The writing is quite beautiful and I so wish that I had been able to enjoy it more. As is, it is not a book that I would recommend.

A very unsual little book from a female author from so many year ago. The introduction reflect that it written personally for a male for money...possibly seen as feminism.

sapphron's review
The real radical take on sex and sexuality is not one that explores "degenerate kinks" but self and mutual respect. Rape, pedophilia, gendered power roles, sexual violence, et all are the status quo built deeply into the establishment and social constructs. There's nothing radical or edgy about these stories that cater to the patriarchy.
