Whether you\u2019re at the start of your sexuality journey or an experienced lover, it\u2019s always good to have some lesbian and queer sex tips on hand to ensure your beau has a satisfying time. And you, too!<\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019re focusing on 11 sex tips for queer women. These inclusive tips are for all who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/best-lgbtiq-dating-apps\/\">identify as queer<\/a>, as not all women have vulvas.<\/p>\n<p><em>Scroll down to get the lowdown and boost your bedroom routine ASAP.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>1. Don\u2019t forget pillows<\/h2>\n<p>When you think of queer sex, do pillows come to mind? Probably not. However, using pillows and blankets to lean on or prop your partner up can take sex from good to great. These take the pressure off your body and allow you to lay back and focus on the pleasure.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Oral isn\u2019t your only choice<\/h2>\n<p>Many boil lesbian and queer sex down to an oral-only experience. But this couldn\u2019t be any further from the truth. Alongside your tongue, make use of fingers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/evolution-of-sex-toys\/\">sex toys,<\/a> and strap-ons. The possibilities are endless, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with playing outside of the box.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Double stimulation<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re playing with a vulva-owning lover, don\u2019t be afraid to insert your fingers into her vagina while performing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-cunnilingus-tips\/\">cunnilingus<\/a>. This stimulates both the clit and vagina, which, for most women, provides stronger orgasms.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Use condoms on toys<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-condoms\/\">Condoms<\/a> aren\u2019t just for penis owners. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/guide-to-stis\/\">STIs can spread <\/a>through sex toys. So, wrap them up to protect your health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonus tip: <\/strong>Wash your sex toys after every use! Toy cleaner or unscented soap will work.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Cut your nails<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps the most important rule of queer sex. No one wants to feel long or pointy nails inside them! This can be painful, and cuts are an absolute mood killer. Go short, or don\u2019t go inside.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5503\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-2.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-2-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>6. Use delays<\/h2>\n<p>Hold back for a few seconds if your partner is begging for more. Using delays can make the moment even sexier and drive your partner wild. Rather than going for it, kiss her thighs until she can\u2019t take it anymore.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Start slow or small<\/h2>\n<p>Not everyone likes the same thing. Some enjoy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/double-penetration\/\">penetration<\/a>, and others don\u2019t. So, don\u2019t go all-in. First of all, ask them what they like. Then, start slowly with just a fingertip rather than a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-fingering\/\">fingers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Remember not all bodies are the same<\/h2>\n<p>Lesbian and queer bodies are all different. Some women have vulvas, and others don\u2019t. You can\u2019t apply one sexual formula to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, ask your partner how they want to be touched. You may also want to discuss how they want their gender or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/exploring-your-sexuality-as-lgbtq\/\">sexual identity<\/a> to be validated in the bedroom. This way, you\u2019re on the same page throughout.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Remember the thighs<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know the thighs are an erogenous zone? While eating out, pay extra attention to the upper and inner thighs. This area is super sensitive for many and can add to the experience.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Orgasm isn\u2019t the goal<\/h2>\n<p>This tip might stump some readers. However, it\u2019s true of all sexual encounters. Rather than putting pressure on reaching an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/age-and-orgasms\/\">orgasm<\/a>, just focus on the pleasure and sensations.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, you\u2019re more likely to cum when you simply enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hint<\/strong>: This is because they\u2019re less under mental pressure and stress.<\/p>\n<h2>11. Vary your oral technique<\/h2>\n<p>To newbies, oral sex might seem like a scary feat. You have so many options, but which will actually please your lover?<\/p>\n<p>If you have no idea and your partner hasn\u2019t told you what they like, the best method is to focus on kissing, licking, and gently touching the clitoris. Combine this with some larger licks to the whole vulva for a body-shaking effect.<\/p>\n<p>For the best experience, check in with your partner and ask what feels best during the act.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-1.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sex-tips-all-queer-women-should-know-1-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Lesbian and queer sex: How to communicate<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside the tips above, you must brush up on your communication skills. As with any sexual interaction, lesbian and queer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/sex-work-client-boundaries\/\">sex requires boundaries<\/a>, open conversations, and honesty.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to your partner about what they enjoy, and share your expectations and boundaries. Make sure you both give enthusiastic consent and check in with each other throughout the play.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding each other\u2019s desires and comfort levels will ensure you create a safe and sexy experience.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, no means no. If you or your partner want to stop at any point, you must listen and act accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if it\u2019s your first time?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If it\u2019s your first time having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/best-lgbt-films-to-watch\/\">queer or lesbian<\/a> sex, you might feel like a deer in headlights. This is completely normal, but you must still prioritise consent, boundaries, and communication.<\/p>\n<p>Be honest with your partner. You may even encourage them to take the lead. No one starts off with all the knowledge or skills.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s best to keep an open mind. Any stress or worries can distract you and take you out of the moment. Start with kissing and gentle touches, and see where your attention goes.<\/p>\n<h2>Why you shouldn\u2019t base your expectations on porn<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-a-porn-star\/\">Porn<\/a> can be a great way to visualise sex and get yourself hot and bothered. However, you mustn&#8217;t use it as an expectation.<\/p>\n<p>Most porn films are shot in several takes and have a team of set dressers, make-up artists, and art directors on hand to catch the perfect shot. So, expecting your love life to resemble a movie isn&#8217;t realistic.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, lots of lesbian and queer pornography is intended for heterosexual men to enjoy. This doesn&#8217;t mean queer women will enjoy it. But it does skip some of the more intimate moments and touches that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/lgbtiq-resources-in-the-uk\/\">queer<\/a> women prefer.<\/p>\n<p>Consider switching to ethical porn or porn made by women and queer-owned studios for a more amateur feel.<\/p>\n<h2>The takeaway<\/h2>\n<p>Embracing queer sex can be nerve-wracking, but it shouldn\u2019t be! As long as you\u2019re open, honest, and with someone you trust, the experience will be positive.
