Queer FAQs
The most common Cliterally community questions, answered.
Do I need to worry about STIs if I only have sex with people with vulvas?
Yes, it's worth thinking about. STIs like HPV, herpes, trichomoniasis and chlamydia can all be passed on through oral sex, fingering, scissoring and shared toys. Regular testing, dental dams, gloves and washing (or covering) toys between partners all help.
What is PrEP and who is it for?
PrEP is medication that massively reduces the risk of getting HIV. It's for anyone who could be exposed to HIV, whatever their gender or sexuality. In the UK it's free from sexual health clinics.
How do I find LGBTQ+-friendly healthcare?
Many sexual health clinics run queer-specific services, and LGBTQ+ charities often keep lists of affirming providers. If a service makes you feel judged or misgendered, you're allowed to ask for someone else or go somewhere else.
Do I need a label for my sexuality?
Not at all. Labels can feel affirming, and they can also change over time, or never quite fit. You're allowed to use whatever words feel right, or none at all.
How do I find a queer-affirming therapist?
Look for therapists who say they're LGBTQ+-affirming or have experience with gender and sexual diversity. In the UK, the Pink Therapy directory is a brilliant place to start, and you can browse our own therapist directory too.
