25 Pictures Technically Not of Lesbian Sex According to Stock Photography

In the past we have shared with you two sets of pictures categorized under the “lesbian” “sex” tag on Shutterstock (the incredible stock photography service that hosts billions of images, most of which are fantastic and some of which are totally bananas) and commented upon their various inabilities to accurately represent lesbian sex.

But as we are all far too aware of these days, often the more compelling lesbian situation occurs not where it is intended to exist, but in the spaces between. I realized all the lesbian sex photos were hiding where they usually do: in Close Female Friendship City, population “Thousands Of Lesbians Having Actual Sex In Photographs That Are Not Tagged With “Lesbian.” That’s too bad, I could’ve found them a lot sooner!

Luckily I have taken the liberty of offering alternative titles for these photos. You’re welcome!

  7. Laughing SO HARD. I’m 20. Lesbian Who Doesn’t Do Breakfast Implores Her One-Night Stand To Head Home.

  9. Thanks for the laughs this morning. It was a needed distraction from thinking about having to explain my bruised eye (there was a flying book from a mad kid).

  12. Two things:

    1) This is the best thing I’ve seen on the internet in a while, and it prompted me to FINALLY get A+ — I’d been meaning to for a while, and this post really epitomized my feelings of “autostraddle is my favorite place to be online, no matter how trash everything else is, autostraddle will always be there with something amazing.”

    2) I sent this to my fiancé because she and I have this ongoing joke where, whenever we do something non-sexual but weird (example: try to fit into a bathrobe together to become a monster) one of us goes, “This is how lesbians have sex.” *

    *Note: if becoming a bathrobe monster IS how you have sex, I am so in support of you and am not trying to shame you. Party on.

  13. This post and this comment on this post reminded and inspired me to switch from Cobalt to Silver! Because I was a grad student back then, and employed now. Also, I am #24.

  15. I see myselffff

    I’m the ex in #1 pretending she’s ambivalent about her ex seducing her but inside her heart is pounding to feel that feeling again.

    I’m a switch in a relationship with another switch but have definitely been in the #8 situation when we’re both feeling bottom-y.

    I found the service top of my dreams like #17 but unfortunately she was married and also abusive.

    And I am SO #24 as I try to explain all my gender identity issues around sex, my weird kinks, and what I need in order to cum.

  20. I’ve been in similar situation to #5, no lube, and dry condom. I felt like a bad(bad as in not doing good job) bottom. It also didn’t help at some point she compared me to another partner of hers, saying that person can has no problem doing with this activity.

  25. # 21, but in my case it was a massive allergy attack where all i was capable of was lying on my back and sneezing my head off.

  26. Curious what kind of stock photos are tagged “Gal pals”. There’s gotta be something good there.
