Making out

About this book

The 1990s have seen lesbian sexuality celebrated as never before. After centuries of being an invisible or despised identity, lesbianism, so some would have us believe, is suddenly 'chic'. But behind this new profile lurk the same old stereotypes about lesbians and about lesbian sex. Making Out, the first ever fully illustrated guide to lesbian sexuality, changes all that by looking at the realities of lesbian sexual experience. Four written sections - The Body, Sex Gear, Sex Acts and The Sexual Imagination - each contain comprehensive alphabetical entries in Zoe Schramm-Evans' direct, informative and no-nonsense style. These are beautifully complemented by Laurence Jaugey-Paget's erotic photographs, which include five fantasy-narratives, each a story in themselves. The result is inclusive, non-prescriptive, stylish and highly contemporary; the definitive guide to the lesbian sexual experience in the 1990s.
