Celebrating sexy, literate queer writing, Best Lesbian Erotica features the steamiest, most thought-provoking sexual writing of each year. Guest judges selected from the queer literary world select and introduce the collections, which represent a wide range of styles and voices. The series is edited by Tristan Taormino. Best Lesbian Erotica 1997 is selected and introduced by guest editor Jenifer Levin, author of Water Dancer and The Sea of Light. "There's a new generation of queer women writing unabashedly about the truth, pain, and fun of the queer sexual experience-in all its variety, its surprising twists and turns, its rich psychological depth," writes Levin. "These gals are not afraid to just go out and get it. And when opportunity rears its pretty head, they tend to ask 'Why not?!' instead of 'Why?' Ah. The calling card of youth"

This book allowed me to show my true feelings without being,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Lesbian Erotica 1998 (Paperback)
About 1 year ago I started to question my sexuality. I never kissed a boy before and I am almost 16. Whenever my friends talk about how cute that guy is, I just can't stop thinking about how cute my girlfriends are. I know now, that I don't have to be ashamed anymore. Having sex with another woman is beautiful. This book helped me get through some very hard situations. I LOVE GRRRRRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book makes you think of ways to seduce a woman, making her want you as much as you want her. It will make you squirm and you will not want to stop reading it till your finish.
