The Whole Lesbian Sex Book: A Passionate Guide for All of Us is a 1999 book by Felice Newman.
Controversy
Two teenage brothers from Bentonville, Arkansas, found the book in a public library and told their father, Earl Adams. The father complained to the library's director, Bentonville's mayor, and to a local newspaper. He threatened to sue the library if the book was not removed. The Fox News Channel picked up the story in April 2007, which gave it and the book national attention.[1]
In popular media
In an episode of the cable TV show The L Word, it was given as a gift by somebody involved in a lesbian affair with the recipient, who suggested that they try everything in the book.[2]
