This article applies a perspective on the study of lesbian sexuality, in which lesbian sexuality is seen as a process where the power domains of heterosexuality are reinscribed. Using empirical material, consisting of interviews with Norwegian lesbians, I analyse the way informants use the term `to take somebody' in a (hetero) sexual interpretation of the word. It is demonstrated how heterosexual connotations of the term are reinscribed, and at the same time being reworked and given different meanings. The article briefly discusses the question of lesbian specificity on the basis of this kind of analysis
