In the Russian language, as, indeed, in many others, the most capacious and accurate definition of a person (especially a woman!), on whose banners it is written “sex is wonderful, and pleasure is useful,” is usually obscene. The purpose of this book is not so much to soften the negative connotation of the word “fucking”, but to discuss in detail all the nuances of the lifestyle of those who dream of embracing the immensity - all the sex, love and friendship that can be contained within one human life. **stva" is a comprehensive guide to successful - and ethical! – the practice of polygamy: from keeping a dating diary and managing jealousy to an accurate and conscious search for partners and wise conflict resolution, from raising children to caring for the health of yourself and your many loved ones. If you envision a life outside of traditional lifelong monogamy, this book is written and published for you. Catherine A. List is a writer and sexuality educator and director of Greenery Press. Author and co-author of more than a dozen books. Dossie Easton is a family therapist and co-author of four books written with Katherine List.
