From Ancient Greece through the many dynasties of China to current practices of non-monogamy, people have openly engaged in multiple intimate relationships. Not until the late 20th century, however, was a word coined that encapsulated the practice: polyamory.

A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory

More Than Two

Dossie Easton

The classic guide to love, sex, and intimacy beyond the limits of conventional monogamy has been fully updated to reflect today's modern attitudes and the latest information on nontraditional relationships. For 20 years The Ethical Slut has dispelled myths and showed curious readers how to maintain a successful polyamorous lifestyle through open communication, emotional honesty, and safer sex practices. The third edition of this timeless guide to communication and sex has been revised to include interviews with poly millennials (young people who have grown up without the prejudices their elders encountered regarding gender, orientation, sexuality, and relationships), tributes to poly pioneers, and new sidebars on topics such as asexuality, sex workers, and ways polys can connect and thrive. The authors also include new content addressing nontraditional relationships beyond the polyamorous paradigm of "more than two": couples who don't live together, couples who don't have sex with each other, nonparallel arrangements, couples with widely divergent sex styles, power disparities, and cross-orientation relationships, while utilizing nonbinary gender language and new terms that have come into common usage since the last edition.

"Others have turned to Janet W. Hardy's 'The Ethical Slut', 'The New Topping Book' and 'The New Bottoming Book' - for advice on the most challenging questions of sex, polyamory, kink, and self-identity. But Janet had to make it up as she went. How did she do it? Well, as you might expect from the co-author of 'Sex Disasters... and How to Survive Them', it hasn't all been roses (or thorns for that matter). Here, in IMPERVIOUS: Confessions of a Semi-Retired Deviant, Janet takes you through the five twisty stages of her own kinky life--mirroring those of any good scene--negotiation, warmup, engagement, climax, and aftercare. Delicious (and surprising) details await you inside. Bon Appétit!"--Amazon.com.

Confessions of a Semi-retired Deviant

Impervious

Charles Moser, Ph.D., M.D.

"Well, she said she was eighteen." "Hey, where'd the condom go?" "Eww, how do I get these stains out of the sheets?" Some sex disasters make you laugh. Some make you cringe. Some send you running for help. And here's the place to learn about all of them... a jammed handcuff, a short-circuited vibrator, a cop at the door, a date who won't take no for an answer, a gray pubic hair, and dozens more. Physician Moser, educator Hardy, and a consulting team of attorneys, cops, EMTs, therapists and sex educators team up to create a tongue-in-cheek - but factually accurate - guide to surviving those awkward moments inside the bedroom, dungeon, back seat, bushes... "A funny, delightful bedside companion, and an absolutely incredible resource for when things - inevitably - go wrong." - Paul Joannides, author, The Guide to Getting It On

De integere slet

En 1997, un objet littéraire non identifié en provenance des États-Unis nous percutait de plein fouet : The Ethical Slut de Dossie Easton et Janet W Hardy, autrement dit La Salope éthique...Mais quelle était donc cette créature singulière, cette salope autoproclamée et de plus douée d’un sens éthique ? Dans certains cercles avertis l’ouvrage eut un retentissement considérable. Très rapidement il devint la bible de celles et ceux à qui la perspective de la monogamie-jusqu’à-ce-que-la-mort-nous-sépare semblait un tout petit peu terne. Ainsi La Salope Éthique revendiquait le droit de sortir des sentiers battus. Héritière du libertinage et de l’amour libre, elle faisait l’apologie du "polyamour"...sans pour autant invalider la monogamie choisie après mûres réflexions. "Polyamour ?" Vous voulez dire "polygamie ?" Pas exactement. Pour expliquer le polyamour il suffit de prendre en compte les postulats inébranlables sur lesquels il repose : consentement et consensualité, introspection lucide, limites personnelles claires et précises, respect de ces limites ainsi que de celles d’autrui, communication honnête, désir de garantir le bien-être de l’ensemble des partenaires... et puis fidélité. Eh oui, de même que le concept de "salope abstinente" n’est, comme vous le découvrirez dans cet ouvrage, pas un oxymore, la fidélité fait bel et bien partie intégrante des relations multiples. Car fidélité signifie avant tout respect des engagements pris ! Déconstruisant allègrement les mythes et les fondements de l’Occident en matière d’amours et de sexualités, Dossie Easton et Janet W. Hardy ont mis, dans cet ouvrage mis à jour et adapté à notre culture, leur expérience à notre service pour nous offrir une magnifique boîte à outils relationnelle. Désapprentissage de la jalousie, disputes équitables, conflits constructifs, ruptures sereines, tout en baignant dans une abondance d’amour et d’amitié...tout cela est devenu de l’ordre du possible pour les salopes éthiques. Une salope éthique donc, mais aussi épanouie, en harmonie avec le monde et débordante d’humanité. Un guide de vie qui concerne tout le monde au-delà du sexe, du genre et de la sexualité !

La salope éthique

Avoir plusieurs amoureux, les respecter et se respecter

L'éthique des amours plurielles

For millennia, seekers have used physical and emotional extremes to achieve transcendence and exaltation. Today, many BDSM and leather practitioners are discovering the potential of SM practice to reach personal, interpersonal and spiritual goals. In Radical Ecstasy, bestselling BDSM/sexuality authors Easton and Hardy document their own journeys into the transcendent realm of kink. With their trademark frankness and humor, they share their own stories and philosophies. They also share techniques that have worked for them - techniques which combine tantric breathing, visualization and movement with a combined half-century of BDSM experience - to create states of transcendence during solo and partnered sexual and BDSM practice. As outrageously revolutionary as any sex book published in the last decade, Radical Ecstasy sets the stage for the new millennium in BDSM and sacred-sex practices - a "must" for any kink, tantra, pagan or sacred-sex practitioner. "Amazingly mindful exploration of that which cannot be easily put into words... the ecstatic experience from sex to sadomasochism, from trance to intuition to archetypes and spiritual awakening. Totally real and personal. Not a 'how to' but a nurturing 'can do' book." - Fakir Musafar, father of the modern primitive movement. "Progressive, deliciously honest, and HOT HOT HOT! Dossie and Janet ask difficult questions about the nature of sex, intimacy and ecstasy, then they actually manage to answer the questions, plus turn us on when they do. These two erotically gifted women have a way with words - and sex. They raise the bar on erotic writing and sex education to new heights. I'm in awe." - Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D., prostitute/porn star turned sex guru/sexologist "Fascinating, heartfelt, honest, real stories of the heart/spirit/energy connection experienced in the passionate rituals of intimate consensual power play. These two courageous women write brilliantly of how erotic energies connect us with the big love we all seek from the source." - Cleo Dubois, educator, ritualist, video producer/star
