Lesbian dating is quite a prevalent thing in today's era. But then there are some myths that are attached to such a kind of dating. Some of the many myths are just
social stereotypes while some are myths that rule lesbian dating concept.
The reasons for such mythologies might be ignorance. It not only applies to people around lesbians. But it would be quite shocking to know how many myths lesbians
themselves believe in! Here are some of the innumerable myths that the society considers to be true-
Myth #1: Lesbians have hatred towards men. Lesbians are magnetized to women sexually as well as emotionally. But this does not imply they hate men or even
close to disliking them. It all depends on what kind of a relation they share with the person no matter men or women.
Myth #2: Lesbians want to be men. This myth especially goes on butch lesbians who tend to have a very masculine approach. It is because it makes them
comfortable and not because they want to be men. It depends on gender expression which is totally individualistic.
Myth #3: It's imperative to have sex with a woman to know you are a lesbian. There is no quick way to find out whether you are a lesbian or not. It all happens
gradually as you move on in life.
Myth #4: Lesbians like all women. Do straight women like all men? Just because she is a lesbian doesn't mean she'll fall for all women.
Myth #5: It's by choice and can be changed. Researches show that sexual orientation is something that one doesn't choose. It's an inborn trait and cannot be
selected. So this myth doesn't work with lesbians.
Myth #6: Lesbian relationships are all about physical relations and sex. It's quite obvious that sex will definitely be a part of lesbian dating but it's not
all about it. Emotional and spiritual attachment is also a part of the relationship for lesbians. Many lesbians create their own families and also have children.
Myth#7: Lesbians haven't met the right man. It might so happen that many lesbians haven't found the perfect partner for themselves. But this doesn't mean that
they turn into lesbians because they don't get a potential guy partner.
Myth #8: Looks can define a lesbian. People say that lesbians have this intuition power of guessing other lesbians. But this doesn't work all the time. Not
always can a lesbian say which woman is of her sexual orientation until and unless she herself admits.
Myth #9: One lesbian in the relationship has to have masculine powers. This has to be clear that even if they are in a lesbian relationship, they are both
women. It's clear, that none of them wants to be or behave like men.
Myth #10: Lesbians are not religious. Many religions consider lesbian relationships to be sinful. Therefore they believe that lesbians are not spiritual. But
this is just a myth. They respect god as much as everyone do.
