Editorial Review:
From Amazon.com:
Cure for cancer? End to world hunger? What's left to do after the publication of Felice Newman's definitive guide to lesbian sex? Drawing on a wide range of published sources as well as her own notoriously graphic questionnaire circulated by e-mail--stunning mild-mannered office workers as it reeled across their computer screens--Newman has compiled an exhaustively thorough how-to guide for practices as exotic as play piercings and as pedestrian as oral sex. Along the way, she offers a primer in sexual politics and lesbian manners at the turn of the century. The S/M hanky code is laid out once and for all. There is even a (brief, happily brief) section on celibacy.
Highlights include descriptions of sex writer Tristan Taormino's private consultation with Betty Dodson, the author of Sex for One described as "the mother of masturbation": "I was so excited about this adventure that I nearly peed in my pants," recalled Taormino, "I was going to touch myself for Dr. Betty Dodson!" (In the end, Newman reports, "Tristan earned an A+ in pelvic thrusting, but got a big 'needs improvement' in the breathing department.") Although it sometimes skimps on the details, especially with regard to women's health, The Whole Lesbian Sex Book is so rich, inclusive, and authoritative that it invites challenge. Now inventive lovers can ask each other: "Is it in Whole Lesbian?" --Regina Marler

I own a lot of lesbian sex books, and greatly anticipated delivery of this one. It's quite entertaining and informative, but in my opinion (and maybe I'm too conservative here) there is too much emphasis on group sex and S&M. This is probably great for the San Fran/New York scenes, but not where I live! Not to say that people don't indulge in such fun, I myself have dabbled a bit, but the book just didn't speak to me.
I was willing to forgive, but then I came across the illustration of a woman's breasts with multiple needles inserted. Then I got angry. I thought "Great,that's all we need, for straight people to read this book and figure that's what lesbians do routinely. They'll think we're all completely f___ked." Plus, I found many of the illustrations unattractive.

I think "The whole lesbian sex book" is just to attract the others. It's definitely a passionate guide for all of us, for everybody.
A complete information! Breast play, sex toys, masturbation, orgasm, group sex, and many more...
Everything is just wild and satisfying! ++Excellent guide++

Called me old fashioned but some of this stuff in this book is downright disturbing. Performing oral sex on a woman when she's menstruating or licking someone's anus. Anyone that does stuff like this belongs in a straight jacket. The anything goes approach recommended in this book is the main reason STDs are out of control in this world. I am throwing this book away immediately. I felt like I had to take a shower after reading this. This book isn't for the open minded; it's for the opened-mouthed,open-legged,open-behinded.

Us heterosexual males are a lot like lesbians in that they are girl crazy. So this book has lots of (probably) useful info--- but in our case we will usually be having sex with heterosexual women.
At one point, Ms Newman states that a lesbian's "experience of the feminine bears little resemblance to that of a heterosexual woman." If this book is accurate (and it feels accurate), lesbians have sex for the same reason men do--- because it is one of life's basic pleasures. But for heterosexuals, sex is mixed up with all sorts of gender-politics issues which are (understandably) given minimal attention in this book. In our society and most others, hetero women think of sex primarily as something the man does to you, and not as something you yourself are actively doing---- and you're not supposed to let him do it to you merely because you enjoy it. You're supposed to save it as a reward for good behavior on his part.
But, in any case, there are many great ideas for ... Read More
