The Ethical Slut Workbook: An Adventurer's Companion to Joyous, Sustainable Relationships of All Kinds

Discover the possibilities of joyous, sustainable relationships with yourself and others through this thoughtful and engaging workbook from the bestselling authors of the groundbreaking The Ethical Slut.

For more than two decades, The Ethical Slut--which has sold over half of a million copies since its original publication--has dispelled myths and showed curious readers of all orientations how to maintain successful nontraditional relationships through open communication, emotional honesty, and safer sex practices.

Whether you've read The Ethical Slut or not, whether you're new or well-versed in the spectrums of gender and sexuality, this is the perfect starting point. If you're looking to offer love and support to yourself and the people you care about, discover your ideal style of loving yourself and others, or expand your understanding of what makes a relationship work, The Ethical Slut Workbook takes you on an exploration of the wonderful world of relationships.

Sex experts Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy walk readers through the process of understanding relationships and how they can look through exercises and writing activities (to do solo, or with a partner) like:

• What do you want out of your relationships? How do you picture your romantic life?

• Describe your sex life as it is today. What would you change, if changing were easy?

• So you want to open up your relationship--write down the perfect way the conversation with your partner could go. What are some issues that may arise during that conversation?

• What's a healthy relationship you've seen? What was your criteria for a healthy relationship? Do you feel like there may be any downsides to this kind of relationship?

In The Ethical Slut Workbook, Dossie and Janet have distilled their combined decades of knowledge into this workbook of thoughtful questions, hypothetical scenarios, and list-making prompts for anyone who wants to break free from society's standard for relationships. This guided journal is the ultimate tool to discover the possibilities of joyous, sustainable relationships outside of traditional monogamy.
