Ladies,
I've been bi-curious for years. I think I've finally got up the gumption to try it. For those of you who have had a lesbian encounter, how did you get started?

I don´t know much about starting, but I can tell you something about ´being started´.
I brushed more than one lesbian encounters in my life, but only twice went all the way trough. The second one I will remember for the rest of my life like the most amazing thing that ever happened to me, but amazing doesn´t even start to describe it. Well I met this lady in a art exhibition, I was 22 and living abroad, for the first time in my life blessedly on my own, far from family and nosy friends. She was in her early forties, but a real beautiful woman, in a boyish, sporty, but also in a way sophisticated style. We chatted and met a few times, I drank pints of bad cappuccino to see her again and again, and then she invited me for dinner in her flat. I knew she was a lesbian, but I had no idea actually if she was just friendly or actually flirting with me (I was young....). Well, long story short, after dinner that eveningI went to the toilet to have a pee, and well, powder my nose, and when I came out of the toilet, after, say, five minutes, this blonde, leggy lady was sitting on the sofa, stark naked and with spread legs. To this day I wish I could have seen my face then. That, I do assure you, solved my doubts in a most effective and drastic way!
Thanks god, I was interested in her, can you imagine how embarassing if had been a straight and completely innocent girl? Geee.... But it was terrific, and no mistake. If ever in my life I get to be that sure of myself....
