Abstract Myths about lesbian sexuality continue to exist but none have received such widespread discussion as "lesbian bed death", a myth that has become a clinical entity even though it lacks definitional clarity and empirical validity.

This paper critiques the use of the term "lesbian bed death" and provides examples from sex research and lesbian literature of the panoply of lesbian passions and play.
