Title: Polyamory: The New Love Without Limits : Secrets of Sustainable Intimate Relationships by Deborah M, Dr. Anapol ISBN: 1-880789-08-6 Publisher: Intinet Resource Center Pub. Date: 01 March, 1997 Format: Paperback List Price(USD): $16.00 |

Summary: An excellent introduction to polyamory.
Comment: Love Without Limits is a solid introduction to
polyamory. Polyamory is the practice of
having multiple ethical, honest, non-monogamous
relationships.
Making polyamorous relationships work can be difficult for many people... they bring up issues not always faced in monogamous relationships, and poly families often have few role models and friends who can provide experienced advice. This makes books like this one extremely important.
Topics covered include ethics, how to tell if polyamory is right for you, skills for successfully managing polyamorous relationships, jealousy, managing transitions from monogamy to non-monogamy, coming out, and many more.
While this book is clearly aimed at people in or considering polyamorous relationships, I would also recommend its section on relationship skills (the chapter "Eight Steps to Successful Polaymory") to people in or considering monogamous relationships.
Highly recommended. In addition, people
who enjoy this book may also want to look
at a book which approaches some of these
topics from a similar but not identical
viewpoint: "The Ethical Slut: A guide
to infinite sexual possiblities" by
Easton, Dossie and Liszt, Catherine A.,
Greenery Press, 1997.

Summary: How I spent my summer vacation
Comment: If you are morally repulsed by the concept of establishing a loving relationship with several partners at once, don't buy this book. This book won't change your mind.
BUT...if polyamory appeals to you, read on!
Much of the book outlines what should be common sense, but common sense is often the first thing forgotten in any sexual relationship. Anapol writes very clearly and consisely and is very complete in describing each point to her plan for a successful intimate relationship with your mates. Each point that she raises makes sense and I have yet to disagree with any of her ideas.
This book is easy to read. Sometimes, books of this nature focus on flowery language and bury the most important topics with allusions. Instead, this book reads like a straight forward how-to manual for your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Her plain language approach works well in detailing what you need to do to re-channel jealousy as well as what you need to do to make sure everyone in your household remains happy.
Many of the practices and concepts that Anapol raises can also be applied to monogamous relationships, but this book was written with the polyamorous in mind.

Summary: So much more needed to be said in so many more words.
Comment: The book is a very helpful resource for those interested in nonmanogomy. But it seems to lack some of the convention, get the ball rolling material that Ethical Slut presents. But what makes this book by far better is the the series of pages where it asks you to examine yourself and see if you are prepared to embark on this adventure of growth. It's too bad though, that the way in which those pages are handled. The material is written so ligthly that I would imagine people would simply read through them and assume that they are prepared and can handle such things.
Those pages that ask if you are ready, are the marrow of the book for me. I would have loved chapters devoted to each of those page long statements. But instead, you get the classic chapter on jealousy.
I could tell that the author knows quite a bit about what she is writing about. However it doesn't ccome across in the arrangement of the book or the language that she uses to express the information. The sentences and messages seemed so trivial and didn't carry with it the weight that I feel the book needed.
