The close of the 20th century has witnessed the minority status of the traditional family in America. On the threshold of a new millennium, now is an opportune and urgent time to give voice to the intimacies of alternative lifestyles, including open marriage. Traditional monogamy is still the prize for countless adults searching for meaning and love in their lives. That search is honored by myriad religious and societal supports. It is to non-traditionalists, to those ready for new life and love affirmations, that this book is offered with joy. The evolution of human consciousness prepares the way for the unfolding of our universal polyamorous potential. Let the pioneers be unafraid to move beyond the ancient limits of relationships to the new intimacy of responsible erotic freedom. May the new millennium be the end of pleasure-phobia.

Open Marriage,
This review is from: The New Intimacy: Open-Ended Marriage and Alternative Lifestyles (Paperback)
At a stage in my life where I thought I was going crazy, this is what I needed. married with children, but not wanting to split my family, I think that open marriage is a great altrnative, and it's great knowing that I'm not alone in this dilema. Only one problem: getting my straying husband to read it!

This review is from: The New Intimacy: Open-Ended Marriage and Alternative Lifestyles (Paperback)
Ronald Mazur
The New Intimacy: Open-Ended Marriage and Alternative Lifestyles (Boston: Beacon Press, 1973) 134 pages A brief but comprehensive book dealing with all dimensions of open relationships: varieties of non-traditional relationships; changing social expectations; relatives, colleagues, & friends; children; sexual and sensual problems; pregnancy and STDs; jealousy and possessiveness; communication and honesty; moral and religious problems; homosexual relationships; ending relationships; divorce and divorce-reform. This is a book of theory rather than practice. The author believed we were about to enter a new age of "open-ended marriage". Even tho no major shifts have occurred, his careful thinking about multiple relationships is still worth reading. Search the Internet for similar books: "Multiple Loving Bibliography". James Leonard Park, author of New Ways of Loving: How Authenticity Transforms Relationships.

Very basic,
This review is from: The New Intimacy: Open-Ended Marriage and Alternative Lifestyles (Paperback)
This is a really basic book. So many better ones around. Not worth reading unless you are very isolated.
