Being a lesbian can be so fun.
I wanted to know what other wlw felt about being wlw, so I decided to conduct a study.
Once I saw that they had a lot to say, I took it even wider.

Honorable mentionables include a larger closet, someone to do my eyebrows, and boobs.

Its like when dogs see other dogs and they get really excited.
Editor’s Note: Can confirm.

4.I love the connection and sense of community.
Also tiddies Rachel O., 22, Dileans girlfriend
5.I feel like I can be myself?
Idk how to answer the question.
I wouldnt be friends with half the people Im friends with now if I wasnt proudly out.
I have made many amazing friendships and connections through the LGBTQ+ web around the world.
was especially anxiety-inducing, because parts of me knew I didnt want those.
After coming out and living my truth so many things lifted for me.
Another answer = dual income no kids disposable income possibilities Amy.

11.The style.
Ive spent a lot of time thinking about this, and ultimately…
I DO prefer traditionally feminine and domestic roles.
I like to nurture.
I like to take care of my home.
It makes me happy to do that stuff for the person I love.
My partner is much more butch and does like to gravitate toward more traditionally manly roles.
Of course, we stray from that here and there, but usually, we follow a predictable trajectory.
In a straight relationship, I think Id always wonder if certain roles were expected of me.
I am grateful every day that I dont have to wonder about that.

14.Its doing whatever the fuck you want.
And boobs of course.
Wanting to own a farm?
Nope sorry shes ours now.
If that means how society looks at us or just how we process our daily lives.
Also, a double wardrobe is an awesome perk!
Like men and women are socialized so differently that we have such extremely different life experiences.
So the shared knowing between women is unbelievable to me.
Theres just something so vital about gay sex.
Plus, lesbian sex rocks.
Its the best thing ever.
Its all about pleasure and theres something really meaningful in that give and take.

20.Its girls night every night.
Were both free to be whoever we are.
I never felt like I was enough not submissive enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough.
Or like I was too much too outspoken, too sexual, too emotional.
I know we like to joke about it, but theres something spiritual about gay magnetism for me.
Idk I love all of it man.
But mostly the boobs.
You and your partner are allowed to decide whats right for your relationship.
There is so much more freedom in a wlw community!
I am happier than ever and love inspiring other queer women to explore themselves and to push the normal.
Which is beautiful even if I feel bloated.
Like, I love her.
Thats my favorite part.
Being able to put 17 random lesbians in a groupchat and watch them immediately make friends with each other.
Oh, and boobs.
