The Whole Lesbian Sex Book should've been titled The Sex Encyclopedia, with a Heavy Lesbian Influence. Straight folks, trans folks, gay folks, queer folks, alien folks alike will find this book incredibly welcoming. The diagrams are only of lesbians partaking in sexual activities, of course, however they're of many persuasions. There's fat lesbians, skinny lesbians, biker lesbians, nerdy lesbians, black, prego, pierced and tatted, super dyke lesbians, FTM folks, old lesbians... the list goes on and on. I've never seen such diversity in a book before! (Take that, Victoria's Secret... with your tall, long-haired models with their big tits, long legs and flat stomachs. Gag me with a spoon.)
In her incredibly sweet, intelligent, conversational tone, Felice guides us through a smorgasbord of sexual topics:
*Chapter 1. Welcome - Introduction and overview.
*Chapter 2. Desire and Fantasy - from how to discover yours to an overview of fetishes, to where to find things to fulfill your fetishes.

See what I mean? Literally everything but the god damn kitchen sink. And such an easy read! For sections you feel more expert in, you can skim them easily with the aid of subchapter headings. For chapters you'd like to learn more indepth information about, however, there's plenty to learn. Felice covers all the bases and then rakes the field. Twice.
