65% of straight women usually orgasm during sex, a study of 52,000 adults found. Lesbian women: 86%. Same anatomy. The difference comes down to 3 things:

Honest part: this was an online survey, not a random sample. Only 340 lesbian women took part. It shows links, not cause. I’m not a doctor. If sex is painful, or dryness is new, see one. What do you wish someone told you sooner?

Good bacteria in = fewer UTIs. Good bacteria out = UTIs every few months. Good bacteria in = no smell. Good bacteria out = that fishy smell after sex. What knocks them out, and how to bring them back:

For everyday support, there's wforher's probiotic. It includes the same two good-bacteria strains used in a small study of 48 women who kept getting BV. They had fewer repeat infections (they also took antibiotics and a milk protein). amazon.com/dp/B0DMFVZHMJ?ref…

Honest part: That trial was small and company-funded, and some guidance doesn't recommend probiotics for BV. They support prevention, not an active infection. I'm not a doctor. 3+ infections a year, or new pain or bleeding? get a workup. What do you wish you'd known sooner?

If you test low, I use Inerth liposomal B12. Liposomal means the B12 is wrapped in fat, which may help absorption. amazon.com/dp/B0D687X9SP?ref…

The catch: B12 helps if you're low. There's no good evidence it adds energy if you're not. This is general information, not medical advice. If stress or low mood is getting in the way of daily life, see a doctor. Which of the five is hardest for you?
