I found the title of this book, "Lesbian Sex 101 - 101 Lesbian Lovemaking Positions," to be initially somewhat confusing.

"Lesbian Sex 101" would say that this tome's instruction would be very basic (which it isn't). I was also somewhat skeptical that there could be "101 sex positions" for two women to share.

But I was severely wrong on both counts. "101 Lesbian Lovemaking Positions" (which is the title I prefer) was easily the most loving, intimate - and advanced lesbian love making instructional reference -- I had ever experienced!

As a married woman (who is also a bit bisexual), I was merely looking for a book of lovemaking suggestions - a little beyond cunnilingus -- which, incidentally, is a pleasure I already enjoy immensely with my partner.

I've only tried out a few of the positions - but it's the attitude that they encourage - that has begun to totally transform my understanding of intimacy.

When it comes to the basics - of kissing, licking, nibbling, stroking, and penetrating - with tongues and fingers, I think I've already got the use of these down pat.

With the above as a foundation, "101 Lovemaking Positions" adds rubbing, grinding, toys (both held and worn), masturbation (self and joint), g-spots, and a little anal excitedly to the mix.

But if the sum-of-the-parts can ever be greater-than-the-whole, this is it! The author, Jude Schell, successfully teaches us how to use all of the above, not as just points of contact, but in combination -- for a total body experience.

As identification, Ms. Schell uses cute names to distinguish all of the positions, like the "Velvet Rope," "Welcome Back," "Saturn's Rings," and the "Mount St. Helen" to name just a few. The ideas start out easy with familiar postures -- to reacquaint ourselves with the use of fingers and tongues, or the rubbing of ourselves together both intimately or against other bodily landmarks (such as hip bones).

Some of the positions are simple variations, such as "Priscilla's Punchbowl" where one partner straddles the other's face, but adds her own fondling or her partner (and herself) to the mix, or "Gilding the Lily" which is just the after-climax licking of your lover's labia. (One of my favorites was the "Dutch Tulip" which is performing a sixty-nine - while lying on your side, with some other thoughtful suggestions.)

But others, such as "Strawberries and Cream" which combine the straddling of thighs, the oral tweaking of one partner's breasts, with the direct stimulation by digits of the tweaker's clit--actually create a blending of touches that, in this case -- makes the sharing much more sensuous than just fingering.

For example, I never thought I'd ever enjoy grinding, using toys with women, or wearing a strap-on. But on this last point, the intercourse shown is not the main entrée, but one in a series of dishes (touches) which together provide a sumptuous meal for both lovers.

As a reassurance, each position is careful to include the direct stimulation of the clitoris (or g-spot) for at least one (if not both) of the partners, so the experience isn't merely a prelude or warm-up, but a finishing act in itself.

Speaking philosophically, Ms. Schell's book indirectly points out how our mind-set towards sex has traditionally focused around a single-point (which is a somewhat male) perspective. When using a strap-on, for example, I kept thinking "what fun is that?" thinking only of the penetration. But in "Vanilla," which is basically the missionary position, the emphasis (shown photographically) is on the entire length of contact, starting from thighs, moving upwards to the waist, breasts, faces against necks, and arms embracing. The penetration is merely an avenue and focal point to achieving this more symphonic level of interaction. The "Tight Squeeze," similarly is the most loving portrayal of "doggie style" that I'd ever seen, again for the affection with which it is given and shared. (Gee, even my hubby might benefit - and get aroused -- from studying this position's description.)

The book is illustrated with 101 totally enchanting four-color photographs of two women - a beautiful blonde, brunette, or redhead -- lovingly and caringly pleasing each other (and not just themselves) with their most intimate contact tastefully hidden by another body part or in shadow. (So, please read the descriptions carefully!)

One of my favorite positions was the "Peach Gobbler" (which is a variation of "Priscilla's Punchbowl" above) where a third participant engages either the girl on top by kissing her, or the woman underneath with oral stimulation. But the photo shown was also the most romantic portrayal of any "daisy chain" style variation I had ever seen! As a result, the idea of adding a third person to any of the hundred other postures - became a thought just too unimaginable in its pleasure for my mind to encompass.

