Let me know what you think if you do read it.

You're not the only one that feels that way! Thanks for the comment :)

I agree with having morals - this book will definitely not be for you. Thanks for commenting :)

This book is a no for me. The society we live in has become so comfortable with allowing their spouses to step out on them, but I will not tolerate such disrespect. If you don’t want full-time commitment or feel as if you still want to be with other people, remain a single person and do as you please, but don’t string along an innocent person and hurt them because of your own selfishness and insecurities.

Like you, I enjoy being challenged by a good debate and probably would've picked up the book based on the title, but thanks to your review I can save myself the time and energy. It's unfortunate that the author took such a hard stance and enforced stereotypes, especially since most people world of polyamory disagree that so vehemently. Pass on this one for me. Great review though! Very insightful. :)

Not a really catchy topic, and I think its a topic not up for discussion because we know it sure ain't right and we all have different reactions. Not good.

I haven't read the book. But the title makes it easy to understand along with the rater's comments.

My personal feelings is that those who try to spice things up with their lover should not be in a relationship at all. They are in my view polyamorists that feel they need to oblige themselves into seemingly cultural norms. Or, at worst, protest perceived cultural norms.

What we know:

Talking and listening are human cultural norms.
Romantic sexuality is not a cultural norm.

Hmm, the title of the book caught my attention, and as a matter of fact, I was so eager to pick it up and read, but the review turned me off. However, the reviewer believes in fairness, and so having stated that the book has nothing new to offer is trying to force his personal opinion on me and and interested reader. I am highly adventurous, and would not follow everything he says. True, I want to read the book to form my own opinion of the book!

Whao This is my kind of book.the title will gain a lot of attention but the content would attract those relationship-like persons because It focuses on sexuality and relationship. I really like it and involves poetry.

Latest Review: Murder in Memory by Mike Thorne

The title provokes. It certainly catches one's attention. However, the review shows that the author wrote a superficial defense of promiscuity. Perhaps a weak defense was all the author could come up with suggested by the author's pushing the reader to find the supports on Google or elsewhere. The argument could have been explored with much more rigor. I am sympathetic to the reviewer's feeling of being deceived when coming to the last 30 percent consisting of poetry. This genre shifting from non-fiction to poetry feels like a betrayal of the reader.
