Lesbian Chat Rooms

Finding Lesbian Chat Rooms

There are tons of lesbian chat rooms all over the Internet. Like chat rooms for heterosexuals, there's a expansive range in quality and variety of conversation. Some chat rooms are very friendly and emphasize general chit-chat over sex talk, while others are much raunchier.

Here's a list of some good lesbian chat rooms to get you started:

• The Pink Sofa has a range of chat rooms from general chat to regional rooms for the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia. The site also offers forums covering a wide range of interests.
• Lesbian Chat Room UK is a British chat site. Users must be registered to view or respond to chats.
• Lesbian Chat World is a moderated chat room site; moderated to ensure there are no guys around. General chat rooms and "romance" chat rooms are available here.
• Never Never Land is designed as an "escape from reality" for lesbians all over the world. It's a friendly place where people post poems as well as chatting.
• Lesbian Chat Online is a free worldwide chat room that users must register for before being allowed access to the chats. It makes it very clear that this is not a sex site, but a place for lesbians to get together and discuss issues that are important to them.
• Out in America is a comprehensive site for gay and lesbian news, and also includes chat rooms for gays, lesbians, and gay and lesbian youth.
• Butch-Femme is a long-running site devoted to chats among butch and femme women. They work hard to boot out the undesirables (men).

• Techno Dyke is a lesbian chat room for the web-savvy lesbian.

Advantages of Lesbian Chat Rooms

Using lesbian-only chat rooms makes it easier to find the type of person you are looking for, especially if you are using chat rooms as a way to meet people you might like to date.

Some of the bigger dating sites either ignore gays and lesbians or make it difficult to find listings and chat rooms for gays. Going to sites that specifically cater to lesbians is much less time consuming and you're much more likely to find kindred spirits there.

This is especially true if you're not looking for sex talk. Lesbian chat rooms are a wonderful place to share life experiences that might not have anything to do with dating or sex. These chat rooms can offer support to lesbians who have not yet come out, newly out lesbians, and others who are facing discrimination or just a lack of understanding from others in their lives.

Many lesbian chat rooms end up as places for political discussions and feminist activism. While some emphasize the lesbian point of view, they also welcome straight women or women who are merely curious and want to learn more.

Most of these sites try to weed out men who find the idea of lesbian sex talk arousing. Lesbian Chat Online even includes a pop-up message telling men to go away and that the site is not a sex site. The efforts to filter out men can make lesbian chat rooms a more comfortable place to be than other chat rooms.

Chat Room Etiquette

As mentioned above, many lesbian chat rooms are not about sex, or at least are not exclusively about sex. If you find you're in a chat room that doesn't meet your needs, don’t try to steer conversation in a different direction, just try to find another chat room that is more like what you're looking for.

As with all chat rooms and online dating sites, safety should be a primary concern. Don't give out too much personal information and if you are going to meet someone you've met online, make sure you meet in a public place telling someone where you are going and when you expect to be back.

It's sad but true that sometimes homophobic, dangerous people will get on these sites and pose as gays or lesbians to lure people to rob or hurt them. Most people on these sites are legitimate, but you can't be too careful with your safety.
