Book Reviews of Women Loving Women: Appreciating and Exploring the Beauty of Erotic Female Encounters

Book Review: Charming and playful
Summary: 4 Stars

This gentle and cheerful book carries a unique approach to physical affection between women. There's no feminist or political agenda - in fact, there's very little about female homosexuality at all. It's just about the sexuality, sensuality, and attractiveness of women, and sees no reason to assign special meaning or labels when women feel that attraction, too. It arises naturally when a woman's love for her own feminine beauty and erotic potential becomes too much for her one body to contain.

Starting from that simple, un-charged premise, Waxman leads the female reader (which I'm not) through the basic steps of exploring another woman's sensuality. That starts, of course, with knowing her own - the things about herself that the woman will reach out to in another. Then there's the reaching out itself. Many of this book's intended readers have only had experience reaching out to (and being reached by) men, so this offers as much encouragement as education in how the experience might differ. Some of Waxman's advice might seem obvious, like observations on how intimate details differ between one woman and the next. But, if the reader has only herself as an example, how could she be expected to know the range of differences? Discovering them is part of the loving adventure.

This book's photos truly stand out. They depict beautiful young women singly, in pairs, or in small intimate groups. Every picture depicts delicate sensuality - happy people in enticing scenes and activities. Even discussions of mff threesomes features ladies-only photos. In keeping with the book's text, the pictures carry an explicitly sexual sense, but without vulgarity or negative overtone. One charming paradox appears in many of these images. They often spare the viewer direct genital confrontation, sometimes using a hand as figleaf. But, when that hand caresses instead of just covering, the scene's full sexual energy comes through - but gently.

This book expresses a woman's view of women's sensuality. That's such a huge topic that others will see it very differently, but that's not the point. It's describes how lots of women want to be loved, and that matters to anyone who loves them, whether man or woman.

Summary of Women Loving Women: Appreciating and Exploring the Beauty of Erotic Female Encounters

Women Loving Women explores the phenomenon of the contemporary "bi-sexual" or "lesbian" experience for the heterosexual woman. However, while women loving women is indeed an emerging trend, it is also an age-old obsession that this book also addresses and places in a historical perspective. The book investigates the reasons modern women are more open to same-sex encounters, how these experiences can connect people and help them grow, and how regardless of one's sexual orientation, there is much to learn here about the nature of love, sex, and physical attraction and its unconscious determinants. In addition, Women Loving Women also responds to how these same-sex encounters are less apt to create conflict in their heterosexual relationships, and actually might spice things up with their male partner (many men fantasize about same-sex women relationships), break the ice with a best friend, or simply add a new dimension to their sexual history. Women Loving Women features sophisticated photographs that will capture the warm and enlightening approach of exploring erotic possibilities with other women, even when you don't identify yourself as a bisexual or lesbian. Testimonials from heterosexual women who have experienced same-sex romantic encounters will be featured throughout. Sidebars will also feature quotations from women-who-have-loved-women throughout history, such as Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Anais Nin, and Eleanor Roosevelt, amongst others.

The photographs, shot on location in New Hampshire, tell a story of three beautiful women who leave their boyfriends/husbands behind for a "girls weekend"-and discover a new dimension to their friendship
