Customer Reviewsfemme4femme Said: (Stereo)typical,and therefore doesn't speak to THIS dyke ( Mar. 5th 2006 ) I got this as a birthday present, because I love the writing of Michelle Tea. But I didn't have high hopes for this one: Before I opened up the book I knew what to expect: lots of sadomasochism, lots of butch "bois" being dominant and femmes being submissive, and lots of "daddy/girl" (and/or "daddy/boy") stories. Unfortunately (given the dominant dyke erotic culture of late),I am not turned on by inflicting pain on my femme lovers, by thinking myself of a "boi" instead of a tomboy (in today's dyke world, I am considered a femme despite my top role, short hair, and androgyne look just because I am not usually called 'sir' or use terms like 'bros before hoes'), or by having a "daddy?boi relationship" (a mommy/tomboy (aka dieselfemme,eyelinerbutch, glamandrogyne)relationship would be just great, but its impossible to find one, much less READ about one). In the last five or so years of dyke erotica andliterature, it's impossible to read of any powerful feminine women...anyone caring, strong, and admirable is invariably masculine-identified...and usually has their 'caring' tempered by brutality...which I find decidedly undesirable). But, then again, I'm not exactly of the current dyke zeitgeist. So most dykes probably find this collection of butch brutality and femme submission, boy-identifying and idealizing, and pain-loving absolutely wonderful (I say, pass the painkillers!) But, to quote PJ Harvey, it leaves me dry (with the exception of the wonderful Monica Lewinsky fantasy). I think someone needs to write an anthology of dyke erotica that subverts the stereotypes that femmes are submissive girly victims, butches are mean macho manly sadists, and that all sapphic girls either wish they were boys or wish they could be "swept away" (or, more correctly, "smacked away") by (albeit biologically female) boys (or, should I say, bois). As my good friend Justin (who is a gay FTM) would say, "I thought being a lesbian meant you identified as a WOMAN who loved WOMEN. If you're biologically female but aren't the former, then admit you're transgendered just like me. If you're biologically female and are the former, but aren't the latter, then admit that you are heterosexual." T. Taylor Said: Not so great! ( Aug. 7th 2004 ) I am a huge fan of the Lesbian Erotica series but this one is crap. The stories are not very creative, and either seem too rushed or full of extra filler crap.Plus they do not hit that point to get me aroused. Most importantly there not very interesting. Every year Best Lesbian Erotica leaves me breathless with the profound way the stories are assembled. This on is not so great, maybe the editors will get it right next year. |
