A sex education book aimed at “baby dykes” and young “queer'” women is being criticized online after encouraging lesbian youth to engage in heterosexual sexual activities.
On May 28, snapshots from a “Queer” sex-ed book made it onto popular subreddit r/TumbrInAction. Some recent leaks from the book had been the subject of a widespread discussion on social media, and a subreddit user who owned the guide decided to show the community even more of its contents.
Girl Sex 101, initially published in 2015 by Lunatic Ink, received stellar endorsements at the time of its release by ‘Queer’ and trans activist outlets DIVA Magazine and Autostraddle. But Reddit users didn’t share the positive sentiment in the slightest, with many pointing out that it appeared to be yet another example of lesbian erasure.
The author marketed the work as a “sex-ed book like no other, offering helpful info for ladies and lady-lovers,” but offered graphic details on how to perform sex acts on males. In sections such as “Hand Techniques for Girl-Dick” and “Girl-Dick Bean Lick!” the young lesbian readers are provided instructions on how to handle male genitalia in ‘affirming’ ways, and refers to the penis as a clitoris.
The book also teaches the young lesbian readers that the male prostate is an “internal clitoral structure,” and that fellatio can be a form of cunnilingus.
Shockingly, the book not only teaches lesbians how to perform sex acts on males but actively encourages them to learn how, in the event they are ever in a position of having sexual relations with a man, noting that “lots of girls” have penises.
“… cunnilingus in the form of what looks like a blowjob is actually nice,” The author writes, continuing: “For some girls, too much glans stimulation can feel annoying. This can be especially true if she gets erections.”
“It can be useful to understand how both [genitals] work,” the author says, going on to compare it to learning how to drive different kinds of cars: “It’s helpful to at least have an understanding of how to drive both an automatic and manual transmissions, even if you have a strong preference for one of the two.”
Users on Reddit were quick to express disgust at what they’d been shown.
“Makes me sick to the stomach. It’s supposed to be about lesbian sex [and] female sexuality, and you make everything about sucking dick??? Thank you very much for telling everyone that lesbians do actually like dick when we have been trying to tell creepy men that we don’t since forever!” The most up-voted comment wrote, with another user saying: “Conversion therapy but make it sparkly.”
On Amazon, a number of the negative reviews were from lesbians concerned about the messages the book was sending. One reviewer uploaded pictures showing that the book advising that trauma from sexual abuse was not a valid to want to exclude groups of people from your dating pool, stating that it was “not fair.”
Another picture uploaded by the reviewer told young readers that they should be willing to examine their sexuality, and even states that expressing a “preference for vulvas” can be “shady.”
Similar reactions can be found in other reviews, with another Amazon user calling it “disgusting, homophobic” propaganda and akin to conversion therapy.
“This book supposedly on lesbian sex, devotes pages to why lesbian women and girls should consider penises in their sex lives, and why being exclusively same sex attracted is bigotry that you need to work really hard to get over. It is disgusting homophobia and conversion therapy. Everyone involved in this book should be ashamed,” the reviewer stated.
“Unfortunately this book seems to be a grooming guide to gaslight young lesbians. Suggesting that you should try penis so you know about female genitals is misogynistic and homophobic,” another reviewer commented.
Girl Sex 101 was written by sex educator Allison Moon, who is known for creating workshops on “sexual pleasure and technique, polyamory and LGBTQ+ issues.” While Moon has published multiple books in which she refers to herself a ‘dyke,’ she is currently married to Reid Mihalko, a male actor-turned-gender educator who has been the subject of multiple sexual misconduct allegations.
Despite the continually negative reception since its release, the Rainbow Awards Winning guide is still widely available at major booksellers.
