EDITORIAL
One doesn't axe a long-running, candid and well loved regular like Sex and the
Single Me unless one is totally convinced the replacement will express the views
of womanhood even more effectively. The decision was taken after a mad journalist
friend hit on the idea of a 'door to door' confessional, interviewing suburban
housewives regarding their sex lives. At first I really couldn't see him pulling
off such an ambitious venture, fraught with such obvious danger . . . but he did
and the first of his series of reports appears in this issue, authentic in every
detail and fascinating reading.
Yet another monthly report commences in this issue, tracing the lengthy and murky
history of the famed Bordello 'Madame Etienne's' and enabling one to evaluate
the changing roles of whores in French society. Lovers of the occult will be much
taken by our interview with Queen of the Witches, Maxine Sanders. Her views on
Black Magic and her notorious husband Alex are absorbing to say the least. Our
roving reporter, Jonathan Green, provides an in depth look at New York's sprawling
porn parade, 42nd Street, and brings you up to date on the hot spot's legal situation.
For drinkers, Tom Targett's appraisal of the liquid life is of value to us all
and our sympathy goes out to Tom himself who has long been an executive director
of Alcoholics Anonymous, bless his breath. Enjoy your reading and feel free to
communicate experiences and opinions through our Correspondence pages.
