The Ethical Slut is a contemporary examination of sexuality and relationships in the light of the American culture of the 1990s. It organizes a body of theory and makes some effort at practice. It is written by two women who are both business partners and lovers in an open and committed relationship with one another. They lived in San Fransisco at the time of this book's publication. Intentionally opinionated and complete, this book makes an effort to be a part of the relational cultural form of sexual education for adults. In this regard, it could be used in tandem with Our Whole Lives sexual education curriculum for adults, and in some cases even the teen versions. In many cases, it would supply plenty of fuel for debate and ultimately, possibly some new agreements and some new understandings which retain significant differences. The Ethical Slut does not provide education into the most biological or clinical aspects of lesbian sexuality. However, it is a meaningful introduction to this social element from a more intimate perspective.
