An Odd Request

[apple_pathways]

Ok, so if anyone could point me toward lovely, artistic-ish photos of two women kissing, the subtext of which is not, "Hey fellas, get a load of this!", I would be much obliged. Thank you.

Check out sex is not the enemy on Tumblr (NSFW LIKE WHOA). It's not scpecifically f/f (and lots of the pics go far further than kissing), but everything there is AWESOME and there's a f/f tag, as well as links to other f/f sites in the sidebar. What I love about it is that it features all kind of sexualities, body types, and looks - not everyone there is cover girl perfect and everyone looks like they're having fun :D.

You know what: I have that site bookmarked! I've been pointed to it several times by different people, but it gets lost in my maze of bookmarks. I'll head over there and check it out, thanks!

I was just crazy frustrated after trying my usual image searches and coming up with page after page of drunk teenagers kissing in bars. D: (Ok, fair dues, there were some pictures of actual lesbian lesbians, but they weren't of the quality I'm looking for.)

Bouncing around Tumblr is probably your best bet - there's also Fuckyeahgirlskissing... which is exactly what it sounds like, lol.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

OMG, thank you! I found the perfect pic right on the first page! ♥ Yay!

[ladybracknell.livejournal.com]

Yay! I love the b&w one right at the bottom with the girl with the plaits :D.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

Aww, that one is very sweet! I took the third one down, of the girls in the wigs. I love the colors in it! (It's for one of my Valentines, shhh!)

[ladybracknell.livejournal.com]

Oh I was going to say I love the girl in the pink wig too!

I love that we both capslocked the NOT SAFE FOR WORK part, lol.

I am no good at finding stuff like this. I wish there were more good pictures of lesbians that weren't "omglezzies!!" and clearly aimed at males. Of course, I wish the exploitation of female sexuality would end in general. I want to be able to announce that I'm bi without guys getting weird ideas about it, and I want people to be able to love who they love without being mocked or gawked at.

First: you should check out both the Tumblr sites that ladybracknell recommended! The first one (sex is not the enemy) is very much NSFW, and the second is pretty much...just kissing. Does what it says on the tin. ;) They both provide awesome, sex-positive visuals that are more "Yay sex is fun!" rather than "Grr, sex is demeaning and exploitative!"

Yeah, typing "lesbians kissing" and even "women kissing" into Google image search was giving me a sad. :( But, remember this: things are getting better. It seems sometimes like one step forward, two steps back, but that just means we have to keep pushing! *shoves*

I checked them out and have spent the past several hours in happy exploration of fascinating sex-positive and queer-positive articles all over the internet. Hooray!

It does feel like one hell of an uphill battle. Still, things are better, and I've seen myself how surprisingly positive people can be.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

Yay! Happy sex!

I'll tell ya what's a great pick-me-up: spending a day making digital Valentines for your flist. Good times! :D

[inkdancer.livejournal.com]

Truth. I spent 2 days working on mine and now have only my boyfriend's left to make (but he deserves an extra-special animated .gif because he's wonderful). I even made one for you! I can't wait for everyone to see them :D

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

I am making far too many! But I am about halfway done. (I finished yours!)

Ooh, animation! I haven't ventured into that arena yet. I am still honing my new graphics-making skillz.

[inkdancer.livejournal.com]

I felt like I was making too many until I finished. Then I felt like I hadn't made enough!

Oh, I can't wait to see mine. I'm sure it will be beautiful.

Only tangentially related, but I think you would enjoy this tumblr:

NOT WORK SAFE.

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

Yay sexy Tumblrs! I'm making Valentines for the ol' flist, and enjoying very much the hunt for visuals! :D

[rachel2205.livejournal.com]

I have a lot of sexy pics on my hard drive for iconning. Often of man on man action... Ah, livejournal roleplaying. :D

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

But what about the ladies, Rachel? WHAT ABOUT THE LADIES??? :P

[rachel2205.livejournal.com]

Hmmm I have less lady-loving than I would like. Though one of my female characters is now living wih a nice young witch. Yay!

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

I have no idea why, but that is unbelievably cute. :P
