Relationship anarchy is a new term for a very old practice: prioritizing relationships of all kinds, not just romantic connections. But how does one build an ethical community of friends, lovers and more?
This book will explore how to build and sustain fulfilling relationships within the relationship anarchy framework. We'll discuss the history of relationship anarchy, give you guidance on building intimate relationships with all kinds of people in your life, and look at the ways that relationship anarchy can support a fulfilled and joyous community. This book will offer philosophical, historical, sexological, and anthropological context as well as practical tools for building nuanced, complex, and expansive relationships that traverse and defy social norms.
