2. Passionate Marriage: Keeping Love and Intimacy Alive in Committed Relationships by David Schnarch - The cornerstone of David Schnarch's Passionate Marriage is that marriage (or any long term committed relationship) is an excellent vehicle for personal growth. To increase our intimacy and therefore our sexual passion, it is necessary for us to grow as strong individuals knowing who we our. Only through our individual strength can we love and be someone who can be loved. He calls this process differentiation. Schnarch uses examples from his own marriage and from those he has counseled to show how sexual passion can grow as a couple ages together. Sexuality is seen as an extension of intimacy. As we get to know each other better and know ourselves better, we are in a better position to accept and offer intimacy without fear. Schnarch goes past the philosophy to offer practical techniques to help couples grow together and reach their sexual potential. Although this book is directed at heterosexual couples, all of the subject matter is applicable to lesbian couples.
3. The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by Gary Chapman - The premise of this book is that there are five different ways that we can express love, and problems occur in a relationship when the way one partner expresses love is not the way another partner needs to receive love. Chapman shows through real life example how this simple communication breakdown can cause all sorts of problems. The solution is to find out how your partner best likes to receive love and to meet their needs. It is also helpful if you realize how your partner expresses love most easily so that you can see their actions or words for what they are. Humor is used throughout the book to bring out points making this an easy read. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Even if you don't have any sexual or other relationship problems, this book will help you to understand both yourself and your partner better which is always a good thing.
4. The New Lesbian Sex Book by Wendy Castor - If you are looking for a basic book about lesbian sex this book is for you. Not as detailed or as problem solving oriented as some of the other books on this list, this book is still a worthy read. It discusses lesbian sex from the point of view of several different women at different points in their lives with different types of relationships. There is plenty of fantasy and real life descriptions of sex included. This book can help the novice see what is out their, expanding their view, as well as the couple of many years who seems to be stuck in a rut. If you want a quick read that focuses on sex without covering everything or getting too philosophical, this is the book for you.
5. Lesbian Couples: A Guide to Creating Healthy Relationships by D. Merilee Clunis and G. Dorsey Green - This book is not a sex book per se, but a book dealing with all of the relationship difficulties we might experience, thing like how to divvy up the chores and pay the bills. The truth is one of the reasons our sex lives need improvement is because we are too bogged down with the other things. Use this book to improve the other areas of conflict in your life, and your sex life is bound to improve.
