Suzanne Frayser (Hilo, Hawaii), the out-going president of SSSS, was recognized as an Honored Fellow of SSSS at their annual conference in Puerto Rico. Remembering Sol Gordon By Debra Haffner M y colleague and friend Sol Gordon died on December 1. He was in his eighties. To my generation of sex educators, he was an early pioneer and an inspiration. At the top of his career, he was giving hundreds of speeches around the country each year. He was bigger than life when he spoke. He had a big booming voice and he used humor in a way that was theatrical. He originated the phrase “askable parent” and he initiated the work that grew into Family Sexuality Education Week. He had the best one-liners of any one in sex- uality education. I use his quotes regularly. Here’s a sample: “There’s something wrong with a culture that teaches sex is dirty, save it for someone you love.” “How much is too much [about masturbation]? Once is enough if you don’t like it, otherwise there’s no such thing unless it’s interfering with school, work, family dinners, and so on.” “When your spouse says, ‘I have a headache,’ instead of brooding, get him/her an aspirin.” “Mature love is invigorating. Immature love is exhausting.” continued on page 10 January 2009 Vol. 43, No. 1 | www.aasect.org Contemporary Sexuality 9 http://www.aasect.org
