College has a stigma as the place for sexual experimentation. While some women are eager to talk about it, others want nothing to do with it or even deny their exploits. Does it mean you have lesbian tendencies if you enjoyed a little one on one time with a dorm sister and her body? No, it doesn’t. In fact, when it comes to sexual preference, most girls who experiment with same-sex partners – in college or otherwise – are straight.

You can learn a lot through trying something new. Think of it as tasting a new kind of fish or taking a trip to a new city. It’s an opportunity to explore, one you may only get a short window to use to your advantage.

Why Try Same-Sex Partners?

Maybe it’s not for everyone, but at least consider what you can get out of same-sex exploration, and why you shouldn’t be shy about it.

1. Being intimate with another woman gives you a first-person perspective of how a female body works. While we know ourselves fairly well, there are parts of our body we can’t see, and getting up close and personal with another woman’s intimate parts allows you to learn more about how you look and what a man sees when he’s with you.
2. In addition, because you and another woman have so much in common compared to men in terms of body and even chemical makeup, you can intuit a great deal about what makes you tick. Consider that you have the opportunity to try something on another woman that you’d like to consider having a man do to you, so that you can see how she reacts and determine whether or not you like it.
3. In the same vein, women are more creative and likely to explore more areas of the body, whereas a number of men, though experienced and willing to try different things, gravitate toward sexual organs. Where on your body, aside from your breasts and vagina, are there erogenous zones? With a woman, you are more likely to identify the areas of your body where touching and kissing can really turn you on.
4. It’s an experience you’ll remember. Let’s face it – some men are forgettable. That sounds harsh, but a lot of us have been in that position, trying to remember this fling or that one-night-stand. But taking the time to share a sexual experience with a woman will lock in your brain, and you’ll always have that to look back on with fond memories.
5. There’s a lot less concern with commitment. Women are either ready to commit, if they’re into women, or easy to keep as friends without falling for them. It’s not like a night with a guy who seems perfect and then never calls again.

While you personally may take issue with the idea, this is a scenario where you shouldn’t knock it till you try it. Taking control of your sex life means trying new things, and a same-sex experience could give you a lot of insight to your needs and wants when it comes to sex in general.
