Publisher's Summary:
The truth is that online dating has grown immensely popular over the past decade, due, in part, to continuing advances of the Internet and the proliferation of dating sites. Yet for many people, online dating carries the same stigma that used to be associated with printed personal ads in newspapers: That you must be some kind of desperate loser to have to resort to placing a classified ad in order to get a date.
But despite their shortcomings and somewhat risky nature, personal ads actually worked. It wasn't long before these classified ads migrated online, and soon gave rise to more structured "socially acceptable" commercial dating sites.
Many of these have become profitable by charging fees for identifying candidates who match personal profiles and preferences.
But shouldn't love be free? A lot of people seem to think so. Many continue to shun the paid sites and opt instead for the "Wild West" approach to online dating - free personals.
Free Love: True Stories of Love and Lust on the Internet documents this increasingly popular trend.
These stories take you into the mental and actual bedrooms of a diverse range of people, with a variety of backgrounds, personal needs, wants and desires, sexual orientations, preferences, and lifestyle choices.
If you've ever considered placing or responding to a personal ad, or just starting out, this is the place to start. Experience is the best teacher, and thanks to the candid revelations of the people in this audiobook, you can learn a great deal from their experiences without having to incur a single indignity of your own.
Free Love: True Stories of Love and Lust on the Internet is a must-listen for anyone who is currently, or seriously considering, using free online personal ads to find the like-minded man, woman, couple, or DOM of their dreams.

Great Gift for Single Friends
As a long-married, suddenly-singled guy and clueless about what to do next, I was naturally curious about the online dating scene but dismissed it as a last resort. "Free Love" was a great way to look behind the curtain without stepping into the room. It quickly became a guilty pleasure that confirmed some assumptions and shattered others. The wildly varied cast of characters alternately stirred my empathy and my cringe reflex, but never failed to satisfy my inner voyeur in their pursuit of longings that range from someone-to-cuddle-with to you've-got-to-be-kidding. Kelleher did a masterful job of getting these folks to open their hearts and their closets, and even the kinkiest among them earned my respect and my thanks for sharing. If I worked in the theater, I'd adapt "Free Love" for the stage just so I could be in on the casting calls.
GREAT BOOK! buy one for yourself and one as a gift!
This is a GREAT book. It was a perfect read while I was waiting in line at the grocery store or the bank. You can read a couple of pages and entertain yourself with all different kinds of stories. It also has some great graphics that accompany the ad postings - rather voyeuristic. This is a great book to keep on your coffee table or in the bathroom. In this case, a "bathroom book" is a compliment. You can open it to any page and read about some people looking for love in sweet, funny, crazy, twisted or simply odd ways. It is sure to get a conversation started.
