 | The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities Dossie Easton and Catherine Lizst Date: 01 December, 1998 — $11.87 — Book Rating: |
This book could have been just as easily entitled, "The Libertine Guide". Unlike most practical guides to nonmonogamous lifestyles, which focus on either polyamory or swinging, this book is an excellent introduction to the true libertine (or "slut", to use their terminology) lifestyle. Their motto, expressed early in the book is, "The best reason to have sex is no reason at all", is true to the spirit of libertinism. Their emphasis is on honesty and openness being essential to making this a valid, positive choice.
The authors cover a wide range of topics, including values and ethics conducive to being an ethical slut(libertine), exploring and exploding myths and outmoded beliefs about sexuality, different ways of being a libertine, definition of terms related to nonmonogamous reationships, useful how-to tips, health concerns, practical issues, handling jealousy, legal issues, being in love, exploring sexual beliefs and possibilities, among many other things.
This book is a must read for those interested in pursuing a responsible libertine lifestyle and also for those who seek to understand the libertine in their lives. Highly recommended.
