The story

Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy's groundbreaking book made the case, long before it was fashionable, that love and sex need not be confined to monogamy — and that open relationships, practiced with honesty and care, can be ethical and fulfilling. Part philosophy, part practical handbook, it tackles jealousy, communication, and boundaries with candor and warmth. It has become the foundational text of modern non-monogamy. Best for anyone curious about polyamory or open relationships who wants the book that started the conversation, and a values-driven framework rather than a set of rigid rules.

Questions before you buy?

Will this arrive in discreet packaging?
Yes — all orders ship in plain, unmarked boxes with no product names and no brand logos on the outside. We ship discreetly on every order, automatically.
What's your return policy?
Sex toys can't be returned once opened — that's an industry-standard hygiene rule, not specific to us. For defective or damaged items: we'll replace or refund. Email us and we'll handle it.
Can I order anonymously?
Yes — guest checkout is available, no account required. We ship in plain packages with no external branding. The charge on your card statement appears as "Alexander Institute" — the parent company that owns Loving Sex, nothing that identifies the product type.
