Abstract objective: to provide a large number of lesbian and bisexual women\'s sexual history data to inform those who provide health care or conduct research with women who may have sex with other women.
Design: cross-sectional survey.
Settings/targets: 803 lesbian and bisexual women attended as new patients, lesbian and sexual health clinics, and 415 lesbian and bisexual women from community samples.
Main outcome indicators: sexual experience and sexual behavior of self-reported male and female partners.
Results: 98% of the total sample had a history of female sexuality and 83% in the past year, with one female partner.
85% of the samples reported sex with men; for most (70%)
It was four or more years ago.
The first sexual experience is often with a man (
Median age 18)
First sexual relationship with a woman a few years later (Median 21 years).
The most common sexual behavior among women is oral sex, vaginal penetration of fingers, and masturbation.
The most common sexual activity in men is vaginal insertion into the penis or fingers and masturbation with each other.
Conclusion: these data from the UK\'s largest survey of female sexuality to date suggest that lesbian and bisexual women may have different sexual histories with male and female partners. A non-
The way of judgment and careful sexual history records without making assumptions should help clinicians avoid misconceptions and provide appropriate sexual health advice for lesbian and bisexual women.
Methods during the 1992-5 year period, a questionnaire numbered \"self-completion\" was provided to all new patients participating in the burnhard or London Audley Lord gay sexual health clinic (
Clinical sample n = 803).
In addition to the clinic sample, a community sample was selected purposefully, including those who were different in geography, race, class and disability.
Groups or organizations were identified through the list of gay and gay media, and respondents from across England and Scotland distributed a questionnaire on general or sexual health after the focus group meeting and at the meeting (n=415).
3 Use the snowball approach to distribute further questionnaires to the contacts of the focus group participants.
All female respondents who reported having sex with women in the past or now, as well as women who did not have a history of same-sex but defined their sexual orientation as lesbian, bisexual women, gay, dikes khush or zami.
Those who describe themselves as heterosexual, who have no history of having sex with women, are excluded from research.
The questionnaire collected demographic data, a history of sexual behavior between men and women, and sexual behavior with female partners.
In addition, most community samples were asked about sex and safer sex with men (n=328).

The analysis was performed using a simple Chi-2 test of proportion, correlation coefficient and significance.
The exact response rate was not known;
Questionnaires were provided to approximately 1000 new attendees at two sexual health clinics in London;
803 clinical responses were received and analyzed.
A total of 1136 questionnaires were distributed to community groups (
Some of them may not have been sent);
415 of them were received and analyzed.
The response rates for individual questions vary;
Have a good answer to the Population Question (96. 2–99. 8%)
Poor answer to anal problems (77. 2–79. 7%).
In the case of only asking questions about the community grouping, this is shown in the results.
