Gaelick is an Irish lesbian e-zine, comprising a group of Irish women who talk too much. So now, we're lesbians online.
We're a motley crew of creative lesbians, media and political lesbians, bookworm lesbians, film fanatic lesbians,
student lesbians and professional lesbians -
all with one thing in common.

Controversial!
I have no personal experience, but yeah I think so!
Interesting take over at Diva

Totally possible. Sex is easy, it’s love that’s complicated.
Absolutely. If she has chosen to have sex with a man by her own free will I don’t see why not. Plus men come in all shaped and forms, although I think the question maybe implies that the man is cis-gendered…
Good point, Siobhán.
Regarding the poll question, it makes me wonder what definition of “lesbian” is being used; and then reminds me of this: http://www.gaelick.com/2012/01/theres-something-queer-around-here/21375/
I don’t see why not, if that’s what she’s chosen to do then why wouldn’t she enjoy it? Lesbian or not!
Things might get a little more complicated if they move on, emotionally speaking, from just the physical act of sex though.
I think yes she’ll enjoy it as long as she did it with her own free will. She’s still a woman biologically which means she’s “wired” to enjoy it with a man.

I think it totally depends on the lesbian, the man and the situation. I don’t think it is true for all lesbians, though. An important detail is that the question is *can* a lesbian enjoy sex with a man, not *would* a lesbian enjoy sex with a man.
I’m bi, but I would disagree with the idea that all women are “wired” to enjoy sex with men. I think there are darn few things we are all wired to do or enjoy. Exceptions to every rule.
okitty – I completely agree with you that it depends on the lesbian, the man and the situation and I don’t agree with the idea that all women are ‘wired’ to enjoy sex with men either.

I’m sure that if it acctualy came down to that, i would enjoy it,
but Ewwwwwww!
course. What if she ends up sleeping with a woman who identifies as a man, but is biologically a woman?
BOOM!
Its not wrong for someone who identifies as a lesbian to enjoy sex with a man but by definition that person is not a lesbian.
No! The only cock I like is my lover Bertha’s butchcock shoved roughly up my arse.
Why the hell would anyone think a lesbian would enjoy sex with a man? A lesbian is by definition a woman who is sexually and romantically attracted to the same sex! End of discussion.
If a woman wants to have sex with men and enjoy it, that’s all fine and dandy, but don’t go around calling yourself a lesbian when you clearly are not. You’re ruining everything for real lesbians by sleeping with men and telling them you’re gay. We have since the beginning of time had to suffer men’s oppression and now that we’re finally gaining rights in the world, you want to go and ruin it all by feeding men with lies that lesbians really underneath it all crave cock. Men already harass women and especially lesbians enough as it is, why is it necessary to feed them more lies to make their ego bigger?
It’s not just about how men react to this though. Why do you want to make lesbians seem like the biggest joke ever to everyone else? It’s no wonder people continually don’t believe lesbians when they come out, and say “it’s just a phase” or “you haven’t met the right man”. It’s no wonder we get such responses when in reality bisexual women who go around shagging men call themselves lesbians. There’s nothing wrong with being bisexual so please own up to it from now on. Don’t go around calling yourself a lesbian the day after you had satisfying sex with a man. I mean what the hell!?
So what’s up with women who come to conclusion that they are lesbians because they can’t feel any sexual attraction even to men they love, only to women?
That’s the story of actress Jill Bennett among the others.
Obviously it’s the complete opposite of the pattern described here. And both can’t be right because it would make the term completely pointless.
