Vicki Vantoch is such a wonderful writer; she weaves humor and facts into this very interesting book. She uses research as well as personal tales into explaining and helping define the best ways to have a threesome, or build a loving, threesome relationship.

Absolutely a fun read, and informative.

If Vicki ever writes another book, on any subject, I will gladly and eagerly go out and buy it.

I read it cuz it was mentioned in Savage Love; not cuz that's what I'm in to, honest.

First of all, Vicki Vantoch is so goddamn clever that it's near criminal. I'm pretty sure she could write me a review of the back of a cereal box and I'd give it five stars, so perhaps I'm biased; but, to be fair, it's hard to find women who are, like Vantoch, whip smart, honest, and unabashedly sexually curious.

I'm sure a lot of people take this book at face value as just a position guide with maybe some behavioral hints. And those people will get what they're looking for- nestled into an exhaustive exploration into the dynamics of triads and group relationships. Any question you have surely dredged up in your many hours of pondering the subject, Vantoch has an answer, or at least a good reference for where to seek further elaboration. Homegirl did her homework, to put it lightly. It's like reading a textbook, except you didn't pay $300 for it and will sell it back for $50 at the end of the semester. Also, it's fantastically interesting. Not that I discriminate against textbooks. I digress.

As someone who is bisexual and has been in an open relationship for nearly 6 years, this book spoke deeply to me and my concerns in my lifestyle- however, I feel like it's accessible enough that the straight (but curious) monogamous reader will be able to grab on with both hands. So to speak.

I would recommend this to anyone considering a triad, polyamory, a one-time threesome or a full time fling. I would recommend it to the sociology buff who is curious about sexual and relationship dynamics outside of monogamy and binary. I would also recommend myself to Vantoch and her husband should they decide they want a fourth.

READ IT. You're only robbing yourself if you don't.
