and other diseases too?

Answer 1

Yes, you can get STDS from lesbian sex. Although it is less risky than other types of sex (for example, gay male sex), there is still a risk of transmission.

Now, if you KNOW she doesn't have an STD, then you have no worries- she can't pass on what she doesn't have. But I would caution against thinking this way- you have no idea how many monogamous people show up at clinics saying "But I KNEW that she/he didn't have an STD.". Can you ever really be sure? There are people who don't think they have an STD because the symptoms don't show, or don't show for a while, there are people who will lie about their sexual pasts, people who, for whatever reason, will knowingly lie about having and STD. So until you go down to a clinic and get tested and she can provide you with a clean bill of health, don't assume that you ever really, truly know if she has an STD or not.

If you want to have fully protected lesbian sex, these are the ways to do it:

Put condoms on all sex toys that you use, and make sure you change the condoms when you change who the toys are going to be used on. When touching her where there are bodily fluids (like vaginal fluid), use either latex gloves or wear a condom over your fingers. If you want to use your mouth to perform cunnilingus or analingus, just lay down either a dental dam, Saran wrap (but careful- don't get the new microwavable kind, as it's full of holes to vent steam and won't protect you!), or a condom that has been sliced open to make a square of latex to act as a barrier. If you do all these things, you should be pretty safe- you're just trying to keep her bodily fluids separate from yours.

And as for some things you can do, well, you can do anything that any two people can, plus or minus a few parts. There isn't one standard way to have lesbian sex, just like there ain't a standard way to have straight or gay male sex. Lesbians can:

Kiss, lick, bite, rub, grind, massage, perform tribadism (genital-to-genital contact), perform/receive cunnilingus (either one-at-a-time or simultaneously on one another), perform/receive analingus (if you're really flexible, you might be able to do it simultaneously!), receive penetrative vaginal sex (either with fingers/fists, dildos and other toys, or a strap-on), receive penetrative anal sex (either with fingers/fists, dildo and other toys, or a strap-on), be manually stimulated with the hand or a sex toy, do mutual masturbation (either on one another or simply in one another's presence), and so much more. The list of things that can happen are only limited by your imagination.

Hope that helps! Be safe and have fun!

Answer 2

Yes, even women who have sex with women have to take care to avoid STDs.

During oral sex, you can protect yourself and your partner from things like herpes by covering the vulva with a dental dam (a sheer sheet of latex film) or non-microwavable plastic wrap.

If you use toys together, make sure you cover the toy with an unlubricated latex or polyurethane condom. Change the condom when you're switching off with the toy so that your fluids don't mix with hers.

If you're grinding on each other ("dry sex"), keep your pants on so there's no direct genital skin contact. This will help you avoid HPV and herpes.

Answer 3

Yes, indeed std's can happen whether your gay or not
1 Herpes oral and vaginal - I highly doubt you will be worrying about the toys hygiene in the middle of passion
2 Hpv is now growing larger it is a std which can cause cervical cancer
3Bacterial vaginosis (BV). Although we don’t know for sure that BV is caused by a sexually transmitted agent, BV occurs more commonly among women who have recently acquired other STD’s, or who have recently had unprotected sex. For reasons that are unclear, BV is more common in lesbian and bisexual women than heterosexual women, and frequently occurs in both members of lesbian couples. BV happens when the normal bacteria in the vagina get out of balance. Sometimes, BV causes no symptoms, but over half of affected women have a vaginal discharge with a fishy odor or vaginal itching. If left untreated, BV can increase a woman’s chances of getting other STDs such as HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
4Syphilis. Syphilis is an STD caused by bacteria. Syphilis is passed through direct contact with a syphilis sore during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. If untreated, syphilis can infect other parts of the body. Syphilis remains uncommon in the general population, but has been increasing in men who have sex with men. It is extremely rare among lesbians. However, lesbians should talk to their doctor if they have any non-healing ulcers.
5 Pubic Lice itching
finding lice
6Hepatitis B Some women have no symptoms. Women with symptoms may have:

mild fever
headache and muscle aches
tiredness
loss of appetite
nausea or vomiting
diarrhea
dark-colored urine and pale bowel movements
stomach pain
skin and whites of eyes turning yellow

7 Gonorrhea Symptoms are often mild, but most women have no symptoms. Even when women have symptoms, they can sometimes be mistaken for a bladder or other vaginal infection. Symptoms are:

pain or burning when urinating
yellowish and sometimes bloody vaginal discharge
bleeding between menstrual periods
