 The
Lesbian Polyamory Reader : Open Relationships, Non-Monogamy, and
Casual Sex by Marcia Munson (Editor), Judith P.
Stelboum (Editor)
In reading The Lesbian Polyamory Reader: Open
Relationships, Non-Monogamy, and Casual Sex, you'll quickly
discover that the steps toward love and happiness are as easy as
1, 2, 3, and maybe even 4 or 5. And you'll find that if your own
lesbian relationship lies outside the "traditional monogamous
couple" model, you're definitely not alone. You'll explore
many multifaceted and multifarious love relationships, each one
applicable to your own liking, if you so choose. You'll find
successful models of relationship styles-regardless of your own
orientation-from cover to cover, and you'll discover the pleasing
polyphony in the many, many female voices of authorities on love
and love relationships. Whereas other similar studies project the
limited view of one or two authors, The Lesbian Polyamory Reader
calls upon a broad scope of writers, professional women and
academics alike. You'll see that outside the gay rights movement
that currently pushes for a traditional, monogamous marriage model
of gay couplehood, there lies pleasing multiplicity in the arms
and hearts of lesbians worldwide. Specifically, this collection
offers:-"first person" articles-stories that describe a
variety of lesbian experiences relating to multiple lovers in the
1970s, '80s, and '90s -"how-to" articles-descriptions of
the various polyamorous relationship configurations, including
ways of dealing with jealousy-"theoretical" pieces-the
history of multiple relationships, the social implications of
practicing a love style other than monogamous coupling, and safer
sex considerations. Much, much more than a book on personal
satisfaction, The Lesbian Polyamory Reader also focuses on the
social implications of this love phenomenon, bringing it into a
more inclusive circle of discussion for lesbians, educators, and
students of sociology and sexology. You'll find satisfaction in
seeing the love so many lesbian women have achieved by not
mimicking the "marriage model" of living.
Lesbian alternatives to heterosexual concepts of
monogamy
This is the first important Lesbian anthology to speak about the
joys, problems struggles and successes of living life with
multiple involvements. Also includes thoeretical articles and
analytical essays addressing the social and political significance
of choosing a love style other than monogamous coupling. -- The
author, Judith P. Stelboum
