An important book exploring sexuality from self pleasuring to S/M, Califia’s specialty. “Loving illustrated by Tee Corinne,” and featuring erotic line drawings of famous lesbians, including Mariette Lydis, Gerda Wegener, and Suzanne Ballivet. This is Califia’s first book in a long line of erotic works, including an advice column in Drummer magazine, and and the “leatherwomen’s quarterly,” Venus Infers, which Califia founded in 1992. In 1999, Califia transitioned and continues his good work writing about BDSM culture and queer feminist theory in both works of fiction and non-fiction.
