Wow if I were their father, I’d really be concerned about those kids. 2 teenage sons who are _offended_ by lesbian sex ? What the heck is wrong with them? Their father should saturate his kids with issues of Penthouse (sadly no longer publishhed) Club and other magazines, Internet porn and setting a television schedule that would include watching the movies they show on Cinemax and Showtime at 2:00 am. That’s what I’d do. 😃 ---

I actually have a copy of the book in question. I’d say over two-thirds of it could be used as a general guide on how to give a woman pleasure without using a penis. It probably ought to be required reading for every heterosexual teenage boy. ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] I recall an anecdote about Queen Victoria. As she was about to sign an Act of Parliament criminalizing sodomy, one of her counselors suggested it ought to be amended to include lesbians. Victoria replied, “Lesbians? What are they?” When the matter was explained to her, she retorted, “Nonsense! There are no such women!” And signed the bill as it was, leaving lesbo sex uncriminalized in the UK. [/QUOTE] Well she had a hard time thinking of a woman not as interested in Abert’s cock as she was (that royal slut). ---

I own a copy of _The Whole Lesbian Sex Book_. It’s mostly text; there isn’t more than one or two pictures per chapter. The pictures are drawings, not photographs, and they tend to be showing positions, not close-ups of girl parts. If you just flipped through the book, you might not even find a picture- you’d have to sit down and turn every page in order to see any images that might traumatize you even a little bit. One thing that might be traumatic is that the artist makes an effort to make the drawings look like a variety of real women, rather than idealized women, so they include women of color, fat ladies, tatooed punk ladies, butch women, and so forth. It’s all very tasteful, and I don’t think that this library is going to find what they seem to be looking for, a lesbian sex manual which doesn’t have pictures or descriptions of lesbians having sex. ---

That, or she decided that making life safe for religious fanatics was getting too silly. [/QUOTE] Well, her business is probably less frustrating than having to defend the library’s support of free speech against these fanatical morons. I’m not surprised that they had a book on lesbian sex in a library, regardless of the location; the whole purpose of a library is to be a repository of information for the public. Stoopid father and his ridiculous idea to sue a library. :rolleyes: He’d probably bitch and moan if that particular branch (and others) started closing because of the legal costs incurred in his lawsuit. “Where are my kids gonna get to see free books on Proper Things now?!?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/heh-father-sues-over-sons-traumatized-by-lesbian-book/401110.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/heh-father-sues-over-sons-traumatized-by-lesbian-book/401110.md?page=3)
