Do you know of any books about asexual lesbians?
The two that immediately come to my mind are:

1. Boston Marriages: Romantic but Asexual Relationships Among Contemporary Lesbians by Esther D. Rothblum and Kathleen A. Brehony (1993)

2. The Bostonians by Henry James (1886)

I've read the bostonians,but I didin't like the end,I don't write the end ,perhaps some people would like reading it.The other book isn't edited in spanish,is it good?.I could find it in Amazon U.K. in internet.

Ther is a book,written by Shere Hite,called "Women on Women" Which is about the different relationship between women,mothers and daughters,sisters,lesbians,and friends,but the better is that she writes about a new relationship between friends: two very close friends who live together,they share everything,they love each to other,they kiss,cuddle,spooning,but they aren't lovers,no sex.She expones a new tipe of relationship between women that not includes sex.I think that it is the same we are,so we are women who love another women without sex.

I have heard of Shere Hite (her sex studies are quite famous) but never read anything she wrote. Is Women on Women a good read in your opinion? Would you classify it as a scientific book or an academic book? I think I'll get it out of my local library and give it a read.

Yes,it is a good read,It is a very interesting book,I 've found several years ago in a store, in the department of books,a pocket book,I don't know it's tittle in english,because the book I've bought is traduced to spanish,I've traslated the spanish tittle to english,in spanish is called "mujeres sobre mujeres",I think that is an academic and sociological book.I can give you another information like the year of publication,1998,but nothing more,because the rest of information is about the year of printed in Spain and so on.I expect you can find it easily.

I just put the book "The Hite report on women loving women" on reserve at my library. I'll soon get it. I also meant to get The Bostonians out since I realize I have never read it but I forgot. No problem as the library had plenty of copies. I'll get it my next visit to the library. I love libraries!

I think that "Fried Green Tomatoes" could be a book about an asexual relation between lesbians,the 2 girls in the 30 years,which story is told by the old woman in the residence to the another woman,the housewife which life is in crisis.I think that it is a very beautiful story.
