The Whole Lesbian Sex Book by Felice Newman

The Whole Lesbian Sex Book

A Passionate Guide for All of Us

Felice Newman

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
