Whenever had been the past time you saw or found out about a dental dam, outside wellness class, visit to the dental practitioner or
The L Word
?
For everyone not very positive what a dental care dam (aka the condom for lesbians) is actually,
well
they certainly were originally built to shield individuals during dental methods, but happened to be re-marketed for queer women as safe-sex instrument during cunnilingus.
Unfortunately, it actually was never ever highly popular from inside the lesbian community as, and a
2010 learn really found
that under 10per cent of lesbian women have actually used all of them, and less than 2percent regularly use them.

according to Mashable’s Heather Dockray
, the dental dam is lifeless.
Exactly why you may ask, well it isn’t just the development of the dam by itself that puts a stop to people from using them â it’s the (thought of) character of lesbian sex alone.

portrayed as « low-risk »
sex. But « low-risk » doesn’t mean no danger women.
