*** Original and Unabridged Content. Made available by GOLDEN CLASSIC PRESS*** Synopsis: There floated the sounds of church-chiming, But no one was nigh, Till there came, as a break in the loneness, Her father, she, I. And we slowly moved on to the wicket, And downlooking stood, Till anon people passed, and amid them We parted for good.

The noise grew. Everywhere you looked Newcastle fans were on their feet, United, at last, in song.

Newcastle – facing Tottenham Hotspur on...

自由性愛的經典之作《道德浪女》新版問世 渣有渣道、婊亦有道，讓我們一同誠實且道德地放浪！ 開放關係就是劈腿偷吃？多重伴侶就是淫亂多P？ 我們是否有可能同時愛上好幾個人，或對伴侶以外的人產生慾望？ 難道只要戀愛了，就會自動喪失對其他人的興趣？ 如果我對別人有感覺，就表示我不是真的愛我的戀人？ 我的情人「出軌」了，表示我們的關係一定出了什麼問題？ 沒有「另一半」，我的人生就不完整，一輩子得不到幸福？ 我們從小被教導，一生一世、一對一的異性戀婚姻，是情感關係的唯一正解。然而，如果這是唯一「正常」與「自然」的關係，為什麼劈腿、無縫接軌、外遇、離婚等現象，從古至今皆層出不窮呢？其實，現在這一套「應該」，跟其他很多套一樣，都是文化製品，而非自然法則。「大家都知道」的迷思未必是對的，只有真正認識所有可能性，你才能做出真正適合自己的選擇。 《道德浪女》為傳統一夫一妻制以外的親密關係經典指南，書中提供了豐富的關係經營與溝通技巧，引導讀者認識自己並強化親密關係，更加全面地理解人類的情感世界。本書將帶領讀者展開一場自由的冒險之旅，教你如何透過坦誠溝通、接納並掌握自身情緒、公平且健康地吵架、建立安全感與支持系統、共同設立界線等方式，嘗試進入開放關係、多重關係，以及任何性與愛的自由關係。本書也為浪女新手提供調情與追求、「說要」與「說不」，以及安全性行為的入門技巧，並教導浪女如何運用法律及各種協議保護自己與伴侶，進而養兒育女。 處於一對一關係中的讀者，亦可由本書習得親密關係的經營之道，以及接納並善待自己的方法。本書提供了嶄新的視角，能幫助你從傳統的束縛中解放出來，不再恐懼關係的失敗，並明白自身已是完整的個體，無須所謂的「另一半」來填補空缺。「愛」與「性」本身就是目的，而非達成「一生一世配對」的手段。快感本身已足夠美好，親密、連結與陪伴亦彌足珍貴，只要你感到愉悅滿足，關係本身即具有無上價值。 《道德浪女》Q&A Q：誰是道德浪女？ **A：**浪女可以是任何性別的人，只要你有勇氣以這種激進立場來歡慶性愛：性愛很好，快感對你有益。浪女可以選擇無性、選擇獨身、選擇一對一、選擇開放關係、選擇多重伴侶關係；浪女可以是異性戀、同性戀、無性戀或雙性戀，可以是激進的社運組織者，也可以是與世無爭的郊區居民。 Q：道德浪女哪裡「道德」？ **A：**歡慶性與愛的「道德浪女」，絕非濫交隨便、不在乎他人感受的自私鬼，真正的「道德浪女」有原則且有道德，她們重視誠實與所有參與者的意願，也會極力避免傷害他人；她們認為感情關係與「所有權」無關，沒有人能夠擁有別人；她們會誠實面對自己的情緒與感受（如嫉妒、恐懼、占有慾、不安、憤怒），當「自己感覺的主人」，找出這些情緒的根源，並尋求伴侶與朋友的支持，但不利用這些情緒去責怪或控制別人；她們也勇於面對衝突、解決衝突，練習公平且健康地吵架。道德浪女的關係沒有約定俗成的規矩，她們藉由討論來訂立協議，協商出某些條件、環境與行為來滿足自己的需求，同時也尊重每個人的界線。 Q：新版的《道德浪女》和舊版有何不同？ **A：**2017年，在初版《道德浪女》上市二十週年之際，兩位作者推出了更新加長第三版，游擊文化所出版的《道德浪女》，便是依據2017年的最新版本進行翻譯。新版的《道德浪女》將不同種族、無性戀、無愛戀、不屬於二分性別者、身心障礙者，以及其他容易被忽略的族群納入討論，並補上幾個重要主題，如性愛中的「意願」、性創傷與性虐待、性工作者、各地浪女先驅的小故事等等，同時也提供了數十則「練習」，讓讀者能夠實際演練書中教導的各式技巧。 浪女推薦 「朵思與珍妮的『浪女倫理』，核心價值就是愛與善意。主流想像中的多重關係是玩弄別人感情，或者性慾胃口奇大以致吞噬掉其他的一切；在《道德浪女》裡，完全不是。朵思與珍妮畢生的浪女實戰經驗，與美國六〇年代的反戰、反叛文化、性解放、公社等社會實踐密切交纏，性愛對她們來說，是社會連結的一種，是表達愛與善意的諸多方法之一。」——張娟芬 「曾經有個時代——或許現在還是——事物總是被兩極劃分。若非貞潔，即是浪蕩。若非『正常』，即是『非常』。然而正常豈有長久不變的道理？男女同性戀曾也一度受困於哥弟麻煩、踢婆情結，而今不分才是王道，浪也可以道德。《道德浪女》的金玉良言是非典型關係畢竟才是常態——活著就是探索自我的邊界，跨越定義，浪過高潮。我浪，我驕傲。」——羅毓嘉（詩人） 「《道德浪女》從性與親密關係的無限可能談起，但說更多的其實是自我、界線、尊重與人生的無限可能。本書所呈現的是，我們的社會反覆告訴我們不可能，但卻真真實實存在的所有渴望與生命風貌，為所有『非典型』的人指引明燈。」——西索（同志諮詢熱線「非典型親密關係工作團隊」成員） 「無論要不要進入這類非典關係，我們可能都早已在感情裡百轉千折而遍體鱗傷，過去情傷總隱隱作痛，好像再也無法安心談一場戀愛……那些嫉妒、不安、比較、占有慾不斷作祟，讓我們成為感情裡的crazy...
