Long before the sexual revolution, Albert Ellis and Ira L. Reiss had been writing about sexuality in America. In the 1950s, the two social scientists began to exchange letters on their views of sexuality and other related values such as religion and ethics. Their letters reveal the insight of two leading sexual scientists at the very time that the sexual revolution was dawning in America. They provide a fascinating chronicle of the controversial sexual and other issues of the 1950s and 1960s. At the same time they enrich this early correspondence by revealing in depth just how and why their current views of sexuality in America have changed. Visit Ira L. Reiss's web page
