Relationship Anarchy: Occupy Intimacy!

It took me a while to read the book so I feel like I already forgot some things that were covered in the beginning. My overall impression was that it was exactly the type of exploration of relationship anarchy that I was looking for when I originally first heard the term. “The private is political” but many explanations of relationship anarchy in comparison to polyamory or other forms of ethical non-monogamy that I had come across seemed rather individualistic and not very revolutionary to me.
This book provided exactly the kind of questions and thoughts that I had hoped for with a concept for relating to other people that tries to break out of the confines of what society defines as friendship vs a romantic and/or sexual (monogamous) relationship. As someone on the asexual spectrum who never really understood the societal hard lines between these categories (friend, partner, lover etc) I was very positively surprised to see asexual and aromantic experiences and concepts like amatonormativity covered in this book alongside allosexual/alloromantic experiences. While the book talks about relationship anarchism in an academic way it never got boring (I'm just a slow reader, that's why it took me so long) and the author's personal experiences (rather than only an analytical outside perspective) added a lot to the book as well.
Overall definitely a recommendation for anyone who wants a deeper look into the concept than reading a few blog posts can provide.
