Critic reviews
"I couldn't stop reading it, and I for one identify as an ethical slut. This is a book for anyone interested in creating more pleasure in their lives...a complete guide to improving any style of relating, from going steady to having an extended family of sexual friends." (Betty Dodson, PhD, author of Sex for One)

Very good, though a bit patronizing at times
I very much enjoyed this book, lots of good hippies and feminist spirits, though I definitely prefer "more than two" in terms of Polyamory as it has -in my opinion- a better stance with regards to veto rights and hierarchical relationships (both of which are dealt with more critical in MTT). I also found TES slightly more rebellious, but perhaps that's perhaps because it is a newer book, faced with the challenge of introducing a new concept, whereas MTT most likely built upon that knowledge.

For all those wanting to broaden their mindset !
I’m not in a poly relationship, nor do I think the life style is for me, but this book is a must for anyone who likes to have no restraints and likes the kinker, exploring, and fun side of sex!

A thought provoking book.
A great book for anyone interested in learning about sex, relationships, communication, and more about the different lifestyles people choose. I think some of the advice surrounding communication can be extrapolated to any relationships, not just those that fall under polyamory. Not so much a guide, but a well informed look from a very sex positive point of view. A must read for anyone although I personally got a lot from it and learned quite a bit. Don't be ashamed by reading this, embrace the sluttery and get your rocks off by giving it a go!

Useful to younger audiences
The book was well structured and included some very useful information about relationships in general. However, I found that it did not offer me any new information. I'm in my mid 30s and have experienced a plethora of relationships (monogamous so far, new to the ENM world). All the knowledge in this book, I have found that I already possessed from life experience. I guess poly relationships aren't that much different to any other human relationships. I do think however it is a very lovely book for younger people, it is a great way to introduce them into the world of ethical non monogamy!

A wonderful book - and perfect as an audiobook
What did you like most about The Ethical Slut?
Much of the writing is done as if you were being spoken to. So naturally, when narrated as an audiobook, you often are being spoken to directly. A wonderful book and the perfect subject of an audiobook.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Ethical Slut?
Listening to the narrator describe how she fell in love with a woman who at first intimidated her.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I very often laughed out loud in public. Quite embarrassing.
Any additional comments?
A great book. Even though it may be targetted at women, there is no reason a man cannot enjoy it and glean a great deal of wisdom from it.

Brilliant reading!
In my opinion this book is mind opening regardless if you embrace the concept or not. All real stories and proposed exercises are so interesting and captivating at the same time. It is unbelievable how much tolerance, kindness and love is in this book...
