This book is dedicated with admiration to Herman B Wells,

president of Indiana University when Dr. Alfred Kinsey

conducted and published his research on the sexual

behavior of Americans. Wells was a courageous and

unwavering defender of Kinsey's research, despite pressure

on Wells to end Kinsey's studies. Wells’s support of Kinsey’s

research 60 years ago is considered a landmark and

defi ning victory for academic freedom, which paved the way

for future research on human sexuality at other universities.

—W. L. Y.

To my family—with all my love and gratitude.
