The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love by Janet W. Hardy, Dossie Easton

4.0

Great book to begin shaking off the idea of monogamy as the “ideal” or “correct” way to relate to others. The book feels a bit condescending at times and sometimes speaks from a place of privilege without acknowledging difficulties of people who want to explore polyamory from outside the big cities of USA.

Also, I feel like this book centers too much on hierarchical polyamory, implying primary partners have say on secondary relationships one may have. It is important to take into consideration this implication and how it boxes up (again) people in a structure where the main decisions on relating are taken by a couple…
