5.0 out of 5 stars It's All Here!, January 29, 2000
This review is from: The Lesbian Sex Book (Paperback)
The Lesbian Sex Book is a user-friendly compendium on lesbian life, cleverly arranged from A to Z - making it easy to find your topic. Entries are chock full of social history ("Years ago, lesbians wore pinky rings to let other lesbians know who they were..."); anatomy ("the clitoris is all the structures that function together to produce orgasm."); "how-to" instructions ("Pinch her nipple gently, or roll it between your fingers, perhaps tugging slightly as you do so."); psychology ("Sometimes, loneliness feels like a fatal disease..."); advice ("Whether you're looking for Ms. Right or Ms. Tonight, remember that your self-worth is not dependent on someone else's "Yes."); serious stuff ("You may be with the same woman for twenty years, but you will still have fewer rights than a heterosexual couple married for one day."); anecdotes, quotes from other books, a resource and hotline list, and lots of humor ("Sex noises are great toys that you can play with at odd times.") !

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, well-written explanations, August 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lesbian Sex Book (Paperback)
This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the breadth of lesbian love-making. It is informative for the novice and a good overview for the so-called expert. As a lesbian on the outer edge of middle age, I found the information on various lesbian lifestyles of great interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Friendly, accessible, informative, funny, August 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lesbian Sex Book (Paperback)
The Lesbian Sex Book is a nice starter book for the lesbian trying to get acclimated to the lesbian world. More than a sex primer, it also covers history and social issues. Occasionally kind of lame but often funny.
