There are many contoversies around lesbian sex. It is more widely accepted by many societies than sex between homosexual men, but still treated as something "tempting but somehow wrong" as well as "unnatural". As autor of The Whole Lesbian Sex Book: A Passionate Guide for All of Us, Felice Newman wrote: "sex between women has been envied, outlawed, hidden, packaged, glamorized, erased, pathologized, and obsessed over ever since woman discovered the clitoris. Yet women continue to desire each other." We could not agree more. Now it's time to check some facts.

Spartans assumed that love and erotic relationships between experienced and new soldiers would solidify combat loyalty and unit cohesion, and encourage heroic tactics as men tried to impress their lovers. Once the younger soldiers reached maturity, the relationship was supposed to become non-sexual, but it is not clear how strictly this was followed. 

Ancient Greeks did not associate sexual relations with binary labels, as modern Western society does. Men who had male lovers were not identified as homosexual, and may have had wives or other female lovers. Ancient Greek religious texts, reflecting cultural practices, incorporated bisexual themes. The subtexts varied, from the mystical to the didactic.
