- Women who have sex with women
Women who have sex with women (WSW) is a term used to identify women who have sex with other women, but may or may not self-identify as lesbian or bisexual. The term is often used in medical literature to describe such women as a group for clinical study, without needing to consider the issues of sexual self-identity.
A 1990 U.S. study showed that women who had had female sexual partners in the last 5 years had an average of 10.1 partners in those 5 years, while women with only male partners had an average of 2.2 partners. [cite book
