The Whole Lesbian Sex Book: A Passionate Guide for All of Us - Felice Newman

2 Juillet 2014 | Admin | English lesbian books

The Whole Lesbian Sex Book was the first-ever sex guide to offer information and encouragement for all women who desire women — lesbian, bisexual, butch, femme, androgynous, and transgender. First published in 1999, it’s been lauded for its thoroughness, enthusiastic tone, and creative, nonjudgmental approach to lesbian sex in all its rich variety. (Library Journal lamented, "Why can’t more heterosexual sex manuals be this good?") Now, five years later, sex educator Felice Newman has completely updated this classic guide. There is new information throughout, up-to-date research, fresh quotes from women who share their real-world experiences, a greatly expanded resource guide, new illustrations, and an entire new chapter on sex and partnership.

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

From Library Journal

Newman's sex guide for lesbians is superb. Why can't more heterosexual sex manuals be this good? Newman, who, as the publisher at Cleis Press since 1980 has edited many other sex books, covers oral, manual, anal, and insertive-vaginal techniques with loving care. She includes a whole chapter on breast play, addresses safety repeatedly and thoroughly, and discusses transgender and bisexual orientations, SM, group sex, masturbation, and sex toys--all while acknowledging that some women prefer monogamy, some polygamy. Her bibliography and resource list are simply outstanding. Newman's work updates and embodies the best of the half -dozen other lesbian sex manuals in print) all acknowledged in her bibliography). Even though this book is aimed at lesbians, it's extremely suitable for heterosexual women (to enhance their own eroticism) and men (to tell them what turns women on). For all public libraries.

Note d'intention de l'autrice : Dans mes œuvres, vous aurez remarqué une constance singulière : l'utilisation des mêmes prénoms et parfois des mêmes caractères pour mes personnages. Cette méthode est une invitation à une expérience de lecture que vous ne trouverez nulle part ailleurs. Imaginez-vous un instant dans le monde du cinéma. Lorsque nous apprécions une actrice ou un acteur, nous sommes tentés de suivre leur carrière, découvrant des rôles variés dans des films aux contextes distincts. Cette continuité crée un fil d'Ariane émotionnel, reliant des œuvres par une présence familière.
De la même manière, dans mes romans, les personnages portent parfois les mêmes prénoms et noms. Cette récurrence est une invitation à explorer différentes facettes d'une personnalité et des existences, à la voir évoluer dans des contextes, des époques et des intrigues variées.
Cette approche est ma manière de les imaginer, de créer un univers littéraire où chaque histoire est liée par des fils invisibles. Je vous convie donc à plonger dans ces œuvres distinctes comme dans une toile inédite où se révèlent les portraits des femmes qui m’inspirent…
