Opening Up will change the way you think about intimacy.

What the critics say

"This is the book you want to read if you're looking for a voice that is balanced, sensitive and sensible when tackling the thorny question of sexual boundaries in love relationships. Opening Up is sure to open up your mind." (Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity)

Most Relevant
The content of this book is wonderful. It answers a lot of questions about open relationships and covers a wide range of topics. Where this book falls apart is with the narrator, while her voice is okay, it is very nasal, and when she attempts to change her tone to suit “characters” it is ridiculous and takes away from the content.

Content is Fabulous. Narrator is Terrible.
