Way back in the 20th century, when being called a “slut” was almost always a slur, the authors of a (then) brand new book that reclaimed this scornful insult as “a term of approval, even endearment,” came on my show. We had a blast chatting about the nature of sex and the future of love, then played in the after-party. The book was called The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities (1997), and it became the sex-positive, poly-friendly manifesto of consensual erotic adventure for a new generation of sexual pleasure seekers with a spiritual conscience—a desire to do good as well as feel good, sometimes even at the same time! Now on this live broadcast, one of the co-authors, Janet W. Hardy, is back on DrSuzy.Tv, talking about the new and improved edition of this polyamory Bible, which includes exercises, updates and a new subtitle: The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures (2009). Janet—who had gone by her pseudonym Catherine A. Liszt on the first edition of The Ethical Slut, written with Dossie Easton—is coming to UCLA this Saturday for Sex-Positive World’s special event, “Sexual Health Series Kick Off: Redefining Sexuality for the 21st Century.”
