DESCRIPTION:
Anecdotes and personal experiences allow the reader to develop a better understanding of polyamory and the people who practice and enjoy it. Without judgement, she explores this increasingly common practice, and reveals the true nature of a lifestyle that many do not understand.. Anapol addresses the practical, the utopian, and the shadow sides of this intriguing, mysterious, yet often threatening lifestyle. Unlike other books on this topic, Polyamory in the 21st Century weaves together research and facts to provide an informed and impartial analysis of polyamory as a lifestyle and as a
She leads seminars on love, sex, and intimacy around the country and the world.. She has taught psychology and human sexuality at the University of Washington in Seattle and Antioch University in San Francisco. Deborah Anapol is the author of Polyamory: The New Love without Limits and The Seven Natural Laws of Love
From Publishers Weekly Anapol (Polyamory: The New Love Without Limits) gives the lie to her title by spending much of this disjointed book musing about her own personal experiences with nonmonogamy and activism over the past several decades. Interesting facts and overviews of nonmonogamy throughout history and across much of the world are obscured by terms like "lovestyles" and "sexualoving," reliance on binary gender constructs and gender essentialism, asides about Anapol's personal dalliances, and plugs for her other books.

So Many Men, So Little Time? It May be in Your Genes! Giving sociological, biological, and historical evidence, a controversial new book reveals how being scandalous might just be your nature - and how you've been tricked into believing it isn't!Any attempt to review Dr. David Ley's "Insatiable Wive - Women Who Stray and the Men Who Love Them" is met with fierce quandries. Should it be approached from a clinical stand point so the importance of the book's message isn't overly sexualized? . Deacon Blues said This book should be MANDATORY reading for all women and even some men BEFORE they ever get married!. A very well written book, easily readable but full of amazing facts, it absolutely is NOT porno, erotica, or stupid sex fantasies. The author really did his research well, and cites the sources that he uses for reference. I have been married "This book should be MANDATORY reading for all women and even some men BEFORE they ever get married!" according to Deacon Blues.

I have been married 28 years now, some good LOTS of bad, but still married, and I seriously do believe that far more marriages would stay together if every woman read this book BEFORE she gets married.. 8 years now, some good LOTS of bad, but still married, and I seriously do believe that far more marriages would stay together if every woman read this book BEFORE she gets married.. "Not great" according to John Paul Sassone. Maybe its because I've been involved in this lifestyle for many years that I found the material repetitive and basic and nothing not found in other, more interesting books. And I'm confused about the purpose of the book. Was it about cuckolding, which is not about straying women? Was it about swinging? Again, not straying women. It's not about polyamory, it's more about open marriages, which is fine but doesn't really fit with its titl
