Critic Reviews

"I couldn't stop reading it, and I for one identify as an ethical slut. This is a book for anyone interested in creating more pleasure in their lives...a complete guide to improving any style of relating, from going steady to having an extended family of sexual friends." (Betty Dodson, PhD, author of Sex for One)

Life-changing

This book began improving my life before I had even finished reading it. I'd recommend it to anyone- poly, mono or in between. Amazing lessons on communication and practical exercises you can do around jealousy were standouts.

Thought provoking

This book challenged my thinking and feelings which I loved. Good advice for any relationship styles on communication. I have plenty to think about and become aware of my biases.
