Summary:

A provocative, lively and informative book containing a down-to-earth review of lesbian sex which explores what lesbians do, how they do it and how often. Contains informed discussion on many issues affecting lesbian sexual health and well-being, including the latest thinking on HIV/AIDS, the SM debate, social lubricants, the lesbian 'bed-death' theory, monogamy and non-monogamy, the impact of long-term illness on sexual relationships, abuse and safer sex information. Accessible, entertaining and original, Undressing Lesbian Sex is the first British book on the subject and it is based on extensive empirical research in this country. The results of the UK's first-ever lesbian sex survey, which was widely distributed throughout the country, are analysed and explored here in the broader context of lesbian life in the nineties.
