Updating a book of such historical significance is no easy task, but \n\u003ci\u003eThe Ethical Slut, Third Edition \u003c\/i\u003esucceeds beautifully. Where the original broke radical new ground, this edition is more nuanced, a book for a more complex age. In the third edition, we see the wide variety of forms ethical non-monogamy, and indeed human sexual relationships, can take. This new version brings a new focus on consent, talks about the many wonderful and varied ways ethical non-monogamy happens, and shows an appreciation for the vast range of human sexuality. This is \n\u003ci\u003eThe Ethical Slut\u003c\/i\u003e for a new era, and cements the book's place as one of the cornerstones of modern non-monogamous thought.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e--Franklin Veaux, \u003ci\u003eMore Than Two: A practical guide to ethical polyamory\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\"In the two decades since the first edition of \n\u003ci\u003e The Ethical Slut\u003c\/i\u003e has been published, polyamory has expanded into a practice that, if not outright mainstream, is at least much more widely accepted and understood.
