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 body's potential to provide us with pleasure, pain, and love. ![]() ![]() If any book is responsible for the formation of the modern lesbian leather community, this one is it.ĭespite 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 Sister's, the gay and lesbian bookstore. ![]() Nobody had ever written so frankly about the kinky potential of woman-to-woman sex (and nobody has ever done it any better).
