Devilz Dollz: The Secret World of Women in the Outlaw Biker Subculture

I want you to know that I love the unconventional life I have chosen to live. I have always been horny for the devil. The devil has an almost hypnotic effect on the opposite sex. That is why my man calls me his Devilz Doll. I have enjoyed exploring my attraction or should I say my obsession to the bad boy. Although I admit I was treading into dangerous territory, I love the life I lived on the "dark side" with my outlaw biker man. I went out there and lived my life to the fullest-full throttle. Many times I was afraid, but on the whole my life has been just great. One thing I want to make clear is that I have no regrets. The outlaw biker subculture was a raw experience for me, just like my life. (MK)

Almost everyone has heard about outlaw biker women and there appears to be a great deal of interest in women who associate with outlaw bikers. While the rest of us might think outlaw bikers are frightening or repulsive, to these women outlaw bikers are desirable. These women hunger for men who are bad and dangerous. They are compelled to dance with the devil and sacrifice themselves accordingly. Strangely enough, no matter how much they are physically or psychologically abused there is absolutely no shortage of women who are willing to risk taking a ride on the wild side with an outlaw biker. The intrigue of association with an outlaw biker acts as a powerful magnet for many women. Consequently, an unlimited number of good-looking, even gorgeous, women are drawn to the bad boy image outlaw bikers embody, to the excitement of a hedonistic lifestyle, a life which seems as exciting as a roller coaster ride-fast motorcycles, macho men, drugs, alcohol, parties, guns, topless bars, the thrills of flaunting social norms, and any way you want it sex.
