Synopsis:
Lesbian Sex, written by lesbian counselor JoAnn Loulan, is a pioneering, comprehensive guide to the sexual lives of lesbians. Drawing on years of counseling, research, and the shared experiences of lesbian women, the book is designed to help readers achieve the kinds of sex lives they truly want. Loulan begins by situating lesbian sexuality in a culture that is often woman-hating, sex-negative, and hostile to lesbians, and calls on readers to reclaim their erotic lives from family, social, and governmental controls. She explains basic anatomy and sexual response in accessible language, then explores how women can learn and unlearn sexual messages, negotiate desire, and build a sense of sexual entitlement and self-esteem. The book addresses common core sexual issues such as communication, consent, boundaries, body image, shame, and fear, and offers practical guidance on masturbation, oral sex, manual stimulation, the use of sex toys, and other techniques for giving and receiving pleasure. Loulan also connects sexuality to broader issues in lesbians’ lives, including relationships, recovery from abuse, the impact of sexism and homophobia, and the process of creating affirming, passionate, and mutually satisfying sexual relationships. Throughout, she emphasizes that lesbian sex can and should be shaped by each woman’s own needs, desires, and values.
