Foreword
The morality of modern young people is a subject of constant, depressing debate. Is the so called younger generation any more degenerate than the one before it? Is sexual boldness in the young undermining the very fabric of society? Some declare that it is. Others ask an obvious counter question. What is the difference?
Ben Sommers, a high school teacher, finds himself in daily contact with thousands of teenagers. Among them are young women whom he finds sexually attractive, and many of them are open in their feelings toward him.
Susie Walters is one of these. Attractive, beautifully mature in a sensual way, she literally throws herself at Ben Sommers. He responds willingly, guiltlessly, taking advantage of the situation to the fullest.
Betty Wingate, a young English teacher, has views very different from Ben's. To her, teaching is a responsibility, a trust. She considers it her duty to set an example, to live a life which will be a model to her students. Only when she meets Ben, and the two of them discover that they have more than casual interest in one another, do her opinions begin to change. As her sexuality is awakened, her sensual nature exercised, she begins to admit that she has certain feelings toward males, including some of the young men in her classes.
Dale Paulson, one of Betty's problem students and casual lover of Susie Walters, responds to Betty's new attitudes. What happens between the two of them, and with the members of his outlaw motorcycle gang, forms the gripping climax of this erotic novel of contemporary youth and its confused role in a rapidly changing society.
