With nearly 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce, a growing percentage of women over 40 choosing not to have children, and more than 3 percent of the population identifying as LGBT, modern life is clearly in need of some modern relationship advice. Sex from Scratch analyzes the facets of contemporary relationships through the struggles, opinions, and experiences of a diverse group of people living in non-traditional relationships. Rather than telling readers how to snare a partner and find true love, it gathers real knowledge from people of all genders and sexes, including individuals trying to make open relationships work to those who have chosen not to have children, and shares their hard-earned wisdom. Contributions from Andi Zeisler, Stu Rasmussen, Betty Dodson, and others make this love and dating guide an essential, fun, and insightful resource for anyone in any type of relationship.
