The Ethical Slut, Third Edition: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love (Revised) by Janet W. Hardy and Dossie Easton is a comprehensive guide to love, sex, and intimacy beyond the limits of conventional monogamy. This fully updated edition reflects today's modern attitudes and provides the latest information on nontraditional relationships. The Ethical Slut has been widely known as the "Poly Bible" for 20 years, dispelling myths and showing curious readers how to maintain a successful polyamorous lifestyle through open communication, emotional honesty, and safer sex practices. The third edition of this timeless guide includes: - Interviews with poly millennials (young people who have grown up without the prejudices their elders encountered regarding gender, orientation, sexuality, and relationships) - Tributes to polyamory pioneers - Tools for conflict resolution and instructions on how to improve interpersonal dynamics - New sidebars on topics such as asexuality, sex workers, LGBTQ terminology, and ways polys can connect and thrive The authors also include new content addressing nontraditional relationships beyond the polyamorous paradigm of "more than two": couples who don't live together, couples who don't have sex with each other, nonparallel arrangements, couples with widely divergent sex styles, power disparities, and cross-orientation relationships. They utilize nonbinary gender language and new terms that have come into common usage since the last edition. This essential guide is perfect for anyone interested in exploring alternative relationship models and expanding their understanding of love, sex, and intimacy beyond conventional monogamy.
