Mark A. Michaels and Patricia Johnson, multi-award winning authors of Partners in Passion and Great Sex Made Simple suggest that contemporary relationships are in a state of rapid evolution. These changes can and should empower people, providing the opportunity to develop partnerships based on their own circumstances, sexualities, understandings, and agreements. In Designer Relationships, Michaels and Johnson offer offer a new paradigm that emphasizes mutuality, a collaborative mindset, empathy, and transparency. They invite us to think outside the open-closed, monogamous-nonmongaoums box. Designer Relationships is also replete with how-to suggestions and exercises. According to Patricia and Mark, designer relationships can encompass: people who bond emotionally but not sexually; people who agree to be non-exclusive; happily single people who have occasional lovers or friends with benefits; multiple partner configurations where long-term bonds exist among all or some; partnerships in which people are kinky and that make room to explore kink, among many others. Designer Relationships provides you with the tools to recognize and then craft a way of loving that works for you.
