What a pleasure it was to read these moving and sometimes funny essays. I am hard pressed to pick a favorite since there are essays from people who’ve been in the field for decades (their insights were moving) and the freshness of those who are “new” to the field. This is a great place to start a number of conversations such as “should I get into the field?” and “can I really make a difference?” I think anyone who reads this book will be able to answer both with a resounding yes. Again, congratulations!

One of my favorite conversations with anyone who is even closely related to the field of sexuality education is to hear their story on how they actually got into ‘sex ed’. We each have our own story and there are very few repetitions because it is such a personal journey. This tome is that personal voyage reminding the reader of the passions, joys and challenges of why we are in the exciting field of sex ed.

Sexuality educators are highly devoted to their profession and they have individual paths to their career. How I Got Into Sex…Ed is an excellent and fascinating book that includes an impressive collection of stories how a large number of sexuality educators initially got their inspiration to their favorite mission. This path has been full of surprises, fortunate coincidences, and excellent colleagues who inspired them to select a career that they have not regretted. They all seem to be grateful for this turning point in their lives and they enjoy and love what they have been able to do since then. I persuade you to become acquainted with these stimulating stories.
