Just Love Safe Survey

Hi there,
I've just been doing the Just Love Safe sex survey with my friend who is a lesbian and all the options are really straight. I know you put at the beginning your sexuality but then following on from there was hard - e.g. it says what method of contraception did you use when you lost your virginity but "none - we're both girls" isn't an option.
Also she said that the box you put your details into for the prize draw isn't secure.

If they're going to go to the trouble of giving participants the option to define as gay women they really should make sure the questions reflect that. 'Protection' instead of 'contraception' for example.
ETA: Just done the survey myself and the same options are listed for me as a straight man. It complicated things as I didn't use condoms for my first time as a) I knew my partner was on the pill and b) I knew we didn't have an STI. So obviously I had to say on my first time I was on the pill, which is random to say the least.
You've raised some really interesting points, so I'll be sure to pass them on to the relevant people. This kind of feedback is reallllllly good to have.
