Letters to Penthouse XX: Girl on Girl!

I had been searching for a book on women-only erotica - and I surprisingly ended up with "Penthouse XX Girl on Girl," which I found to be quite good. As background, I had just finished reading "The Straight Girl's Guide to Sleeping with Chicks" by Jen Sincero, which I also enjoyed. Besides helping us straight women to feel better about being sexually attracted to members of our own sex, the author goes one better - by helping us to turn fantasy into reality. As the author suggests, an essential step in the process is learning to masturbate while imagining ourselves making love to other women - and using erotic literature as a tool, hence my search. (I already knew how to masturbate. I was just looking for some literature to go with it!) Unfortunately, most of the lesbian erotica I encountered was written for - and about true lesbians - with the "happy endings" involving women who were either discovering their true selves, or starting (or reaffirming) a life-long commitment with another babe, and then riding off into the sunset together. By comparison, "Penthouse XX Girl on Girl" features erotic stories mainly about straight women - who then discover some level of girl/girl attraction within themselves. As a straight woman - who happens to be bisexual - I found this book much more to my liking. The women in Penthouse XX enjoyed each other immensely during their encounters - and presumably went back to their normal (heterosexual) lives afterwards, which to me was more realistic. (I've come to realize that sleeping with girls is something I'd like to do - as another facet of me. And I've no desire to leave my man - for another woman.) In a classic tale, a woman executive finds herself swept away by a sexy masseuse. In another, two close friends lose their inhibitions while house sitting. And, in a third, a secretly bisexual college senior finally makes love to her roommate - when she consoles her friend after the girl unceremoniously breaks up with her boyfriend. (The book goes on deliciously with about twenty more of these.) In all, the stories were richly detailed with plenty of kissing, caressing, and undressing, as well as girls discovering the touch, the sensuous taste, and the enrapturing fragrance of being with another woman. It was almost as though each author was trying to overcome the negative precepts many of us may have towards being with another woman. Fortunately, this made each of the amorous tales long enough - to allow me to bring myself to a soothingly satisfying conclusion. (Hey, mission accomplished!) I'm sure there are those who would say that these letters to the editors of Penthouse are just fabrications (made up). But I found myself enthralled with them nonetheless. For straight women (and men) who might enjoy reading about romantic sexual encounters involving girls - who aren't necessarily lesbians - this is a book I would highly recommend.
