Erotic fiction: BOY IN THE MIDDLE by Patrick Califia

I must declare my prejudice: Patrick Califia is my favourite erotic fiction writer. The spine of my tatty copy of Macho Sluts needs reconstructive surgery. That said, I gathered that the new-era Califia writing was going to present a challenge. To say that the new collection is dark is to state the obvious. And that’s what we want; dark is why we’ve bought it. But, as I’m sure that most of Califia’s readers are not transgendered, the real challenge he presents is, for the most part, the sense of complete otherness.

Pierce Factor – Volume One

The “Girls Gone Wild” video series has made millions for its creator and, simultaneously, horrified many of the parents of said “wild girls”.
