Book: The Ethical Slut

Yesterday, I finished reading The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Catherine A. Liszt. It is written for those wanting to learn about polyamorous relationships, but I think many of the principles in the book are valuable in relating to human beings, in general. I definitely think many of the lessons it teaches are valuable for monogamous partners, since polyamorous relationships tend to bring out the extremes of interpersonal relationships. I definitely feel like I learned a lot from it. :)

It is pretty good. It had some really helpful stuff on emotions and agreements and the like.

Sorry I didn't get back to you. Work was all over the place. Had a nice dinner just with Paul tonight. Maybe when I'm back in town in April?

Hope you like it. I think maybe Chris needs to re-read it, so when you're done, can I have it back? :)

A book for the polyamorous eh? I have some friends who could make use of it. Anything you can say about the book aside from the individual relationship aspect you discussed?

Try reading through the reviews on Amazon. There are many different reactions to it and not all nice, but a good amount of them are very positive.
