 * Description:The Lesbian Polyamory Reader: Open Relationships, Non-Monogamy, and Casual Sex The Lesbian Polyamory Reader: Open Relationships, Non-Monogamy, and Casual Sex will help readers quickly discover that the steps toward love and happiness are as easy as 1,2, 3, and maybe even 4 or 5. This frank and forward book will show its readers that if their own lesbian relationships lie outside the "traditional monogamous couple" model, they're definitely not alone. Treated to an all-fronts exploration into the many aspects and varieties of love relationships of women, readers will also find successful models of relationship styles -- regardless of their own orientation -- from cover to cover. And they'll discover the pleasing polyphony in the many, many female voices of authorities on love and love relationships.

 * Description:Henkin and Holiday offer a very useful book about BDSM for mainly beginners in the scene but also for anyone who just like staying on top of opinions about BDSM. The book is well organized with a glossary right after a good discussion of special terms used in BDSM. Likewise sample negotiation forms are found at the end of the chapter where the procedure is explained. The largest section of the book concerns safety but not necessarily the kind you might find in "On the Safe Edge" or "Learning the Ropes". Here the focus is on learning about yourself first, learning about your partner second, and then how to explore BDSM. Throughout the idea that BDSM is primarily a pleasureable partnership is embraced and indeed in my personal experiences the best SM or Ds relationships are partnerships. Neither Henkin nor Holiday say that their way is the only way but they give solid reasons for their opinions and make suggestions based on years in the scene and as scholars and educators.
