San Francisco sex writer Diana Cage says she's thinking about three- ways a lot these days.
She is writing a book on the topic that's due to her publisher in the next few months, her fifth book on sex in two years. Cage, who just finished a three-year stint as editor of On Our Backs, the only lesbian sex magazine in the country, talks and writes about sex with self-sacrificing honesty and disarming humor. But when asked about this new book she responds with her fears.
"I told my publisher I was going to get my lesbian card taken away," said Cage, who lives in San Francisco's Mission District. A how-to guide on three- way sex could be seen as pandering to fantasies of straight men and could play into old and tired stereotypes, she said.
The 36-year-old Cage believes that her work instead levels the ground and challenges the boundaries that define socially and sexually accepted behavior. In a how-to on three-ways, that means convincing straight men that it is acceptable -- fun, even -- to touch each other, said Cage, who believes women also have much to learn.
"What if you're a woman who wants to have a three-way but has never had sex with a woman before? You need to know some things. That knowledge does not come naturally. It just doesn't," said Cage as she sat barefoot and cross- legged on a chair in her tidy apartment, where a large furry rug dominates the living room floor.
