Review # 1 was written on 2017-02-21 00:00:00 Randy Mercer When I first got into the BDSM community back around 1991, there were only a tiny handful of books that every person I met had on their shelf. The Leatherman's Handbook (a nonfiction book) was one of them, and Macho Sluts was one of the others. The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty completed the triumvurate, one gay, one lesbian, one heterosexual(-ish). Of the three, Macho Sluts was the most readable, the most eye-opening, the most openly political about lust and kink. Decades later it is still an eye-opening book, even in the age of the Internet where I can find (for example) millions of words of Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy BDSM fiction and endless BDSM community blogs.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-10-19 00:00:00 Caitlin Stewart I read this as part of my voracious consumption of queer smut during my late teen coming-out days in the mid-90's. I thought that it was awesome and hot in a brilliantly filthy way that I'd never encountered before. Califia writes about beating the hell out of someone and then fisting them like some people write about religion, and I appreciate her for that. She's like a Jesus freak, except for hardcore queer fucking. I read it a few times (some stories more than others) then my copy sat on my shelf for a few years until 2005 or so when I lent it to someone I went to college with. As far as I know it really got around, going from friend to friend all over Brooklyn. I never saw it again.
