5. Issues no. 7 and 8 contain a lengthy interview with the Sexual Freedom League's co-founder, Leo Koch, who three years earlier had been fired from his position as professor of biology at the University of Illinois for writing a letter, published in the student newspaper, defending premarital sex. Following a move to San Francisco, he worked as a teacher at a private school (Presidio Hills). In the interview, Koch discusses academic freedom, "wife-swapping," masturbation, and civil disobedience, and he updates his view of having condoned premarital sex to advocating it.
