Product Description
Review
"Renate Stendhal's unique words of wisdom are wonderful, and have an important message for everyone."-Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, co-authors of Lesbian/Woman"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."-Alix Dobkin, singer/songwriter"What a compassionate and useful little book, so full of heart and good sense. Renate Stendhal brings her work deep understanding about intimacy that will benefit any couple ready to take the next step in love and passion."-Carol Queen, Ph.D., author of Exhibitionism for the Sky
Product Description
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.

Read this one...trust me., April 2 2009
By Wood Wren "Wren" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: True Secrets of Lesbian Desire: Keeping Sex Alive in Long-Term Relationships (Paperback)
I will make this review quite simple. This is probably the most helpful book on this subject I have ever read. I have been and am one of those people who have their problems. I seem to be completely unable to be faithful in any relationship I have ever had. I have simply messed them up purely through selfish promiscuous behavior. In other words, I am a horrid flirt and a complete cheat. This work has made me see how so much of what I have done has been so unnecessary and how much better things could have been and how I could have found what I have been wanting, had I only controlled this seemingly uncontrollable problem I have.This is an excellent book. I suspect that I may have been a bit late in being introduced to it, but for those just starting out, please, please, please read it. It will save you so many heartaches.

This review is from: True Secrets of Lesbian Desire: Keeping Sex Alive in Long-Term Relationships (Paperback)
This book can change your perspective on what constitutes sex, and may change your approach to lovemaking. There is timeless, advice, and wisdom, for every person who wants to bring authenticity and healing to the bedroom. Written from the perspective for women lovers, however, the information could help any couple. At some point acrobatics don't work to keep sexual passion alive. We have to genuinely look to where our beliefs and ways of being come from. Form our own beliefs and free ourselves to be fully present and open. True love is beyond sexual entertainment, that requires us to continually change partners to get long sustained satisfaction, which in turn leaves us empty. Get this book, at the beginning, not when the relationship has fallen apart. Best book on finding fulfillment within a committed relationship I have read. Thank you for this book Renate.

Practical advice in a small package. No excuses not to read it!, Feb 22 2011

This review is from: True Secrets of Lesbian Desire: Keeping Sex Alive in Long-Term Relationships (Paperback)
Months after reading this book I still find myself referring to its passages when my lover and I are talking about intimacy and sex. After I read the book I couldn't wait for my lover to finish it so that we could talk about it. It allowed us to talk about things that we may have thought were too taboo or embarrassing. The book showed us that we are just like everyone else. It really lifted pressures and allowed us to delve deeper into our relationship.Concerns arise about keeping up the pace or reaching certain levels with sex and intimacy. Women are so intimate on different levels with each other that we often fall into patterns of neglect with our sexuality and our partners'. But we all have needs. They may sound crazy or strange or they might be exactly what your lover is wanting, too, but cannot say it!
Renate Stendhal keeps her words to the point and hits it home.
I recommend this book to anyone in a long-term relationship.
