The Ethical Slut Third Edition Polyamory Guide is the fully revised edition of the classic handbook on love, sex, and intimacy beyond conventional monogamy. Written by Janet W. Hardy and Dossie Easton, this timeless bestseller has guided curious readers for two decades and has been updated to reflect modern attitudes toward open relationships, gender, and sexuality.
Widely known as the "Poly Bible," this practical guide dispels myths and shows how to build and maintain fulfilling nontraditional relationships through open communication, emotional honesty, and safer-sex practices. It moves well beyond the polyamorous paradigm of "more than two," addressing couples who live apart, couples with divergent sex styles, power disparities, nonparallel arrangements, and cross-orientation relationships.
This edition adds fresh, inclusive content for a new generation of readers. Expect interviews with poly millennials, tributes to polyamory pioneers, practical tools for conflict resolution, and new sidebars on asexuality, sex workers, and LGBTQ terminology, all written using nonbinary gender language and current vocabulary.
