Bisexuality: I Am Not A Postscript

Before I go any further in this blog post, I’m going to state the utmost respect and support I have for the Terrence Higgins Trust.

I shall attempt to be positive, at least we've been included! I too was of the opinion that girl/girl stuff was completely safe, it's only as I've read more and the most amusing scene involving a dental dam EVER (Metrosexuality), that I realised that there was any form of barrier protection for women.

Mind you, the awesome Bethan's workshop 'Safer Sex Supplies, come and have a fondle' has done more for my knowledge of all things fun than anything else. If you go to Cardiff BiFest, and she's there, I totally recommend it!
