

This person wanted casual and I’m not into casual. I considered it but ultimately it’s not how I’m wired so I decided not to sleep with her. Her reason for ending it was due to me not being super sexually experienced with women. Which really hit at a core insecurity I have since I came out later in life. It’s really hard being late in life and also demisexual since it seems like most want casual and I’m not wired for it. Has anyone else ever gone through this?

Mission accomplished 🫡

View on Reddit

for context my girlfriend and i have been together for 3 years. this is not my first relationship with a woman i was with one at 18 however the times i was intimate with her she did not want me to do anything to her. after that i was with a man and i did go down on him and hated it. i’ve done just about everything else with my current partner and it’s not that i do not want to i’m just not sure what to do or really anything. my girlfriend has told me that it doesn’t bother her every time i bring it up but it bothers me. any advice or literally anything to get over this. i really like her and i definitely feel less queer because of this. especially since i used to be with a man. i really want advice from actual queer women.

A few replies that stood out:

Secretnewbeginning: hi! im the receiving partner (or pillow princess lol) and my gf and i tried having her eat me out a few times but she didn’t enjoy it bc she has like texture issues)? so we haven’t done that ever since and its the same situation as you, i’ve told her i don’t mind bc i wouldn’t want to force her to do anything she isnt comfy doing so if i were you, i’d communicate what you last said to your gf and im sure she’ll support and validate your feelings 🥰 everyone has preferences and thats totally okay!

Miss_White11: I mean like as far as, ~practical~ advice goes, take it slow, pay attention to how she reacts and what kinds of touches she likes, remember to breath, you are experimenting so try stuff out and pay attenton, generally focusing on the clit is a good idea, but don't feel like you can't explore. Alternate between licking and sucking and kissing etc. feel free to still use your hands either by penetrating or like grabbing her hips/butt/waist or up and her chest. Wear a hair tie if your hair is long. As far as like ~psychological advice. 1. You aren't less queer cuz you haven't done or don't like a particular sex thing. You clearly love your girlfriend very much and that is very gay. It's ok to try things and like or not like them. 2. Also annecdotally, dick is very different in overall feel in my experience so not liking one isn't necessarily comparable. (There is some nuance here like hrt definitely muddies this line, but in general it's like a eating popsicle vs. an ice cream sandwich) And it doesn't have to be all or nothing either. Idk what your preferred current ways to get down are but like you can definitely like get a tease by like kissing all over her body or like trying it out for a bit before moving on to the "old reliable" method of getting each other off.

JROppenheimer_: Lick and suck things till she starts making happy noises and keep doing that.

RollingStoneFamily: When I was 21, I was too scared to be out so you and your gf have an advantage over me! I finally came out at age 29. I didn’t date or go to a bar to meet other lesbians for over a year. When I met my first girlfriend, she made me a pillow princess. I did not understand this and didn’t even want this but learned she was very butch. When Pride Month came along, she finally decided she was not so butch anymore and I had my share of fun with her! At first, I moaned and licked her but the braver I became, the more I tried, the more

Swxm: Well I don’t have any advice but rather experience to share. Both me and my wife are gold star lesbians and neither of us like going down on girls 😩😅 I’m always reminding people you don’t have to be an eater to be valid!! Lots of straight girls refuse to go down on guys and no one ever questions their sexuality bc of it. You can eat or not in the future but if you never get around to it, it really is not a big deal!
