Wow! Shock, smile, let's read some more!5
I opened this not kowing what I would find. The first pages I looked at mentioned "handballing" and I immediately shut the book. As a feminist it took me a little while to get into what they were talking about here. Luckily, I'm a liberal.

There is a definate focus on butch/femme relationships which gives the book a slightly subversive feel, and the interviews are very welcome. It was nice to see some trans inclusion with an interview with the lovely Kate Bornstein, and with Les Feinberg, who I admire greatly.

Practially the book gives you what you want. It is down and dirty when it comes to advice and doesn't shirk from being explicit. It isn't for the fainthearted.

The inclusion of topics covering everything from kissing to BDSM means you get a wide spread of enjoyable practices that are clearly explained and encouraged.

Throughout the book, our sexuality is posited as powerful and demanding, not in a way that men have constructed, which is usual in most sex manuals, but here it is owned completely by women.

My girlfriend and I have only begun to explore what it can do for us, and it looks like it's going to be a regular read from now on.

Great Book!5
Unlike some other lesbian sex books I've seen which talk more about health and relationships, this one is purely about sex - both monogomous and casual. As a complete beginner to the subject I found it incredibly useful, but I feel 100% certain that other people more advanced than me would also get something from it. In fact, some of the stuff was so advanced it scared me a bit! All the subjects covered go into a good amount of detail - not too little and not so much that you get bored. I would definately recommend this book, especially if you are looking for a few ideas to spice up your sex life!

Full of regrets1
I found this book to be a regretful read!
If your a femme or baby dyke, then don`t bother.
Its outdated and old fashioned. However if your old school then this could come in very handy even if its a bit rushed at times, and simplistic.
