Each photographic session was unique, and each woman contributed her particular energy and courage to this project. Creating a book like Lesbian Sacred Sexuality was not without moments of grave doubt. We were all aware of the hatred and ignorance in our society and we all were committed towards social change that addresses these problems. With each participant, there was a gulf to cross in grappling with public opinion. I salute all of the women who have been able to find the courage necessary to bring you these images. I particularly want to honor the women whose images were not included in the book. Their participation, none the less, helped to create the book. In this respect, the book is truly a celebration of sexuality and reverence for our bodies.

"With vibrant double kiss, our words of sex and spirituality are always lip to lip: ecstasy, communion, surrender, passion, mystery, devotion." -Review, Celeste west
The groundbreaking book, Lesbian Sacred Sexuality, opened a wave of books depicting explicit erotic photographs of lesbian couples. Hailed as a celebration of erotic love between women; an initiation into the creative female spirit, the feminine mysteries; a brilliant collection of photographs, poetics and prose exploring lesbian lovemaking at its most passionate and profound, LSS is now in it's second printing.
Even in today's more open climate, finding lesbians who have experienced their sexuality as a doorway to the Sacred and are willing to be photographed is a challenge. Diane Mariechild and Marceline Martin made a wonderful beginning by choosing as subjects women of varying ages, races and body types. Lesbian Sacred Sexuality is as fresh today as it was hot off the press.
