One of the most insightful and bold theorists of sexual politics writing today, Pat Califia has been "fuming and fussing" about censorship and the rights of perverts for more than two decades. Whether writing about gender bending and transsexuality, lesbian relationships, S/M and leather sex, sex between lesbians and gay men, eroticizing latex and safer sex, prostitution, or sex in public, Califia's essays—clear, eloquent, and provocative—set the standard for writing about pleasure, power, desire, identity, and fantasy. After reading Public Sex, you’ll know why Califia is the Big Daddy of radical sex.  Refusing to stay content on the margins of dominant culture, Califia goes to the center and squats.
