I am a recovered lesbian. I was straight in high school and I started experimenting in college. I lived with my girlfriend (Katheryne) my last two years of college. But I wanted children. And she didn’t. We were together 8 more years after we both graduated from college. She decided she didn’t want children. We broke up soon after. I went out with three other women after that. However, nothing ever felt right. I knew a lot of great guys but never gave them the chance because I had all these other women telling me I was a lesbian. I met my current husband. He’s great. We’ve been married 5 years now. He practically got in a car accident when he heard my water broke! I love him dearly. I am so glad I stopped lying to myself and gave my children a chance to be in a wonderful family. I still stay friends with some of my lesbian friends but I end up spending so much time with my husband and children that I can’t alwas seem my friends from college. But we still spend time from time to time and I am glad I have stayed friends with them. They don’t bash me for being with a man. In college they told me that I was a true lesbian but I felt uncomfortable with that. However, now, they think it’s wonderful that I am happy. Maybe it’s the maturity through age. I appreciate them. This is why I have stayed friends with them. I am 34 and so is my husband. Life is definately good. My husband constantly tells me that we are going to be together for eternity which means so much to me. I came across your webiste from a friend. But I thought I’d add my story to add some irony.

~Love~ Stephanie

O.K., what makes lesbian sex not mediocre? ‘Cause, last time I remember, there isn’t a thing a woman can do that a man can’t when it comes to sex: Licking; fingering; kissing; you name it. Actually, a man can do more without the help of plastic toys–and yes, men can make women orgasm as much as women can–they both take just as long. Anyway, sex is pleasurable, but it also has the reproductive function. I think the issues here are dominance and love. Lesbians (lipstick or not) like making other women moan because they’re tired of making men moan. Lesbians also like feeling both sides of the love world: Boobies and cock. I’ve seen real lesbians, and they’re perfectly respectable, butch women. Anything else is communist, lipstick propaganda that is widespread throughout college campuses and that is orchestrated by White supremacists to prevent Aryan women from breeding with non-Aryan men. I’ve only noticed white women were lipstick lesbians–something to think about.

I love your 12 steps! I am so sorry it took you so long to come out. I came out at 19 and I felt like I had missed some good living!

Interesting comments and very humorous regarding the 12 steps. However, I’ve know *far* more lesbians who have decided to leave the fold for the “straight” life. We all know our share of “hasbians” out there.

Hi RSG,
I found your post through Jen’s re-posting on her awakenings blog and loved it. So much so I couldn’t resist adding another point to the list myself. I hope you’re not suspicious, but here’s my point number thirteen

13. We have searched the internet far and wide for lesbian films, lesbian tv shows, books with gay women and poems about sapphic love. And once we have watched all the bad ones, (wondered why Lost and Delirious is so melodramatic, wished there was more sex in Imagine Me & You), read the okay ones, cringed at the awful ones, and fully saturated ourselves with YouTube clips we finally admit to ourselves that we might like to go out into the world and try some sapphic love for real.

[…] J. (another RSG, about a year ahead of me in the whole process) and I came across Kathryn’s Recovering Straight Girls 12 Steps to Becoming a Lesbian and we just about killed ourselves laughing as we read the steps aloud. I just had to ask […]
