Unethical people should have little interest in the book, as ethical-tension is the book’s essential content, and they can get more direct material online. (I admit my assumption that female readers can also gain these things from a man's story.)Īuthoritarians ask their authorities (clergy, philosophers, etc.) and skip the discovery process I describe. This book may make you question your unconscious assumptions or conscious decisions in this area. However, this presentation is backed up by his experience, and so we trust his authority.Īnd who is "we"?: non-authoritarian, ethical, sexually aware (not necessarily active) human beings who thoughtfully approach the question: What kind of relationship is a good one? Because before we even seek an Other, we must choose: wordless college hook-up, one-night stand, short term "friend", long term friend "to have fun with", companion, life partner, or spouse/best-friend to start a family with (or yet something else).

I want women to read it, and men - especially men - to read it. I want your families, your friends, your coworkers, and your colleagues to read this book.
