" Whether you&amp;#039;re well-versed in lesbianhood, a total newbian, or just curious about the positive aspects of being gay-as-hell, this list is sure to help you understand exactly why being a lesbian is so goddamn wonderful.  1. You get to make out with girls. Making out with girls is awesome for a hundred bajillion reasons. One being the increased potential for flavored lip gloss. Who doesn&amp;#039;t love strawberries with their make-out session?! 2. You can make-out in dressing rooms and public bathrooms and pretty much anywhere you ever want ever... The world is your make-out oyster. Girls go to the bathroom together all the time, so like, oops you&amp;#039;re going to the bathroom together and now you&amp;#039;re making out against a wall and no one knows a single thing. Bar bathroom not your ideal setting for a boner? No worries, try dressing rooms! Insider tip: The dressing rooms at Old Navy are REALLY spacious.  3. Did we mention that you get to make out with girls? Making out with girls also means you&amp;#039;ll be dealing with much less face-stubble. Now you can make out for hours on end and not damage that pretty face. Win-win.  4. No. Pregnancy. Scares. Birth control?!?! NOT FOR YOU, MY FRIEND. No unexpected babies in your future, no matter how much you&amp;#039;re doin&amp;#039; it. 5. You can take personal credit for Ellen&amp;#039;s success. Ellen? Yea, she&amp;#039;s pretty lucky to have us. If it weren&amp;#039;t for all of us she&amp;#039;d be nothing. We (read: lesbians) found her on the streets, groomed her, gave her confidence, put her through comedy school, and packed her lunch every day for years. We done so good, y&amp;#039;all. 6. DOUBLE YOUR WARDROBE. Sure, this one isn&amp;#039;t necessarily a guarantee, but there is a damn high probability that you&amp;#039;ll have double the chambray shirts, endless flannels, and lots of new t-shirts to steal wear. Bonus points for same shoe size!  7. DOUBLE YOUR TAMPON SUPPLY. Let&amp;#039;s be real. Nothing is worse than starting your period in the middle of the night and having to shove toilet paper in your underwear. Now, your doin&amp;#039;-it partners are not only the objects of your love and affection, they are also reliable suppliers of necessary feminine products. Tampons for dayyyyyyyys!! (Plus: If there aren&amp;#039;t any tampons, you have someone to yell at.) 8. No facial hair in the bathroom sink! What&amp;#039;s more more disgusting than tiny coarse hairs in the sink clogging things and accidentally getting on your toothbrush and -  9. You will never have to know what a prostate is.  What is a prostate, anyway?! Caveat: So many breast self-exams. Bonus: Someone to do your breast exams for you! 10. You get to make fun of The L Word Some of us may love The L Word&amp;#039;s dramatic trajectory of lesbian life in sunny, wealthy California, and some of us just wish we could look away. But, guess what? It doesn&amp;#039;t matter. We all collectively come together in a sea of obligatory viewing to comment on topics such as Jenny Schecter&amp;#039;s ridiculous writing career, that time Shane gave up sex and the world almost ended, nooooo Dana, and OHMYGOD CARMEN IS SO HOT. It might be so bad but also, it&amp;#039;s kind of so good.  11. You&amp;#039;re can scream-sing to Melissa Etheridge anytime, any place, for any reason. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WALKED ACROSS A FIRE FOR YOU?! YES, I AM THE ONLY ONE, AND THIS SONG RULES. 12. No blow jobs. None. Not-a-one.  13. You&amp;#039;ll never have to read an article on &amp;quot;How To Get Him to Please You&amp;quot; EVER AGAIN. Everyone in the room understands how vaginas work! We&amp;#039;ve had them for years! We know what a G-spot is! We know where all the buttons and whistles are! Put the manuals away! (Sorry, Cosmo...)
