Boy in the Middle: Erotic Fiction

by Patrick Califia

The master of S/M erotica returns, with his trademark blend of psychological insight and ingenious sexual situations.

Patrick Califia’s characters are people who can’t get a cab at night: vampires who prey on drug addicts on the Lower East Side, self-hating Mormon missionaries, baby butch dykes searching for worthy dyke daddies, hermaphrodite private investigators, transsexual streetwalkers, older butch tops — rough-mannered but compassionate — FTM community activists, femmes who need to be taught a lesson, femmes who need to be left in charge. In Boy in the Middle, the legendary Patrick Califia — sex radical, writer, and provocateur — returns with eleven erotic stories from tender initiations to raunchy role play to welt-raising, hardcore S/M scenes. There’s no safe word at this “black leather pajama party” of a book.

[Tobi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Califia is always pushing limits. Having pushed hard over the decades for kinky sex, and sex between queer men and queer women, I found this book to start pushing on other taboos our culture has, primarily abuse and sexual assault. The two most intense: The carefully prepared and pre-negotiated date rape scene, and the siblings who console each other over their abusive father's death by fucking on his grave.

oh dear... picked this up at L&D's the other day as it looked like one of the better porn options. But oh dear.. terribly over-written, really earnest and so far - NOT HOT!! Wah.
