The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities

Dossie Easton
Catherine A. Liszt
Greenery Press


As you have probably guessed from the title, Easton and Liszt do not shy away from saying what they want. And in the world of polyamory, that skill is invaluable.

The authors cover a large number of topics involved in having multiple sexual relationships, looking at everything from STDs and dealing with the societal pressures against polysexuality to negotiation and relationship skills.

One of the many strengths of this book for many readers is its very direct, step-by-step explanations of (for example) negotiating types of sexual behavior. There's also some very interesting material about jealousy, insecurity, and some interesting thoughts about where those feelings come from.

Another strength of this book is the direct, friendly tone of the authors. They make this book a great deal of fun to read.

Tania rates this book a 9 (Truly Delightful) and says:
I was thrilled to finally find a book on the subject of polyamory. It was the first sign of hope I found for us. I can only say that I wept with joy to find out we were not alone.

It could be used as a textbook for the polyamorous--as a matter of fact I used a highliter to mark the parts I thought were the most relevent to my situation.

Liz rates this book a 9 (Truly Delightful) and says:
As a good friend of mine put it, this book should be "required reading for being alive." Even if you are behaviorally monogamous you will learn something about managing your emotions and being a good partner for one or as many as you desire.

Bill rates this book a 7 (Very Good) and says:
A very interesting and well-written book. Contains a lot of useful tips for having a polysexual relationship. However I felt there wasn't enough coverage of the emotional/romantic aspect of polyamory.

This book has so many good points, it's impossible to list them all! The non-judgemental attitude, practical tips, personal experiences, comprehensive subject coverage, and friendly tone of the authors are the best parts. If you can only purchase one book about polyamory, it should be this one!

His Little Flower rates this book a 10 (Best Book Available on the Subject) and says:
I Really enjoyed the book because it gave me some insight on just how far your partner will go, to continue his hidden lifestyle, and try and keep me happy at the same time. Only a Selfish person would lead him to believe that it could work this way.

Cheryl A. Cross rates this book a 10 (Best Book Available on the Subject) and says:
As a sexuality educator/counselor and therapist I have had the pleasure of working with many individuals and couples who are moving into or curious about responsible non-monogomy. This is the first book I reference whenever the occasion comes up. Writing and life partners, Easton and Liszt have combined their own polyfidelity experiences together with a friendly writing style that anyone can understand. This honest portrayal and "guide" to Polyamory is essential to those considering, entering into or engaging into any type of sexual and or emotional relationships involving two or more people. A++
