More About This Book

Overview

Stendhal examines the "shadow" in lesbian relationships that descends when women bond so completely that the intimacy becomes a merging, obliterating the space between individuals where desire lies. Lesbian bed death, the topic of so many comediennes, is examined and reined in, no longer an inevitable result of a solid relationship. True Secrets of Lesbian Desire casts an eye on the myths that burden us all.

What People Are Saying

Alix Dobkin
Tracking all these mutual quests for honest relationships, Stendhal's small and beautiful volume almost made me wish to be in one myself. I'll keep it handy, should the occasion arise.
—singer/songwriter
Carol Queen
What a compassionate and useful little book, so full of heart and good sense. Renate Stendhal brings to her work deep understanding about intimacy that will benefit any couple ready to take the next step in love and passion.
—Ph.D., author of Exhibitionism for the Sky
Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon
Renate Stendhal's unique words of wisdom are wonderful, and have an important message for everyone.
—co-authors of Lesbian/Woman
Merryl A. Sloane
Renate Stendhal's book contains a passionate message in a deceptively small package. It is full of gentle wisdom, insight, encouragement, and, most important, hope.
