Story5 out of 5 stars 6
Contemporary relationships are in a state of rapid evolution. These changes can and should empower people with the opportunity to develop partnerships based on their own sexualities, understandings, and agreements. This makes it possible to create what Kenneth Haslam, founder of the Kinsey Institute's Polyamory Archive, has called designer relationships. The possibilities are limitless, and thinking about a partnership as something people can craft allows for flexibility and change.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 100
Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Mainstream science - as well as religious and cultural institutions - has maintained that men and women evolved in families in which a man's possessions and protection were exchanged for a woman's fertility and fidelity. But this narrative is collapsing....

An essential exploration of why and how women's sexuality works - based on groundbreaking research and brain science - that will radically transform your sex life into one filled with confidence and joy. Researchers have spent the last decade trying to develop a "pink pill" for women to function like Viagra does for men. So where is it? Well, for reasons this book makes crystal clear, that pill will never exist - but as a result of the research that's gone into it, scientists in the last few years have learned more about how women's sexuality works than we ever thought possible.

Unpleasant
I am excited about the content of this audiobook, but the voice is nearly unlistenable for me. Her voice sounds like text-to-speech software, uninflected and disjointed. I regret buying it.

A great guide for all
This book is a collection of advice you hear in the polyam community wrapped in a personal perspective. Several times I found myself having to skip back because something thought provoking would send my mind on a tangent. It may be my new go to recommendation for people asking where to start.

Accessible!
Dedeker Winston is incredibly knowledgeable of non monogamy and healthily relationships; she has also clearly refined her book to a very high level of concision in the editing process. Of all of the books that I have read on polyamory, this one sticks out for having a perfect balance of technically knowledge and practical application. It does not feel like a textbook, however it is filled with information. I believe anyone could pick up this book and easily comprehend what she is talking about. it is clear in her writing that she is cognizant of the variety of people that would find value on her book and she writes as inclusively as possible. I feel that this is one of the best books to give to someone that does not yet understand polyamory or wants to improve their relationships. I have already given this book to three people and I am sure that I will gift it to more in the future.

Amazing, Motivational and Informative!
I am so excited to listen to Dedeker Winston's book! I have been wanting to read it for the last year and just haven't done so. I love all the history and information. The non-biased explanations and points of view. To me this is truly a book on Love and its endless potential of personal meanings. I enjoy the reader, Stephanie Rose, and how she adjusts her voice to fit the individual statements. Totally a book worth listening to more than once.

lots of stuff you can piece together from various sources, but insightful. I enjoyed the historical explorations of non-monogamy and hearing individual women's experiences.

Loved ♥ it!
This is a very well-written book about polyamory. It is filled with great information and insight about relationships, communication, and being true to yourself. Love is love. You cannot control whom you love.
