Reviews

[Javier · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite book of erotica. These stories surpass gender, and are not for the squeamish (or gentle) of heart (hand...).

“A masochist’s pride is based on their ability to turn any extreme physical sensation into pleasure. A submissive’s pride is based on their ability to obey any difficult order without hesitation. “You have to live out the things in your heart, or you don’t deserve them,” I tell the floor, speaking a little too loudly for someone in my position.”

—from “Daddy”

This is another book of well-written short stories about really rough sex from Pat Califia. These stories are not for the faint of heart, but if you like your smut of the hard core S/M variety, you might want to check this one out.

[Imogen McGindle]

“Kat had helped her move out a week later. The bitch (by then, Kat had taken to calling them bitches when they weren’t around) wound up with an ambitious and successful feminist attorney who never came home in time for dinner and had beautifully kept hands with long, pearl pink nails. Every time Kat thought of those sexually disabling claws, she smiled and figured there was a little justice in this world”. p. 14

Erotic lesbian S&M short stories, all rather gritty and violent.
