Alfred Kinsey

Alfred C. Kinsey by Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy Alfred Kinsey was this century`s first acientifically reputable and most influential researcher into sex. His SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR IN THE HUMANE MALE (The Kinsey Report), published in 1948, was an explosive bestseller, followed in 1953 by his even more radical statistics on female sexuality - both based on over 18, 000 case histories. But Kinsey`s exploration went much further than that. Bisexual, he experimented with many of the behaviours he was hearing about; and his wife and close colleagues experimented too. He pioneered observation and filming sexual activity, the findings anticipating, and being confirmed by, Masters and Johnson thirty years later. The revolutionary nature of his views on female sexuality could not become current until the feminism of the 1970s and 80s.

Alfred Kinsey isn't the only homosexual researcher who used biased research and falsified data to promote a personal agenda. Although Alfred Kinsey was extremely successful in pulling the wool over the eyes of many in the scientific community and although as a result his creative "findings" came to taint the views of many and to a large extent brought about the sexual revolution, his findings have now been thoroughly debunked. There has probably been no other effort by any other researcher in history that has had such far-reaching consequences. However, not all homosexual "scientists" are as successful as Alfred Kinsey in duping the scientific community, whether they attempted to do so intentionally as Kinsey did or not. Some get caught in the act before much real harm is done to society.

Alfred Kinsey picture In love relationships, Alfred Kinsey is steadfast and loyal, especially if he has a warm, demonstrative partner. He is very sensual in nature and craves plenty of touching and physical affection. Alfred enjoys being pampered with a good meal, a loving massage or other sensual delights. He is a wonderful lover who is very attentive to the comfort and enjoyment of his loved one. Alfred Kinsey responds intensely to beauty and physical appearance, and the physical attractiveness of his partner is very important to him.
Kinsey cover art Most people will find it difficult to imagine the level of sexual ignorance prevalent in 1948 when Alfred Kinsey published his ground-breaking book Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male. Without him, presumptions about sex that the Victorians would have been comfortable with might still persist. Director Bill Condon's excellent biopic charts the life of the academic (Liam Neeson) from his repressive religious childhood, when he is bullied by his moralistic father (John Lithgow), through his unsatisfactory first attempt at lovemaking with his wife (Laura Linney), which provokes his desire to research - and educate others about - human sexuality. Neeson has never been better, playing Kinsey as a scientist whose revolutionary research may be motivated as much by a need to justify his own desires as by a determination to pursue the truth. There's ... a fantastic performance from Peter Sarsgaard as a researcher and sexual adventurist who represents the moral uneasiness some had, and some perhaps still have, about this new freedom.

Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, Alfred Kinsey earned his Biology PhD. from Harvard University in 1920. He taught zoology at Indiana University and conducted extensive research on the gall wasp. Given the opportunity to be the coordinator of a marriage course taught there, Kinsey became quite interested in the field of human sexuality. He discovered that written resources on this subject were difficult to find in a public or university library, so he became a "compulsive data gatherer" (Davidson and Moore, 2001). He became the founder-director of Indiana University's Institute for Sex Research in 1942.

Alfred Kinsey was born on June 23, 1894, in Hoboken, New Jersey, to Alfred Seguine Kinsey and Sarah Ann Charles. Kinsey was the eldest of three children. His mother had received little formal education; his father was a professor at Stevens Institute of Technology. His parents were rather poor for most of Kinsey's childhood. Consequently, the family often could not afford proper medical care, which may have led to young Kinsey's receiving inadequate treatment for a variety of diseases including rickets, rheumatic fever, and typhoid fever. This health record indicates that Kinsey received suboptimal exposure to sunlight (the cause of rickets in those days before milk and other foods were fortified with vitamin D) and lived in unsanitary conditions for at least part of his childhood.
