Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1997, è insieme un manuale, un saggio e una guida rivolta a coloro che nelle relazioni intendono esplorare le infinite possibilità che amore e sessualità offrono al di là dei modelli tradizionali improntati alla monogamia, nel pieno rispetto di sé e degli altri.

Stando alle parole delle autrici, "una persona di qualsivoglia genere che abbia il coraggio di condurre la propria vita in accordo con la proposizione radicale che il sesso è bello e il piacere fa bene", sempre però in maniera aperta, onesta e sincera. Un testo di riferimento in cui si discutono i fondamenti ideologici del modello monogamico tradizionale, proponendo un nuovo assetto di idee e termini linguistici, allo scopo di aiutare a individuare la dimensione più adeguata al proprio modo di sentire e a tradurla in pratica nella propria esistenza.
