  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;The Ethical Slut&lt;/i&gt; is credited with raising awareness of the possibility of consensual non-monogamy as a lifestyle, and providing practical guidance on how such long-term relationships work and are put into practice.

&lt;i&gt;The Ethical Slut&lt;/i&gt; discusses how to live an active life with multiple concurrent sexual relationships in a fair and honest way. Discussion topics include how to deal with the practical difficulties and opportunities in finding and keeping partners, maintaining relationships with others, and strategies for personal growth.

It contains chapters discussing how consensual nonmonogamy is handled in different subcultures such as the gay and lesbian communities, information on handling scheduling, jealousy, communication, conflict in relationships, and etiquette for group sexual encounters.

    <body><![CDATA[This book had some useful nuggets of information on jealousy, communication, and ways to encourage people to get what they need from their relationships (romantic or otherwise) that I think are applicable to everyone, not just people in poly situations.  Given my age and educational background, some...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4183846">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I wish that I had read this book years ago, when it first came out. I've been struggling with monogamy and its alternatives. The ethical dilemma posed by loving many and still being true and honest to all is a difficult one to resolve. The book is fun and filled with entertaining anecdotes, but is u...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50075405">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[okay, i know that polyamory is passe, but i read some bit of this years ago and figured i'd return and polish it off. the book is kind of sprawling--advice plus philosophy plus sexy story interludes--in a way that precludes much depth, but the advice is sound (i guess) and the philosophy makes sense...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46416500">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What did I learn from this book? It didn't have anything that blew my mind or made me reevaluate my life, but the authors do set out a number of ideas to which I'm sympathetic, and they do so in a clear, engaging way that's as ethical as the title promises. For me, a &quot;slut&quot; is by definitio...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42851497">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Totally the epitome of the &quot;It was ok&quot; rating. I think the only people who read this book and really really love it are people who are looking for some validation (&quot;it's in a book - it's gotta be legit!&quot;) for polyamory. I think polyamory is pretty valid, but the authors seem self...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12246661">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book let's you learn about nonmonogamy from nice older (than me) hippie women. It was a little too rainbows and flowers toned for my taste but i have to go back and skim over it again... It was cool to read about the authors' personnal lives and relationships. ]]></body>
