On February 17th, 1965, Abraham Maslow and Harry Rand gave a joint lecture in Schwartz Hall entitled “Consequences of Premarital Sex Behavior.” The lecture focused on the behavioral dimensions of premarital sexual relations from a social scientific perspective. It was the second in a series of three lectures and discussions on sex education offered that month in the effort to provide Brandeis students with a deeper understanding of intimate sexual relationships. This segment is one of thirteen from this lecture. The lecture underscored similarities and differences in the two men’s professional training and reflected contemporary notions of gender dynamics and sexual identity. The renowned psychologist, Abraham Maslow, was a member of the Brandeis faculty from 1951-1969. The series was planned and sponsored by members of the Brandeis student government and a representative from the Office of the Dean of Students. Each lecture was followed by oral and written questions from the audience.
