ISBN: 9781551522609.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it was first published in 1988, Patrick Califias Macho Sluts, a collection of S\/M stories set in San Franciscos dyke bathhouses, sex parties, and S\/M gay bars, shocked the lesbian community and caused an upheaval in the field of queer publishing. Nobody had ever written so frankly about the kinky potential of woman-to-woman sex (and nobody has ever done it any better). If any book is responsible for the formation of the modern lesbian leather community, this one is it.\nDespite its graceful language, imaginative scenarios, and abundant humor, the lesbian press trashed Macho Sluts, and it became a focal point for the infamous legal battles between Canada Customs and Little Sisters, the gay and lesbian bookstore. But readers loved it, and to this day Macho Sluts remains a vital and moving classic that still has the power to educate, radicalize, and expand our notions of the bodys potential to provide us with pleasure, pain, and love.\nThis new edition, part of Arsenal Pulp Press Little Sisters Classics series resurrecting classics of LGBT literature, includes a new afterword by the author, and an introduction by Wendy Chapkis, a professor of sociology and women and gender studies at the University of Southern Maine in Portland.\nPatrick Califia has written many books about radical sex, queer communities, and the repression of desire. Almost ten years ago, Califia transitioned from female to male; he now lives as a bisexual transman in San Francisco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Arsenal Pulp Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986660421685,"sku":"ByrdShop_1551522608","price":454.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781551522609_d10e0460-9685-4dc3-8cbd-b3f276ac4efd.jpg?v=1778856070","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/macho-sluts-a-little-sisters-classic-9781551522609","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
