Don't let the title fool you. this IS a serious, thoughtful (and thought-provoking) comprehensive introduction to, and examination of, a much misunderstood and misused practice. But more than that, it is a witty, provocative, damn fine read, with as much to offer to the faithfully monogamous as to those looking for a bit more out of life, love and relationships. Go on. Dive in. "Wendy-O tackles a touchy subject with clarity and creativity. She is wise beyond her years. This guide teaches you how you can have it all. I gave the jealousy tips to my lover immediately." Annie Sprinkle]
This is an excellent guide for anyone thinking about alternative models of relationships. It provides real, practical, hands-on advice for maintaining non-monogamous relationships from the author's personal experience. Short enough to be read in one sitting and re-read often, this book really helped me make sense of my own relationships and experiences. Highly recommended!

It's so wonderful to know that I'm not alone in wanting more out of life, but still wanting to remain married. It has given me the confidence to pursue my dreams, my life, and hopefully my straying husband will read the book one day!

However it obviously comes directly from the author's personal experience and will help you steer through the complexities that might arise should you decide to pursue a polyamorous lifestyle. What is refereshing is that Wendy...

This book is slender yet packed with thoughts, expressed clearly and succinctly. The author is a poet who lives the alternate lifestyle. The focus of her book is not limited to polyamorous sexual relationships, but goes beyond that to the many forms in which love and intimacy are shared. Although it is about polyamorous relationships, it is more than that -- it is a meditation on love, and invites the reader to think outside...
