"Very good book. Did not have everything I had hoped, but no book on this topic can be tailored to a specific audience. I recommend it to anyone interested in finding out about the darker side...
"These Easton books taught me absolutely nothing about how to approach topping, bottoming, or a poly lifestyle. All they say is to communicate and sit patiently with whatever your partner has to say unless it cramps your poly style -- hey what a great idea! to talk to your partner! & your "wrong"-headed feelings of jealousy will magically go away if you just talk yourself out of them.
There is very little practical advice about how to find community, multiple approaches to different types of relationships, etc. It's a very "free to be you and me as long as you're cool with everything" attitude. I think the reason they are so popular is because there really aren't very many good non-fiction books out there about these issues.
I'm waiting for Easton to write a beyond-the-basics book that explores the issues far deeper. One brief chapter of The Lesbian Sex Manual has more information about fantasy exploration and its benefits and potential hazards than do these books added together. And if you are interested in polyamory, try The Lesbian Polyamory Reader. You don't have to be a lesbian to appreciate the multiple perspectives expressed and the wisdom dispensed within."
