It’s like the bible of sex for lesbians - with pictures! But this new book of positions for women who love women reads far more than just getting it on in different ways.
"Lesbian Sex Positions" author Shanna Katz takes lovemaking to the next level with 100 passionate positions ranging from the intimate and sensual to wild, naughty and downright dirty.
Each position, from the steamy Blinded by Delight to the aerobic Spider Woman, offers a new path to red-hot desire and shared intimacy, says the author, a queer femme certified sexologist among other things.
So when Katz suggests 100 assorted sex positions to try to maximize your pleasure – using everything from touch and taste to teasing and toys – you’ll probably want to dabble in at least half of them.
"It’s pretty self-explanatory at first glance – lesbian sex positions, right?," she says. "But I also want to make sure that people know it is so much more than just an array of full colour photos showcasing lesbian sex positions. I talk about anatomy, communications skills, sex toys and lube, butt sex, kink and much more, because all of those things can play into having a spicy, fulfilling sexual connection."
Katz believes that without the information that goes with the sizzling images you would be missing some important pieces of the puzzle.
"[The book] is designed to be a guide to get your juices – creative and otherwise – flowing, and to help you and your partner(s) have the fantastic sex life that you really want."
While many of the sex positions are fairly basic, many others are really "off the wall."
"Many were a result of sex position twister or long nights of what if I put my leg here and my arm here and OHMYGOSH. Others were suggested by friends who were doing their own research," Katz says, adding that every person will end up with different ‘must-trys’ from the book.
"Everyone’s sexual wants and needs are going to be different. Every person who reads the book will end up with different wants based on what they might desire or need in that particular moment, relationship or stage of their life."
Katz says besides the awesomely graphic book, she has three rules for good sex.
First: communication is key. If you can’t communicate with the person you are having sex with, why the heck are you having sex with them? Second: you have got to laugh. Sex is awkward; between body parts and noises and fluids and projectile dildos and falling off the bed and cats jumping off the bed – the more you laugh, the more your endorphins increase, and the better your orgasms will be.
Lastly: lube is love.
"Women who have sex with women tend to think that they never need lube or, if they do, it means something is wrong. Lube can make meh sex good, and good sex great, so lube up," Katz commands.
The author admits 100 positions is A LOT of sex, and some of them were invented solely for the purpose of trying to come up with something new.
"It’s important to put effort into your relationships and/or sex lives, and I’m not just talking about physical exertion. Trying new positions, talking about what you like, what angles feel best, what activities are the most sexually fulfilling, is going to make your sex life better, keep things fresh, and ensure that everyone is getting their needs met. Otherwise people get into a rut, do the same things over and over again, make assumptions about what their partner(s) like (s), and in the end, everything goes stale."
