The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy. First off, I read the shit out of this book. 2nd, wow what a journey...I'm just gonna quote a few things instead of talking about it. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in better communication, explicit definitions of consent, open-mindedness of human reality, and a read for cultivating hope for the future. ---- "There are lots of ways to relate, to love, to express gender, to share sex, to for families, o be in the world, to be human…and none of them in any way reduces or invalidates any of the others. When we open our mind to to a world beyond opposites, we become able to see beyond unrealistic perfection and unachievable goals... Thus sluthood can become a path to transcendence, a freeing of the mind and spirit as well as the body, a way of being in the world that allows expanded awareness, spiritual growth, and love beyond imagining." "We believe the monogamy will continue to thrive as it always has, a perfectly valid choice for those who truly choose it. (We don’t think it’s much of a choice when you are forbidden to choose anything else.) We believe that new forms of famous are evolving now and will continue to evolve, not to supplant the nuclear family but to supplement it with an amazing abundance, a whole world of choices about sharing family and sex and love. We want to se you free to invent the society you want to live in." #sluthood #sex #sexuality #gender #orientation #consent #individuality #transcendence #freelove #lovewillprevail
