The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual… by Dossie Easton

"Етичната курва" не е лоша книга и като цяло е добра като идея, но не намерих нищо особено интересно за себе си в нея. Описва етиката и практиката на курварлъка, но явно съм по-напред в него от таргета й.

The New Topping Book by Dossie Easton

Kinky book club
A practical overview of what being a top consists of in the contemporary BDSM environment. Covers lots of considerations and topics including safe words, ethics, where to learn, what to do if stuff goes wrong, shadow play, and spirituality. Sprinkled throughout are recountings of various scenes by the authors and friends. An excellent resource and one I recommend both tops and bottoms should read.

The Ethical Slut : A Practical Guide to Polyamory,… by Janet W. Hardy

I read "Ethical slut" to achieve a greater understanding about alternative relationship styles, not only did I learn a great deal about the topic, I learned so much about my own marriage and discovered that this is one of the best relationship books i've read.

The Ethical Slut, Third Edition: A Practical Guide… by Janet W. Hardy

Third edition published just last year and it's still horribly outdated. For example there's still a section called "personal ads," (no joke) and this is where they briefly mention dating apps and sites without actually really talking about how much they've changed things. The book needs a serious overhaul and it needs it sooner than 2028.

The two old ladies that wrote the book seem like very lovely, intelligent people, but it also feels like getting your dating advice from Steve Buscemi with a skateboard. You know the scene I'm talking about.
