1: Fascinating subject
I would never have bought this book but I read a romance novel with the two main characters heavily into S&M - one to extreme violence. I couldn't understand the appeal of wanting to dominate or needing to be dominated to the extent of violence, demeaning subjugation, pain and blood letting. So I searched out a book that would be well written on the subject and was told this was the best of the best.
This book is well written, extremely intense and edgier then erotica in most books. The hard core s/m porn and collection of very rough and sometimes bloody stories isn't what I was actually looking for but it does substantiate that the audience is out there.
I am hoping to find a book that will help me understand why going to the extreme of domination and submission isn't perceived as a health issue.
I rated the book 5 stars as I imagine this is probably one of the best books out there based on the quality of writing.
Make sure to read the 20 page introduction, it grabs you from the opening sentence.

2: Thank you, Pat!
This was the "Mr. Benson" for us leatherdykes. I can't tell you how many of us used to use character names as our secret codes for what we were into and what we were looking for. Hard core s/m porn written by someone who has really done this stuff - and it shows.

3: Not for the weak willed or easily icked
A collection of very rough and often bloody porn from Pat Califia. These aren't nice romantic tells, these stories cross gender lines, orientation boundaries, and get into SM in ways that only gay male writing had done before. If you like your sex rough yet the plots still deep and consider your constutition strong, you check out this book. I, personally, find a lot of the stories too intense but there are a few I've read over and over and I do not normal like lesbian SM porn.

4: Quite the eye/heart/mind opener!
This was my BDSM "coming out" book. No, MACHO SLUTS, isn't for the faint of heart. I first read it many years ago and was both shaken and thrilled to have my ideas about what constitutes normality,pleasure,pain and love so thoroughly brought into question. It was a riveting read. I had trouble putting it down even when I was finished. To this day I will pick up my ragged copy and re-read it. Again, it's NOT for the faint of heart -- or for those who are dyed-in-the-wool vanilla. If your mind is closed and your world is small, this book will scare the s--- out of you. Personally, I loved it. It's one of my all-time favorites.

5: Not for the timid!
Pat Califia's intense collection of lesbian erotica starts with a bang and does not slow down until the end of the final story. These are stories of possible realities, not fantasy or science fiction which I usually prefer and yet the characters and plots were so wonderfully interwoven with passioniate SM and sex that I found myself enjoying most of the stories. Definately a collection I return to every now and then.
