The Lifestyle : A Look at the
Erotic Rites of Swingers
by Terry Gould
"The Lifestyle is a delight to read - a groundbreaking
and honest work of journalism that thoroughly explains why millions
of people are part of this little-known subculture called 'swinging.'
Indeed, Mr. Gould has accomplished something rare: his extensive research
into the anthropology and sociobiology of spouse exchange has allowed
him to broaden his descriptions of swing parties to include deeply
significant explanations for what takes place at them.
Recreational Sex : An Insider's Guide to the
Swinging Lifestyle
by Patti Thomas
Reader comment: Fantastic job & a vital addition to lifestyle
information!
We just finished Patti's book and think it should be required reading
for anyone interested in the swinging lifestyle! Her style is warm
& honest; her advice is down to earth & appropriate. We enjoyed
it immensely, & would recommend it to anyone who is curious about
the swinging lifestyle. The eight pages of color photos were an added
bonus we really liked!

Polyamory : The New Love Without Limits : Secrets
of Sustainable Intimate Relationships

This is a definitive book on non-monogamous relationships, it is
specifically written for people considering swinging, although we
recommend it for those already involved also. Topics covered include
Jealousy, managing the transition to swinging, and managing relationships.
The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Possibilities
by Dossie Easton, Catherine A. Liszt
The basic message of the book is that love and sexual
pleasure are Good Things, and that it is possible to ethically, sanely,
increase the amount of love and pleasure in your life. To that end,
the focus of the book is on polyamory/multiple consensual relationships/open
marriage/swinging.
Threesome: How To Fulfill Your
Favorite Fantasy
by Lori Gammon, Bill Strong
With five years of research and her own intimate adventures
as a guide, Lori explains bisexual women and what they want. Then
she lays out a carefully-crafted plan that allows men and women, married
or single, to explore sensual pleasures most cannot imagine. She teaches
women how to arrange and enjoy any combination of attractive men and
willing women. Girlfriends discover how to seduce each other without
fear of embarrassment or rejection. Men are taught to delicately and
sensitively fan their lover's secret passions and lead their wives
onto new frontiers.
Three in Love : Menages a Trois from Ancient
to Modern Times
If longevity is the proof and ménages à trois is the
pudding, then Three in Love is an appropriate recipe for this classically
suspect concoction. Claiming that their own 16-year relationship is
as valid an arrangement as marriage, the authors offer their defense
with a mild dose of psychology amidst examples of famous threesomes--the
more familiar (Lord Nelson and the Hamiltons, June & Henry Miller
and Anaïs Nin) as well as some surprises.
Real Live Nude Girl : Chronicles of Sex-Positive
Culture
With this book, sex worker, educator, and activist Carol Queen becomes
heiress apparent to the mantle currently worn by the indispensable
Susie Bright: all-American, bisexual pleasure polemicist, and erotic
essayist. Which isn't too bad a thing to be in a culture in which,
as Queen notes, "dialogue about sex is still expected to be hushed,
prurient, clinical or ... relegated to 'alternative' venues."
Queen covers hooking, Madonna's Sex, a San Francisco rondele of "Jack
and Jill Off" parties, and oh, so much more. And it's fun to
read, which is the best tip on sex writing you'll get anywhere.
