And yet, an increasing number of married and unmarried couples are doing just this, and their relationships are flourishing as a result. \u003ci\u003eRelax, It's Just Sex: Understanding Non-Possessive Intimate Relationships\u003c\/i\u003e examines a relatively new form of intimate relationship that is increasingly popular among contemporary couples and singles. The book introduces the term \"non-possessive intimate relationships\" and shows from a psychological perspective how these arrangements work, emotionally and cognitively, for the individuals involved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLicensed clinical psychologist and relationship therapist Leslie Spurr, PhD, explores the psychologically issues involved and then takes a close look at various examples of the non-possessive intimate relationship style within several, mostly covert, contexts, in which relationship partners agree to provide each other with the freedom to engage intimately with outsiders. Written in a nontechnical, accessible style, \u003ci\u003eRelax, It's Just Sex\u003c\/i\u003e uses humor and references to popular culture, including films, novels, and songs, to engage the reader in content that is primarily informative but also entertaining. This important and eye-opening book makes clear the significance and reasons for the growing popularity of the non-possessive intimate relationship phenomenon and explains why and how this \"lovestyle\" may constitute a sexual revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leslie Spurr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440854734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440854736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Leslie Spurr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113554292991,"sku":"9781440854736","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aaffb768-c949-42b7-a52b-a444fbd955fd.jpg?v=1769615784","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/relax-its-just-sex-leslie-spurr-9781440854736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
