Llegué a la página 170 pero pude haberlo abandonado antes. Tenía grandes expectativas, pero me quedo con la sensación de que las autoras en su afán de enseñarnos a ser éticas en cuanto a las relaciones abiertas, dictan un manual cuyos ejercicios y conceptos no distan del todo de la heteronorma. Igual fue una plataforma para ver lo que no me representa y lo que hace falta construir y desaprender.
As I finish this book, all I can feel is gratitude, excitement and a big sense of calm. Despite also being anxious about some of the things I learned, I feel overwhelmingly excited and comforted by everything this book taught me. Thank you ❤️
Very long...interesting, but very long. I also don't think this book is very accessible to a broader population. I found it to be very high level which makes the concept of polyamory inaccessible to more people. Interesting nonetheless.

One of the best non-Marxist texts I've read in a long, long time. So good that I actually forgot that it is a self-help book.
This book absolutely builds upon the foundation it built upon the publication of its first addition 25 years ago: sex is nice and pleasure is good for you. It continues (now with the inclusion of non-binary gender, asexuality, and better views on consent and boundaries) its unraveling of toxic monogamy-as-the-norm views and practices that have dominated society for centuries now, and reemphasizes polyamorous love as a historical and valid form of love that has existed time immemorial.
Even if you're not polyamorous, I'd still highly recommend this book because it tackles issues that couples in monogamous relationships face: outside desire, anxiety around sex, and jealousy. My only complaint is that I wish this book were longer.

yes it's the polyam classic but by today's standards it's really not that useful anymore. ironically it's also quite couple-centric.
I doubt I have anything to say on this that hasn't been said before! I am very glad I read this because there are very few resources to encourage me to live my best single life, and even fewer that believe me when I say I don't have capacity for a Relationship or to fall in love. So this was very validating. I recommend! It's not so much of a practical guide as I hoped, but still useful.
