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!

Fantastic

One of the best books I’ve read in a very long time.

It’s defining.... I resonated with so much of what was said and felt completely validated in my views and approaches to being an ethical Slut.

Very well done & thank you 🙏🏾
