A few days ago, on a normal coffee shop discussion, someone asked me a question; 

Do lesbians in Kenya practise safe sex?

What about those school going young girls who have just been introduced to the practise?

Other than choosing a partner carefully and maybe taking a test before starting a serious relationship; how else can lesbians practise safe sex?

“Dress up that dildo with a durex condom before you share it?” Are students allowed to go with condoms to school; if so, what reasons do they give. And are these the same schools where we are hearing sex toys are being smuggled and a dildo being shared amongst 5 young girls?

With the practise of oral sex in most lesbian relationships, how can protected sex even be an option for lesbians? In other states, most of ‘em chose not to use barries/protectors;- apparently because the whole experience loses its essence. Another reason being that the only protectors/barries that are available like self-made ’sex panties’, latex golves and saran wraps are really uncomfortable. 

Do they even understand the risks involved in the practise; especially in a community like ours where a lot happens behind the closet; even lesbian meetings/communities which can be used for education are also very secretive. You won’t even know they exist until you actually attend one!

 The worst thing is that most people, hide their true sexuality (even get married)  and unleash their true nature only when they get the chance. How is this bad?-when are the times one feels extremely daring? 

Mostly when they are ‘high’..which is probably when they go out dancing n drinkin. And maybe even eventually end up having a one night stand with the lass who takes her fancy

Almost a year ago, VCT centres said they had counselling sessions for gay people; have they implemented this and are lesbians visiting these places without feeling stigmatized?

 Is information and education on how lesbians can protect themselves available? And is the information disseminated in the right way-without degradading them?

 How far have scientific efforts gone to develop items lesbians can use to protect themselves?

 REMEMBER; There are no condoms for lesbians…….
