The Ethical Slut

Description

The Ethical Slut, the classic guide to love, sex, and intimacy beyond the limits of conventional monogamy, has sold nearly 200,000 copies and has been fully updated to reflect today's modern attitudes and the latest information on nontraditional relationships.

"One of the most useful relationship books you could ever read, no matter what your lifestyle choices. It's chock-full of great information about communication, jealousy, asking for what you want, and maintaining a relationship with integrity." - Annie Sprinkle, PhD, sexologist and author of Dr. Sprinkle's Spectacular Sex

For 20 years, The Ethical Slut—widely known as the "Poly Bible"—has dispelled myths and showed 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 to the ethics of relationships, communication, and sex has been revised to include:

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, while utilising nonbinary gender language and new terms that have come into common usage since the last edition.

Reviews highlight its updated focus on consent and the diverse ways ethical non-monogamy can manifest, acknowledging shifts in cultural attitudes over the past two decades. This edition reflects on societal changes, making it relevant for a new generation and solidifying its influence in the discourse on polyamory and sexuality.
