*dying of laughter over the Kaori Yuki* It's so true; they /are/ impossible to describe.
Frankly, I would also recommend all the works of Marion Zimmer Bradley, who had more hang-ups than a coatrack and kind of took them out on her fiction. Warrior Woman and The Ruins of Isis both have plenty of lesbians and some fairly BDSM background, though not the safe, sane consensual kind. *thinks* House Between Worlds may have also, but it's been so long I can't recall for sure.
The short stories are the real place to go for up-front sexual kink, though.
