A full one-fifth of the United States has engaged in consensual non-monogamy (CNM) at some point in their lives, and 29 percent of adults under thirty today consider open relationships to be morally acceptable—yet there are few resources to turn to when it comes to navigating this more non-traditional and explorative territory.
Picking up where CNM self-help books like Open Up, The Ethical Slut, and More Than Two leave off, Open Deeply tackles the most difficult challenges posed by CNM. Therapist Kate Loree—who has practiced non-monogamy since 2003, and who specializes in treating clients who also practice non-monogamy—pulls no punches as she uses vignettes based on her own life, as well as her clients’ experiences, to illustrate the highs, lows, and in-betweens of life as a consensual non-monogamist. Interwoven with these stories are thorough explanations of how attachment theory impacts non-monogamy, how blending cutting-edge, neurobiology-informed grounding skills with effective communication skills will make even the most challenging conversations regarding non-monogamy manageable, and more. The result is a compassionate, attachment-focused template for non-monogamy that will allow readers to avoid pitfalls and find adventure while concurrently building healthy relationships.
Non-monogamy is a wild and woolly ride—and Open Deeply is here to help make it a great one.
Si bien el ambiente swinger se basaba en la discreción y el anonimato, hay influencers a los que siguen miles de personas y hacen público su estilo de vida y su manera de disfrutar su sexualidad.
La tecnología y las plataformas han modificado la forma en la que se realiza el trabajo sexual. Hay quienes venden una videollamada en la que se van quitando la ropa al compás de una canción.
Pocos trabajos pueden ser tan extraños (para los 'Vainilla') como el de los corneadores. Son tipos a los que los maridos buscan para que se acuesten con sus esposas. Hasta existen reseñas suyas en Internet.
En el ambiente swinger, son comunes los hombres solos o 'singles'. No así las chicas solas que buscan encuentros con parejas establecidas. Tan raras son de avistar que les dicen 'Unicornios'.
Hay quienes prefieren excitarse a través de los oídos que de los genitales, que se masturban con podcasts o libros antes que con una película en Internet. Estas son sus historias.
Ojo, no hablamos de quienes trafican con packs, sino de mujeres que le piden a los hombres que se tomen fotografías de desnudo para coleccionarlas. Todo de común acuerdo y todos felices.
Poco se habla de cómo viven y disfrutan las personas que tienen una discapacidad: ceguera, sordera, parálisis cerebral o autismo no son un impedimento para sentir y generar placer.
‘Through her courageous resistance, she has, for a moment, drawn global attention to the ongoing struggle of Saudi women. The striking image of a young woman, wielding nothing but a cellphone, facing down the force of an oppressive government is an apt metaphor for this fraught moment in Saudi Arabia’s history.’
THE WASHINGTON POST
A gripping true story of bravery and sacrifice by a young woman whose escape from Saudi Arabia captivated the world.
In early 2019, after more than a year of careful planning, Rahaf Mohammed boarded a plane and finally escaped from Saudi Arabia. If caught, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women who had tried to flee her country’s oppressive regime.
But the eighteen-year-old only made it as far as Bangkok before her passport was taken away. It was a trick, and soon she found herself trapped, barricaded in a hotel room. As men pounded on her door, the teenager decided to reach out to the world on Twitter – and the world answered. Her account gained forty-five thousand followers overnight and offered her a vital lifeline. This was Rahaf’s chance at a new life, the one she had dreamed of.
Now Rahaf tells her remarkable story for the first time and reveals the dystopian reality of what life is like for women within Saudi Arabia. From the guardianship system, which places unmarried women under the full control of their male relatives, to the secretive online underground network of Saudi runaways plotting their escape, Rebel is a gripping memoir of resistance and bravery by a woman determined to tell the truth about life in the closed kingdom.

Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1997, è insieme un manuale, un saggio e un'utile 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.
Chi è la 'zoccola etica'? 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. Sulla base della loro vasta esperienza personale e della pratica terapeutica svolta da Dossie in qualità di counselor, le autrici offrono molti consigli pratici riguardo a come affrontare le difficoltà emotive e relazionali più comuni tra coloro che intraprendono un percorso diverso da quelli più ampiamente battuti.
Le riflessioni su amore, sesso, rapporto tra vita emotiva e vita sentimentale, valori e aspettative in gioco nelle relazioni fanno di questo saggio una lettura interessante e illuminante per tutti. Ricordando sempre che amore e sesso sono il fine, non il mezzo. E che a contare non è la meta, ma il viaggio!
