The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures by Janet W. Hardy, Dossie Easton

2.0

I was pretty disappointed in this book. Everything I read seemed painfully obvious. Don't be a jerk, keep the lines of communication open, set rules, etc. Pretty standard stuff. And for subject matter with as much potential as this, the book was an incredibly dry read. No fun or enlightening anecdotes, barely any humour, etc. As I read the book it felt like its only accomplishment was existing in a society that generally frowns on this type of content. But the content itself was pretty standard fare. This book is an enigma. If you're open minded enough to buy it, chances are you've already come to these conclusions on your own. If you haven't thought these things through before, chances are you're not the type who would be buying this book.
