Helpful Score: 11

This is such a fantastic book. A friend of mine bought it for me and it presented a lot of new ideas while also confirming some of the ideas I already had about polyamory. It's not just a book trying to convert anyone and everyone though, it just presents the ideas in a logical way and states again and again that it may not be for you and YOU need to want to be poly for poly to work for you-- not just your partner(s).

Aside from that, it's just a great book about communication, almost a self help book for people who want to get to know their sexual side, or who already do know their sexual side and can't find people who understand. The Authors understand and they give tips on 'owning your feeling,' ways to fight constructively, strategies for dealing with jealousy, and so much more.

The gender studies major in me loves the first chapter and the ways they deconstruct monogamy and antisex culture. They point out loud and clear that NO it has NOT always been the way it is now.

It's such a great read, I'd recommend it to anyone interested in sexuality, gender studies, polyamory, having really strong supportive relationships, honest people, guilty people, and anyone proud to be a slut. :)
