You know what this is going to be about.

I'm helping out.

Now, what about sexual preferences?

Who tends to get what and what shall you do to make sure everyone's healthy and just having the best time?

So patrons K8 Rouse, Ara Victor, Emily Burns, Joey Zweig, Honeydew, Moth, Charlton, Gabia, Shimatete asked about demographics in straight versus queer populations, and they were not the only ones.

We did have a question about that.

Honeydew wanted to know, are STIs less prevalent in cis lesbians due to the lack of risk of pregnancy and perceived lack of risk of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases?

It seems most cis lesbians are pretty lax about it.

protection.

Moth wanted to know, they wanted to know about this too.

And they think, I just think it can't be true since I've seen statistics of things like throat cancer have gone way up due to people having oral sex without protection.

So, you know, things like are different kind of sexualities more at risk for throat versus other types of cancers for that.

And again, this would be a good case for getting vaccinated as well.

Yeah.
