Mama Luv on Books

Title: “The Ethical Slut” This deceptively slender paperback (it's less than 300 pages) provocatively titled, The Ethical Slut, is a great beginner's guide to the world of polyamory and then some. Even if this relationship style is not your cuppa tea (or in fact you don't know what polyamory is all about!) it's definitely a good read and look into how such open possibilities can work. Heck, some of the communication exercises can be adapted for monogamous couplings. *Side note* The authors have since come out with a recent edition on the topic, including information on polyamory communities online. I'll be picking this one up!
