(I explain the LHMP here and provide a cumulative index.)
I confess I'm drawing out the posting of the specific source materials in this volume. I hope the little snippets entice the interested reader to follow up with the book in question.

Habib, Samar. 2009. Arabo-Islamic Texts on Female Homosexuality: 850-1780 A.D. Teneo Press, Youngstown. ISBN 978-1-934844-11-3
From “Al-Aghani” by Al-Asfahani, Abu Faraj (ca. 972)
A satiric poem from a man to his female rival for his beloved, using metaphors such as “you can’t patch a hole with a hole” and “what use is a hammer without a handle?” to argue the superiority of heterosex over grinding.
An anecdote about the female entertainer Bathal who, when singing to a male client, substituted a lyric in praise of "grinding" (sex between women). Her client contradicted her, but then requested that she finish the song and offers more lyrics that are in favor of grinding.
