The odd reader (here in England "odd" means occasional) may be
interested in how a book comes about. Members of the SIECUS Board
of Directors were planning a Festschrift and dinner for Mary
Calderone on the occasion of her 75th birthday. One planning idea
was to have a booklet, filled with brief essays from prominent sex
educators, distributed between the roast beef and the ice cream. My
reaction was that such "souvenirs" find their burial place in the
same dusty drawer as the program from the high school prom and
ticket stubs from South Pacific. I suggested a more lasting,
noticeable "monument," a "proper" (as the English say) book which
would draw contributions from both SIECUS and non-SIECUS scholars.
1 was too clever to be trapped as editor (in a 1974 preface, I had
written "I swore 1 wouldn't edit another book"). And so I seduced
Lorna Brown (into being editor). I contacted a few potential con
tributors, suggested a few others, convinced Leonard Pace at Plenum
Press that this was a worthwhile venture, and left the country. To
my amaze ment, six months after settling in Cambridge, England, the
rough draft of the book arrived along with areminder from Lorna
that during the se duction I had promised to write an
Introduction."
