The Ethical Slut

The Ethical Slut is more than just a simple book. It is a guide for polyamory and open relationships. Dossie Easton and Catherine Liszt wrote it with the purpose of providing a guide for consensual non-monogamy as a lifestyle and how long term relationships would work in such lifestyle. In this book the authors defy the traditional views that society has about how a relationship should be and it offers a new perspective for those who have been feeling out of place and trapped in a world that doesn’t understand their way of loving.

I think that this book is well informed and reliable, because it is based on the author’s own experiences and their studies. While reading this book, I was introduced to many ways of loving that I wasn’t aware existed. The authors present a model for relationship not based on convenience and conventions but on friendship, love and free will. I learned that one person to feel complete doesn’t need to have a partner, we should first have a good relationship with ourselves, and that is what we share with others in a healthy way.

In my opinion each person is different with different likes and dislikes, needs and desire, therefore everyone should have the right to choose the way they want to love thus the way they wish to live their life.
