Straight folk and Awkward personal questions



This is not my intellectual property. All credits go to this Canadian lgbti site I came across last night. http://idigyourgirlfriend.com , post by Dee. I wish I had thought of all this first…had me chuckling and nodding in agreement the whole time. I am sure you are all going to enjoy this.

Creative answers to THAT age old question.
We’ve all heard it. We’ve been standing nonchalantly in the corner of a party, or pouring coffee in the break room, or sitting next to an obnoxious frat boy at a crowded pub, and after introducing ourselves and our significant other, or even better, after the person has figured it out themselves, they ask, “So how DO lesbians have sex, anyways? Like, isn’t it just technically fooling around?“
I know. Every cell in your body is telling you to grab them a little too firmly by the shoulders, look deep into the vacant depths of their eyes, and whisper “GOOGLE IT“.
But, alas, we usually just fumble out something mildly sarcastic and hope the conversation quickly diverts to another topic.
So, since the straight population seems to find it perfectly acceptable to go around asking highly awkward personal questions, I’ve taken it upon myself to provide you with some equally awkward, much more entertaining responses.
Feel free to use these at any point!
1. “We don’t.”
This one is best executed when combined with a completely stone cold facial expression and locked eye contact. Trust me; their facial expression will quickly resemble that of a 2 year old who’s just had his nose “stolen”.
2. “The TMI”
With this response, they key is to just immediately jump into the most detailed, personal, gritty details of girl-on-girl intercourse. You don’t have to use actual details from your sex life, feel free to exaggerate and falsify whatever you’d like in this situation. Oh, and ten points for every time you use the words “fluids” or “excretions”.
3. “The Samuel L. Jackson”
“I HAVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THESE MAWFAWKIN HETEROS ON THIS MAWFAWKIN SUBJECT.” Be loud, be vulgar, be convincing. I guarantee you, it’ll be the last time they ever ask anyone about girl on girl anything.
4. “The Open Invitation”
Find the nearest, highest object you can stand on, and announce to everyone within a 2 kilometre radius that *insert name here* doesn’t understand how women have sex with one another, and that the floor is now open to the general public for tips, pointers, and educational demonstrations.
5. “The Interpretive Dance Explanation”
Okay, so, you’ve really got to commit to this one. But if you don’t mind making a mild fool out of yourself, this can be epic proportions of hilarious.
6. “The Burn”
“It’s kind of complicated. If you want, I could take your girlfriend home with me tonight and give her a private lesson and then she can relay the information back to you.”
7. “The Parent Talk”
“You see, *insert name here*, when two ladies really love each other, they show each other by kissing, touching, and being sexually intimate. Do you know what sexually intimate means, sweetie?” Use the most annoying, high-pitched, coochy-cooing Mom voice you can muster, and if you’re feeling extra condescending, pinch one of their cheeks.
8. “The Limit”
“Nope. Not today. Not today! This is NOT happening to me TODAY! You’ve got to be kidding me! I’ve reached my wits end! MY WITS END!!!”... Your social circle may question your mental stability for a couple days, but in the long run, it’ll be worth it 9 times out of 10.

9. “The Hippy”
“Dude. Duuuuuude. I don’t know, bro. How DO they do it?! Like, when you think about it man, like, its just like, intense, you know? Like, when you REALLY stop to think about it. Are you thinking about it? I’m thinking about it man. I’m tooootallyyyy thinking about it.”
10. “The Feminist”
Yup. I went there. Give him the full on lecture about social constructs and the moral implications of asking such a personal, crude and immature question. Provide them with a FULL list of educational resources that can best explain the process, if they are truly curious. Then proceed to explain to them how every relationship is unique, therefore the methods each couple uses to stimulate one another are unique to them, and that there is no “one way”.

They’ll apologize or return from whence they came before you finish. Every. damn. time.
