LGBT [more specifically lesbians] and eating disorders? I read a very interesting article as I was researching the topic online.
www.divamag.co.uk/diva/features.a…
What are your thoughts/opinions?
Do you know of any lesbians with an eating disorder? Is it more or less prominent in them than in heterosexual women?
Any comments are welcome. :] |
Nice question!
I'm pretty surprised that it would even be something people would query: if lesbians generally have eating disorders less often than straight women. I am a lesbian (femme) and I did suffer from anorexia nervosa a few years back, and I know a straight friend of mine who also did. The gender thing seems much more plausible than sexual orientation in determining your "risk" for eating disorders, but, eh, who am I to say. I truly am the only lesbian I know in my area, so I couldn't tell you about the eating habits of anyone else.
But on another note, eating disorders such as that are ususally triggered by emotional discord of some kind. This is not uncommon in LGBT persons, so I would not be surprised if the actual percentages were far higher for us than heterosexuals. Self destructive behavior in general seems to be more predominant in the homosexual community than the heterosexual. |
Lesbians- What does it mean when a woman lifts her body up when I'm eating her out? I was going down on a girl and she lifted her whole body up and her legs got really tense around my neck. I thought that was a cue to continue to do what I was doing, but I think it was a little too intense for her. She was totally wore out and her womanly part got sensitive. So what are some sexual cues to know she is about to orgasm or that it is too much. |
there may be cracker-crumbs on the bed !

| Eating disorders have nothing to do with sexual orientation . Talk to your doctor. |

| you can get an std if she has herpes or hpv--these can be passed by oral sex. |
Why ate like almost all the lesbians I know hot and why is this so? I've just seen my lesbian friend and she's like hot but I don't don't like her but how come most of the lesbians people o know hot? |
| Because us lesbians are just sexy... we gotta attract the ladies ;P |
Christians, why don't you shrug off gays/lesbians just like you shrug off mixed fibers and eating shellfish? Isn't any deviation from scripture an abomination to God?
Or are there degrees of deviation? Like eating shellfish = a bit bad, being gay = way too bad?
If so, who sets those degrees of deviation from scripture? YOU? |
Most Christians don't follow the law of Moses or the Law of Leviticus....
If it's not i nthe New Testament they probably ignore it. And homosexual acts are in the new testaments, and as far as I know Jesus said it's not what goes in the body that defiles a man, but what comes out. Also, I never read anything in the NT about mixed clothes...
That's why they don't.
Personally, it's your life...whatever. But don't start thinking it's ok to attack Christians because they attack others...what does that help? Nothing. |
Why do lesbians only eat veggies and tofu? why dont they like the sausage? |
| Very funny. |
What do guys think about eating a girl out ? And how do you do it ? Just a little description im thinking about becoming a lesbian, and i want to eat a girl out, and i just want to know what you guys think and how to do it. |
| my bf says he practiced how to do it eating pudding out of a cup... dont ask me how this applies LMAO but he's pretty damn good at it!!! However when he 1st started he was kinda rough, I had to talk him through how I liked it. Now he knows EXACTLY what to do to ME. Every woman is different. Some like full force, others not so much. You kinda have to go in easy and like figure the person out. |
