Entering into a polyamorous relationship or any form of open relation can be bumpy at the beginning, therefore it is great to read about other peoples experiences when you get started or also while already being in the middle of it. In addition find people who you can talk to about your own experiences, it can feel even more challenging if you believe you are the only one doing polyamory.
“More than two” by Eve Rickert & Franklin Veaux
- reference book on all things polyamory
- mixed with deep insights & personal experiences
- highly recommend it, except for sometimes they make it sound too simple “you just need to communicate your needs”, well if you learned how to do it…
“Ethical Slut” by Janet W. Hardy & Dossie Easton
- earlier reference book on all things polyamory, available with updates
- including inspiring personal stories
- highly recommend it
>> I would recommend choosing either “More than two” or “Ethical slut”, otherwise it might feel a bit repetitive.
“Sex at Dawn” by Christopher Ryan & Cacilda Jethá
- a deep scientific insight on why it is not natural for us human beings to be monogamous and why polyamory is so much more us ever since humans live on planet earth
- nicely peppered with subtle jokes
- highly recommended
