Lesbian speed dating sounds fun. It reminds me of the old joke ‘What does a lesbian bring on her first date? Her cat, the toothbrush and a removal van.’ It refers to the outdated image of lesbians instantly committing to each other, falling madly in love, then taking seven years to split up.
In reality, there isn’t a person on the planet that truly believes that it is possible for a lesbian to have a penis
There is always truth in stereotypes, despite this one being more fun than fact. However, lesbians have recently had somewhat of a makeover – and not in a good way. According to some trans activists, egged on by the likes of Stonewall, some of us are in possession of a penis (and I don’t mean as a trophy à la Lorena Bobbitt).
Which brings me back to speed dating, a process designed to enable singles to meet a large pool of new potential partners in a very short period of time.
