HIV and STD’s from Lesbian Tribadism

This is the, somewhat overdue, first post in the Tribadism Techniques series. This is a VERY IMPORTANT section as it will help you to understand and hence prevent the health risks associated with Tribadism, however, if you are mainly here to enjoy Tribadism erotica then you need not read this post.

All bodily fluids including vaginal secretions and saliva can potentially contain STD organisms so any situation where these fluids are exchanged holds the potential for STD’s to be transmitted. However, you will find very little on the internet about these risks during Tribadism because whilst The National Institutes of Health recognises that vaginal-vaginal transmission is theoretically possible, the chances are generally thought to be insignificant.

Those who prefer total protection should use dental rubber dams or plastic wrap as barriers. An alternative is to engage in Tribadism while wearing a thong or other underwear which supposedly doesn’t decrease the excitement experienced during intercourse for most women.

For the most part, the risks are low and certainly much lower than most other sexual positions, but it never hurts to be aware of the risks. Be mindful before doing, for example, a “Quickie” with an unknown partner since there is always a danger of an infection possible, as little as it might be. The NIH also recommends that women should refrain from tribadism during menstruation or when vaginal infection or disease is present.
