What is a dental dam?
it's a sheet of latex that dentists use for isolating particular
parts of the mouth to work on. dental dams are used for "safer"
cunnilingus. one hears about them a lot in lesbian safer sex
workshops/literature, but one rarely hears of them in heterosexual
safer sex education. (draw your own conclusions.)
in the earlier days of safer sex education, dams were difficult to
come by, but now they come in various colors, flavors, &c. even
though the lavender or minty ones are not used by any dentists i've
ever heard of, they're still called "dental dams."
