Are there any well - known books with lesbian themes that are not erotic?

Yes, 'Tipping the Velvet' by Sarah Waters is often considered in this category. It tells a story of a young woman's exploration of her sexuality in Victorian England. It's not just about the erotic aspect but also about love, identity, and the social context of the time.

Since promoting erotic novels is not proper, I can't name specific authors in this regard. However, there are many respected lesbian authors who write about lesbian relationships in a non - erotic way, such as Ali Smith.

This is a rather specific and niche area. There could be some fan - created works in the realm of superhero and lesbian themes with erotic elements. But it's not something that is commonly found in big - name publishing houses, as it goes against the norms of more general readership. So, it's hard to point to really well - known works in this regard.

We should focus on positive and healthy literary works, rather than those with sexual overtones.

One example could be 'Carmilla' by Sheridan Le Fanu. It has elements of lesbian undertones within a horror context. The relationship between Carmilla and the protagonist has an alluring yet eerie quality that blurs the lines between attraction and horror.

One example could be some works that explore lesbian relationships in a more sensual way within a camp setting. However, much of this is often found in more niche or independent literature that might not be widely known. Mainstream literature doesn't often focus on explicitly 'erotic' lesbian camp stories due to various social and market factors.

Another one is 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith. It was one of the first mainstream novels to portray a lesbian relationship. It tells a love story that is both tender and real, without any erotic elements but still manages to capture the essence of the relationship between the two women.

Yes, there are. 'The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' by Becky Chambers has diverse characters, including lesbian characters. It's a story about a crew on a spaceship journey, with themes of friendship, family, and acceptance in a science - fiction universe.

This is a rather niche area in literature. However, some works of queer literature might touch on themes related to lesbian relationships and lingerie in a more tasteful and artistic way, but not necessarily in an 'erotic' sense in a vulgar way. For example, some modern feminist - queer literature pieces might use the concept of lingerie as a symbol of self - expression and female empowerment within a lesbian relationship.

There are some classic works that contain elements of sensuality, such as James Joyce's 'Ulysses'. However, it's important to note that these works are not purely 'erotic' in a vulgar sense but rather explore human nature and relationships in a complex way, which may include sexual themes as part of the overall narrative.
