Review
Hot, Sexy and Addictive, July 17, 2006
Reviewer: Patricia Huerta Gil (Mexico City, Mexico) -
The L Word is, no doubt, one of the best series out there. It's not about sterotypes, it's not about gay women; it's about women, with all their flaws and strengths. Every character is treated in-depth so you'll get identified with more than one character, even if you're not female, lesbian, etc. The two previous seasons have been smashingly good. If you enjoy well written series and have an open mind this is for you. There are sad moments, hot moments, interesting moments.
It's always pelasant to watch the performances of the beautiful and talented actresses that delight us on this series, Laurel Holloman, Jennifer Beals, Erin Daniels, Katherine Moennig, Mia Kirshner, Sarah Shahi, Leisha Hailey, and the rest of the cast.
The plots of this third season may be a little more depressing than the past couple of seasons, but I still have my hope high that Ilene Chaiken will bring us even better stories in the upcoming fourth season.
The L Word is just fabulous!

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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. 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.
