Pat Califia has been "fuming and fussing" about censorship and the rights of perverts for more than two decades. Whether writing about gender transgression and transsexuality, lesbian relationships, S/M and leather sex, sex between lesbians and gay men, eroticizing latex and safer sex, prostitution, or sex in public, Califia’s essays--clear, consistent, provocative and eminently reasonable-- set the standard for writing about sex.
"Indeed only Califia writes with such explicitness and honesty as to make gays and lesbians as well as straights squims in their chairs. But while Califia can make you embarrassed, angry, indignant, afraid, or aroused, it is not without a higher purpose. [Califia] does so in order to take a firm stand against the legal system and the police crackdown on so-called immoral behavior among gays and lesbians while violent crimes go unsolved. This highly recommended book should be available in public and academic libraries for their lesbian and gay patrons, but it may cause a stir in some more conservative communities."-- Library Journal
