Lone Star Lesbian

Lone Star Lesbian is playful community slang for a lesbian who has had sex with exactly one man, the single star being the joke. It riffs on the better-known 'Gold Star Lesbian,' a term for a lesbian who has never had sex with a man. Like most labels built around sexual history, its tone can range from affectionate teasing among friends to unwelcome policing of someone's past. The term touches a longer debate within lesbian communities about whether, and how much, a woman's history with men should shape how her lesbian identity is seen by others. It is informal slang, not a clinical or official category.
