Pat Califia is not for the faint of heart.
His work, some of which has been banned in Canada, has something
to offend almost anyone--explicit sexuality, explicit S/M play,
multiple relationships, all sorts of sexual orientations, gender
play, and that's only touching the surface.
His fiction is hot as hell, intelligent and insightful,
and more than well written enough to not
deserve placement in the literary backwater of Erotica.
Macho Sluts and Melting Point are two of his collections of short
stories, and many of the stories are set in a Lesbian leather
community, where non-monogamous relationships are part of the
distinctly different backdrop.
Note: Califia now has another book of titled
No Mercy. I haven't finished it yet, but I think it's every bit
as good so far.

Macho Sluts a
8 (Excellent) and says:
I found this book in the Amsterdam public library, and although is
dates from 12 years ago, I liked it very much. The short stories are
very titillating and, maybe just because they take place in a
not-too-common
scene i.e. the lesbian sm community, they are very appealing for a
hetero
guy like myself. More than once during the reading of the book,
I wished I were part of the scenes described! Rating 8 out of 10.

It's still my favourite SM read. Story of O is my second favourite.
