The Lesbian Polyamory Reader: Open Relationships, Non-Monogamy, and Casual Sex: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Lesbian Polyamory Reader: Open Relationships, Non-Monogamy, and Casual Sex" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In reading The Lesbian Polyamory Reader: Open Relationships, Non-Monogamy, and Casual Sex, youll quickly discover that the steps toward love and happiness are as easy as 1, 2, 3, and maybe even 4 or 5. And youll find that if your own lesbian relationship lies outside the traditional monogamous couple model, youre definitely not alone. Youll explore many multifaceted and multifarious love relationships, each one applicable to your own liking, if you so choose. Youll find successful models of relationship styles--regardless of your own orientation--from cover to cover, and youll 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. Youll 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. Youll find satisfaction in seeing the love so many lesbian women have achieved by not mimicking the marriage model of living.

Foreword:
Rhomboid Pegs for Oblong Hearts

Many who profess to worship at the altar of monogamy with a picket fence surrounding hearth and home also want the leeway to slip out the back door and have a little something on the side. Naturally, they think they must lie to the Mrs. or else risk losing that primary relationship and its hope of happily ever after.

Like most people, I was nursed by television, radio and film on models for sexual love that told of love-at-first-sight-unto-forever-and-ever amen. Still, many lesbians and non-lesbians alike experience the anguish of sexual interest refusing to settle down until death-do-us part from a one-and-only.
