Poly: Tristan's New Site

And along the lines of new recommendations, I was recently pointed toward Tristan Taormino's new site, Opening Up, about open relationships (she also has a sex advice site, and she makes awesome porn. Um, yeah. I'm a bit of a fangirl.) I'm looking forward to reading the book, but the blog has some really great links (some of you may be particularly interested in the post about the Survey of Sex Professionals' Relationships, which I agree absolutely needs more study.

I read it on Friday. It is my new recommended poly-101/201 book. I used to tell people that they should read The Ethical Slut, but be warned that it has serious failings and is more about polyfuckery than about actual ongoing poly relationships. And that they should read Group Marriage instead if they could find a copy of it.

Also, HJ and I were interviewed for it, and I'm quoted multiple times. ;)

Oh, rock! I'll definitely keep an eye out for your quotes!

Everyone interviewed was pseudonym'd. There is a Lee in the book -- but it isn't me. My pseudonym is "Pat".

I feel the same.

About Tristan, or the Survey?

I feel the same about both. Thanks for passing on the link, as I hadn't found the site myself. And I haven't read the book, although I now have additional incentive knowing that people I know are mentioned under pseudonym!

My pleasure!

It's all about sharing the info...
