About this book

The Ethical Slut, Third Edition is an updated guide to polyamory, open relationships, and nontraditional relationship structures. The book covers love, sex, and intimacy beyond conventional monogamy, addressing communication, emotional honesty, jealousy, and safer sex practices. This third edition has been revised to include interviews with poly millennials, tributes to polyamory pioneers, and tools for conflict resolution. New sections address asexuality, sex workers, LGBTQ terminology, and ways for people in polyamorous relationships to connect and thrive. The authors expand beyond polyamory to cover other nontraditional relationship arrangements, including couples who don't live together, couples who don't have sex with each other, nonparallel arrangements, couples with divergent sex styles, power disparities, and cross-orientation relationships. The edition uses nonbinary gender language and incorporates new terminology that has emerged since the previous edition.
