Fast Girls
If fast is a sexy state of mind, consider me fast like the ones in the last book, Fast Girls,edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel.
The introduction to the book goes a little something like this:
I like the fast girls best/they do whatever they
wanna do.
—Sarge, “Fast Girls”
I named this book after a song called “Fast Girls” by an indie pop/rock band called Sarge.* That song is a feisty, punk-rock ode to a hot girl who is captivating in all kinds of ways. I’m sure you know a girl like that. Or a woman. Or a lady. Or a butch. Or a femme. Or…you get the idea. She’s the kind of babe who takes no prisoners, who owns her life and her sexuality and not only doesn’t apologize for them, makes sure you notice her and what she’s all about.
Two definitions of “fast,” according to Merriam-Webster are “wild” or “sexually promiscuous,” and while that is the seed of what I was angling for here, I didn’t just want to read about slut after slut after slut. I wanted to read about women who in some way defy the conventional norms—whatever those are in this day and age. That doesn’t mean being shocking for shock’s sake, but following their passion, seeking out what it is that they need to be truly pleasured. What I love about these fast girls is that even as they are bold, daring and dynamic, they have a thing or two to learn about sex and themselves.
Fast Girls is a delicious read for the modern courtesan, jam packed with luscious stories from Confessions of a Kinky Shopoholic by Jennifer Peters, Five Minute Pornstar by Jacqueline Applebee,Lessons, Slow and Painful by Tess Danesi to Whore Complex Rachel Kramer Bussel. It is a smorgesborg of sexy stories from unique point of views. Live lusicous, be fast!
