The Ethical Slut is an astonishingly good book., 10. November 1997
Von Ein Kunde
The Ethical Slut is an astonishingly good book. In fact, I'm going to have to really work hard to find anything to criticize, so before I do, rush out and buy it!
The basic message of the book is that love and sexual pleasure are Good Things, and that it is possible to ethically, sanely, increase the amount of love and pleasure in your life. To that end, the focus of the book is on polyamory/multiple consensual relationships/open marriage/swinging. However, the book is *so* good about how to fully open, express and enjoy your sexuality that I often found myself wishing that it *wasn't* a polyamory book -- its sex-positive message is more far-reaching than any particular lovestyle(s).
Easton & Liszt offer common sense, experience, humor, how-to's, how-not-to's in a clear, no-nonsense style. Advise is practical, sane, fun and peppered with lots & lots of real life examples that are sometimes joyous, sometimes sad, and once in a while pretty darn hot. All the important stuff is covered: Communication, boundaries, negotiating "the rules," jealousy, sexual inhibitions, sexual orientation, group sex, privacy, etc. etc. And at *no* point did I shake my head in disgust!
Okay, I said there was a criticism, and there is (just one). This is yet another Northern California Ecotopia book. I am so *sick* of all information about polyamory coming from there and there alone. I sometimes
want to stand on a rooftop and scream "I'm a Nice Jewish Girl from New Jersey and I Mess Around!!" That's right folks, polyamory is *not* stopped at California's borders and driven back in.
But, until *this* Nice Jewish Girl from New Jersey Who Messes Around writes a book on polyamory, The Ethical Slut is hands-down the best there is. Read it yourself, and give it to a friend. You could even buy the T-shirt and wear it in public.

Polyamory - back to the basics!, 24. Juli 2000
Von Ein Kunde
This book is a wonderful introduction and overview of non-monogamous lifestyles. I could gloss over the honesty, openess and need for permission that others have already mentioned but I will save you a minute so that you can spend it ordering this terrific book. Polygamy - more than one spouse - is the standard through nearly all of the non-Western world. Whether it is polygyny - multiple wives, or polyandry - multiple husbands, over 3/4 of the world population practice it! Polyamory applies to both women and to men and it encompasses many different relationship levels, not just marriage.Reading books on this very old standard as well as how to live this life openly when not in a "relationship" as I am not right now is a wonderful step forward to our more civilized past when people were open and honest and everyone knew what went on and no one had any problem with it! I am VERY happy to see this subject matter breaking into the mainstream and no longer confined to the Anthropology section! Whether you are a swinging "single," a co-wife/co-husband, or anywhere in between, this book has something for you - especially those who consider themselves mono but are involved with someone who is poly! A must read.

Sex & Love with many is NOT wrong if everyone agrees., 30. Juni 2000
I've seen so many failed marriages due to infidelity that recently I began to wonder what I was in for if I ever took that big step. After all, I didn't seem any better than the couples I knew, and certainly I'd been attracted to many different people, both male and female. Thats when I found this book.This is a great read for people with feelings like mine...it gives a great account of the guidelines you need if you ever choose to enter into polyamory. Several good points are emphasized: love and sex are not necessarily the same, one may be an expression of the other but they CAN be completely separate. Love, sex and pleasure are not limited qualities people have...you can love someone else and make love to them without depriving your "primary" partner of the same feelings and actions. Drawbacks are also discussed, including time constraints, jealousy, respecting privacy and property of all your lovers, and coming out to your kids about your relationship (most actually think its pretty cool because there's always someone to talk to). I read this book aloud with my girlfriend because we had always been curious about poly-type relationships. We asked ourselves many questions, and when we finally attended our first party, we were able to talk more afterwards and decided we loved it...and yet we could still be committed to each other! And we're still going strong...thanks to this and other wonderful resources that provided a basis for us to try new things!
