The Sex Issue is our most popular annual theme, and this year we’re thrilled to have been granted access to business trailblazer Cindy Gallop’s legendary Black Apartment in Manhattan for our cover shoot.

In our show and tell feature, we reveal 69 things you quite possibly didn’t know about lesbian sex – we know a fair bit and even we were surprised! If sex isn’t what’s keeping you up at night, perhaps the forthcoming election is?

We also talk to writer/director Carol Morley about the lesbian subtext of her fascinating new film The Falling starring Game Of Thrones' Maisie Williams and set in an all girls school in the 60's.
And if you've been considering a career change, Emma Gilmour tells us what it's like to learn construction on an all-female course. All this and much more...
