Love Does No Harm: Sexual Ethics for the Rest of Us

by Marie M. Fortune

This work is aimed at those caught somewhere in the middle between those for whom only heterosexual and monogamous marriage, or "anything goes," are paradigms of suitable behaviour and intimate relationships. Ethicist and Christian Marie Fortune explores what it means to be in an intimate relationship today, surrounded as we are by domestic violence and continued silencing of women's voices.

[Emma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Important work, practical, beautiful, sets forth a path for eroticizing relationships of equity.

[Christina · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars! A bit dated at this point, but a short, accessible, practical guide.

I wish the entire would could read this book and learn a thing or two about how to love another human properly.

[J. Robin Whitley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book gives guidelines that are easy to remember and consider about proper boundaries for loving relationships. In it she addresses why violence is not love but also gives examples of why relationships with bosses or others in power prove to be unhealthy.
