For example, identifying himself as neither straight or gay, a man might be simultaneously in love with a woman and a man. If both of them agree with that, there is nothing wrong about it. On this point author's thesis is that monogamy is a block that hinders people from experiencing real satisfaction and it is no better than any other sexual relationship.Overall, I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in polyamorous relationships and sexualities. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully written and methodologically nuanced *by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2016* Deeply provocative and theoretically groundbreaking, Beyond Monogamy is a must read for anyone interested in gender studies, queer theory, critical race theory, and cultural criticism. With sophisticated and sharp analyses, Schippers draws from cultural sources and her own experiences as a polyqueer subject to explore the queer, feminist, and anti-racist potential of polyqueer relationships and sexualities. I recently taught this book to my graduate seminar in Sociology of Gender & Sexuality and my students were electrified by Schippers' writing. They found the book to be at once theoretically dense and challenging but also profoundly engaging and accessible. I would absolutely use this text again in a graduate course.I want to emphasize that this is NOT a how-to-book for those interested in exploring polyamory, rather, it is a sociological text that asks us to consider how mononormativity and compulsory monogamy produce social and sexual subjectivities; ultimately reinforcing gendered, raced, and classed inequalities. Beautifully written and methodologically nuanced, Schippers provokes readers to consider the queer possibilities of a world beyond monogamy. ### ⭐ Will not help you learn about yourself. *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2017* What wifie said:This is possibly one of the worst books I've ever read....It's fairly dense and academic, which makes it inaccessible to any lay person who might benefit from learning about how they might view their own relationships. However, that's not my biggest problem. I'm familiar with academia, so it wasn't an obstacle. It's the actual content....In addition, she takes the liberty of "explaining" pivotal works of Black and bisexual literature, using page after page to summarize and quote them with only brief notations of her interpretation in between....This book [is] wholly unsuitable for anyone who wants to understand plural love and sex more fully. This book is not a starting point for a person exploring outside monogamy... Give it a pass and find a book with broader scope. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/57962271-beyond-monogamy-polyamory-and-the-future-of-polyqueer-sexualities-intersections](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/57962271-beyond-monogamy-polyamory-and-the-future-of-polyqueer-sexualities-intersections) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
