Lob der offenen Beziehung

In today's society, monogamy enjoys an unchallenged monopoly as a relationship model. However, the romantic ideal of eternal love has long proven to be unrealistic and has given way to a rather sobering practice of serial monogamy. Without the illusion that there can only be one true love, the meaning of fidelity becomes questionable. Why must an old love end when a new one begins?

This book rethinks the approach to love and sexuality. The author demonstrates that feelings and reason, commitment and freedom do not have to be in opposition. The monogamous love model is based on prejudices and includes demands that are questionable not only for hedonistic reasons but also for ethical ones. Alternatives such as "Don't ask, don't tell" agreements, swinger relationships, and polyamory are also subjected to critical discussion.
