Not the one by Heinlein, nor the ones by Robert Stallman.
I am going nuts trying to recall the names/ author of a couple of books I read - in the late sixties I think - that involved a form of alien that had to mate with humans before the aliens could attain maturity.
The aliens could take the form of humans on Earth and interacted with them in a variety of ways. The were not invaders and usually helped the humans they were with - for example, a female of the species cured a man of cancer and lived as his wife for a time.
I have had no luck at all searching the internet so far - perhaps some here can recall such a book(s)?
