Abstract
This study began one evening in January 1965 when I spoke of my ongoing research on the sexual attitudes and practices of women to the New York Chapter of Mensa. At the conclusion of my talk, an appeal was made to those Mensa women present to take part in a study dealing with their sexual attitudes, desires, and practices. Those who agreed to participate were asked to write their names and addresses on slips of paper so that I could send them a questionnaire and other research material. Less than one hundred women responded to the initial appeal, and others wrote later to express their willingness to be included in the study.
