Re-writing the rules: an anti self-help guide to love, sex and relationships (Second edition.)

We live in a time of uncertainty about relationships.

We search for The One but find ourselves staying single because nobody measures up.

We long for a happily-ever-after but break-up after break-up leave us bruised and confused.

This is a friendly guide through the complicated - and often contradictory - advice that's given about sex and gender, monogamy and conflict, break-up and commitment.

This new edition considers how the rules are being 'rewritten' in various ways - for example in monogamish and polyamorous relationships, different ways of understanding sex and gender, and new ideas for managing commitment and break-up where economics, communities, or child-care make complete separation impossible.
