"The
first time you really kiss another woman . . .
the
most startling impression is of softness. Lips, cheeks, back of the neck
-- all meltingly soft. Even on a woman with muscle, body contours seem
lush, especially if your previous sexual experience was with men. Where
he was scratchy, she is downy. Where he was governed by rhythms that seemed
to have a beginning, a middle and an end, she flows. Her throat smells
different. The bones of her rib cage under your fingertips feel different.
Then there's the light bulb realization: 'I feel like this, too.' Most
of all, there's the flash of emotional connection. Your lover is of the
gender that mothered you, that best-friended you, whose skin you've lived
inside all your life. There's no abyss to reach across. When you look
in her eyes, it's like diving into the depths of a clear, reflective lake."
"The Girls Next Door," Gelder & Brandt