As a quick reference, there is a handy fully illustrated checklist of all 101 positions in the back of the book. I've only ticked off a few - but it's also a helpful guide to locate the exact position you're seeking.

For the future, I think -- "Beyond Cunnilingus - 101 Lesbian Lovemaking Positions" - or something like it, would be a far more descriptive title for the book.

As a last mention, most of the bodily geometries shown would be best experienced outside of the covers, so please make sure to heat the room sufficiently - if you aren't already! (And knowing at least the basics when it comes to oral and manual stimulation would also be helpful.)

In "101 Lesbian Lovemaking Positions," Jude Schell has a created -- a masterpiece! But, obviously, one doesn't need to be a lesbian to enjoy it!

This is whole picture book, were you can view all the many positions two women can do in bed when making love to each other. It is an invitation to intimacy. The images are a turn on! Open this book with the woman of your life and see what happens.

Sensual and daring, this guide gives no-bones-about-it pictures of 101 positions. There is even a tally sheet in the back so you can check off as you accomplish each! A satisfying read.

I don't consider myself to be an all knowing seasoned lesbian sex veteran, but I was actually really disappointed in this book.

Completely ignorning the 'anal' aspects and the use of a strap on, a lot of the positions featured in this book are small variations on common sex positions.

My girlfriend and I thought that this book would show us a few things we didn't know, but honestly we have did most of the positions in our first few weeks as a couple.

Maybe this book would suit Katy Perry's fanbase or a couple of girls just getting started with a complete lack of creativity, but really this book does not have anything super exciting that a couple would not do with a little thought.

As a woman who knows how to please another woman, this kind of information just seemed to come easy to me, the book was not worth the money I spent. I could have very well written a book for boring lesbians myself and made some money.

Good investment for those who can't come up with interesting sex on their own. Also a good buy for women who like to pretend that they have penises.

Just buy the straight Kama Sutra because a LOT of these postions suggest a strap on and or vibrator.

Waste of money. If you are a lesbian, trust me, its nothing you haven't seen or tried.

Think twice about buying!

As a new convert to the wonderful world of lesbianism; I was very happy to try some of these "new" moves on my partner. Truly recomend for the starter lesbian like me.

relevant and lovely pics, but the positions require a little imagination as the explaination is insufficient and unclear. But you will get it, if you think about it. Highly recommmended.

This enjoyable little book delivers what it promises: a catalog of couples coupling in a huge variety of positions. A photo demonstrates each one, featuring a handsome pair of women intimately engaged. Amusing commentary accompanies each photo, describing the variants of each pose and its unique advantages, sometimes with transitions to or from other poses. Schell points out opportunities for the giver and receiver (when there's a difference) in each pose, and maintains a cheerful spirit of fun throughout.

Although clear and explicit, this steers well away from the vulgar. For example, it never confronts the viewer with genital details. Instead, the pink bits remain discreetly figleafed by a hand or head, even when demonstrating the most intimate kinds of physicality. The photos and captions remain tasteful throughout, without projecting faux coyness.

This isn't just for F/F couples, though - anyone making love to a woman's body will find inspiration here. Very few poses seem specific to women together; poses involving strapons could easily substitute a partner who comes equipped by nature. As an enjoyable plus, three indices (by name, by kind of activity, and by thumbnail photo) make it easy to find your favorites again. Whether you're looking for ideas to put into practice or just enjoying the imagery, this little book offers plenty.

It was alright! I gave it three stars because it was inherently a good book in the sense that if gave good pictures and good ideas but a lot of it seemed straightforward and common. BUT if you are new to the lesbian world this is definitely a great help!

This is an awesome book, the pictures are perfect with the descriptions, to enable you to understand and choose what positions are best for yourself and your partner.

Let's face it, even the best relationships need some extra spice on occasion. This book helped give me ideas to spring on sweetie. The book is smaller than it appears online but still clear and informative. The handy check off list in back adds a nice goal to reach for...hehehehe...
