pickNow this is what I was looking for in a polyamory book! Very relatable, interesting, and informative.
I do wish I‘d read this in paper instead of ebook. There are sections in a different font that was very pale and difficult to read on my Kindle, plus the vocabulary words didn‘t always link back and forth—it would have been easier to flip pages.
pickThis was an enlightening and eye opening book about polyamory and what skills you need in order to do polyamory. What was great is that the skills mentioned throughout this book are applicable to other types of relationships, both romantic and platonic. Great book, highly recommend!
I may not meet my goal this year. That's sad. Reading has been difficult this year due to life changes and other things happening. I am always proud when I do finish a book but this year has still taken a toll on my reading life.
I love this quote however, I don‘t love the context it is used in in this book. It feels also cringy to me. I took the section to mean to just allow people to overstep boundaries and that‘s a no for me. The sixth chapter is just odd. #books #quotes #cleanlove
"What would an ideal relationship be like for me? Who am I but common and collected desires bound by sociocultural norms? What is a 'normal' relationship? What kind of role models do I have for alternative and radical relationships? What are my boundaries, self-imposed or otherwise? What am I scared of?" -Wendy-O Matik, "Redefining Our Relationships"
pickI borrowed this from the library because it‘s considered essential reading for polyamory (and there‘s so much overlap between the queer and polyamorous communities) and it actually led to a really sweet, open dialogue between my spouse and I about future relationship goals. I recommend anyone read this, even if you‘re a monogamist.
Has anybody else read this?! I have never highlighted in a book before, but this has so many notable quotes I have to!!! #RealLife #TruthBeTold
Day 5: A book that makes you happy
I came across this book when I entered a new phase of discovering myself. I love The Ethical Slut. It's realistic, practical, and overall a good book for relationship advice. I am a sex positive person and don't think that Sex or Sexuality should be taboo anymore but in some sense it always will be. This is a great book if you want to feel reassured that the term "slut" can be one of sexual empowerment.
