way. The dictionary gives three senses for seemly: Attractive or agreeably fashioned; Decorous or conventionally proper; and Appropriate or suited to its purpose.
With respect to appropriateness, Seemly Sex Stories range from the humorous to the inspirational, but all concern human sexuality. So they are clearly appropriate.
They are also seemly in the decorous and conventionally proper sense. For, while they treat sex candidly, they do not do so explicitly. There is nothing pornographic or erotic in any Seemly Sex Story. Of course, different persons’ opinions of conventional propriety differ. A few consider frank pornography decorous. At the opposite extreme was the abbot of the monastery where the great biologist Gregor Mendel did his epochal research. This monk thought Mendel’s studies were decidedly indecorous because they concerned the sex of plants. The stories in this collection aspire to be in the middle of this range.
Finally, there is the principal sense of seemly, attractive and agreeably fashioned. Like every author I exert my every effort and ability trying to make these stories seemly in this regard. But like every author, I must await your determination of the degree of my success. Since both of us will be pleased if you find them attractively seemly, I very much hope you will.
