About
This qualitative study investigated women's experiences of spontaneous altered states of consciousness that occurred while making love with a female partner in a group of 69 lesbians (including 4 bisexuals in relationships with women), aged 24 to 66 years old. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Jenny Wade's results regarding transcendent sexual experiences within a heterogeneous (gay, lesbian, bisexual, but primarily heterosexual) population were replicable in a lesbian population with regard to the kinds of states experienced and the impacts they had on participants. The study was also designed to explore whether the kinds of altered states experienced correlated with Karin Lofthus Carrington's 4 patterns of lesbian love and individuation.
