I thought I should really just post to note that just as I sat down to plan our consultation on the Sexual Health Strategy, look what came on my random playlist

Where did you get your sex education about sex between women? First: reading books (pre-internet) Later: experience and experimentation Still later: internet - there are a lot of good resources with good information about sex between women
Considering I started this journey more than 20 years ago and I learned something new just last year, I don't think I'm "done" with my sex education. :-)
What do you think "safer sex" means, between women? Using a barrier for oral sex (dental dam, plastic wrap), using condoms with shared sex toys, avoiding exposure to body fluids. Frankly, while I've played with a dental dam once I have no idea where to get them on a regular basis, so I'd probably use plastic wrap instead.
Where do/ would you go for help with a sexual health problem? My doctor.
Where do/ would you go for relationship advice? My friends or a professional counselor.
Who do you talk to about sex and sexual health? Everyone I meet. (I'm not exaggerating much.)
And, in an ideal world, how would you have answered those questions?

Where did you get your sex education about sex between women?
I was blessed to attend an all-women's university, so I received most of my information there. Until then, the sexual education I'd received had all been about heterosex.
What do you think "safer sex" means, between women?
I think safest-sex (aside from abstaining) to mean dental dams and latex gloves. Honest discussions regarding past sexual histories and STD testing is also an important tool.
Where do/ would you go for help with a sexual health problem?
When I lived in the states, I would go to an NP whom I had a great relationship with and worked under for a few years. In the UK, I have no idea. I would have to do some research.
