The BBC messaged Niya to tell her that we would be using images of a violet to illustrate the memes. We chose the symbol - which differs vastly from the symbols the women use - because lesbian women in the 1900s were said to give violets to their girlfriends. Stereotyping is a necessary evil. Stereotyping simplifies complex information so our brains can easily understand it, reducing the amount of processing we go through when seeing or meeting new people That said, it also causes us to generalize. If we see one hipster drinking PBR and wearing an “Everyone loves Grandpa!” T-shirt, our brain is like, #YesAllHipsters. We started talking at lunch,” says Niya. “Within that conversation, we knew that we were the same. There was a shorthand, a recognition.” Think variety, then rhythm. Experiment with different strokes, speeds, and pressure so you can discover what gets your partner off without straining your tongue. Once you and your partner have found the rhythm for destination climax, keep it steady and consistent. Don’t change anything until after they either orgasm or indicate a desire for something different. Top 5 Tips for Receivers

Nella is now divorced but others in the group remain married. Their husbands are not aware of their sexuality. We started talking,” says Niya, “Then one day, in the middle of a deep conversation, she turned to me and said, ‘I like women’.” But! While it’s true that lesbians have less frequent sex than their straight counterparts, lesbian sex lasts far longer: Leila, Niya - and later Nella - formed a community. Now there are dozens of women who see themselves as Burundi’s secret lesbian collective. Some have support from their families. A few are married with children. No-one is openly out.The dreaded “bed death,” or the notion that lesbians in committed relationships stop having sex with each other, is a touchy topic. According to Karen Blair, a professor at St. Francis Xavier University and a member of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex, only 15 percent of lesbian couples engage in sex more than twice a week, compared to 50 percent or more of other comparison groups (straight couples and gay men). After being hit, one woman went to the police station only to be told that “the man who hit you deserves a prize, he was right to beat you up”.

Her next step was to explain to her mother that it wasn’t a phase - a hetrosexual life was not for her. But she needn’t have worried. Leila didn’t lose her friendship. The two agreed to draw a line under the embarrassing episode.The T-shirts are important because printed on each one is a discreet, matching symbol.

Processing is the tendency to overanalyze and overdiscuss every aspect that can be analyzed or discussed. When it comes to relationships, it turns out this works in lesbians’ favor. According to a 12-year study by John Gottman of the University of Washington and Robert Levenson of the UC Berkeley, gay and lesbian couples are excellent communicators who use fewer “controlling, hostile emotional tactics” when fighting, such as belligerence, domineering, and fear. “The difference on these ‘control’ related emotions suggests that fairness and power-sharing between the partners is more important and more common in gay and lesbian relationships than in straight ones,” Gottman explained.Nella’s husband didn’t know about her sexual identity. It wasn’t a happy marriage. The couple barely communicated and she dreaded intimacy. In 2016, her husband found out about these conversations and her marriage broke down. He vowed to keep her sexuality a secret from the wider community for the sake of their children. They meet once a month, in different places. Sometimes in public but mostly behind closed doors. Most of them are wearing jeans and T-shirts in various colours, patterns and styles. Initially her mother took it badly. But as the days passed she began to ask more questions. Leila’s father was more supportive than she expected.
