Kinsey's Secret: The Phony Science of the Sexual Revolution

Kinsey's pseudoscience arguably did the most damage through our court systems. That's where attorneys used the researcher's "facts" to repeal or weaken laws against abortion, pornography, obscenity, divorce, adultery, and sodomy.

Go to many of the (local state federal) government affiliated healthcare sites (including hospitals) and you will find tax payer funded promotion of the sex positive agenda.

Encouragement of teen sexual experimentation.

Links to “go ask alice”’s anything goes approach. Go Ask Alice, Planned Parenthood, SEICUS.

They cite how “abstinence doesn’t prevent pregnancy”. It does every time it’s applied.

Abortion may cure pregnancy but it won’t cure STDs (which are rising again...)

I saw the movie. It was disturbing, to say the least.

Implicit in Kinsey's report was the notion that these behaviors were biologically "normal" and hurt no one. Therefore, people should act on their impulses with no inhibition or guilt.

The stated goal of the sex positive agenda is to end all moral judgements over all sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).

If they tell you "it's no biggie, everyone does it", it may not make it "right" but it makes it easier to transgress.

Kinsey was a DIRTY OLD man pure and simple!

From what I understand he wasn't just a dirty old man.
It's my understanding that he was a perverted sex addict that used some of his subjects for his "needs".

“It’s in the name of science!”

Same excuse used by Josef Mengele.

Much of the reason Freudian theory went out of vogue after Kinsey was that freud taught humans were governed by primitive drives, but civilization depended on the supression of those drives. Kinsey’s ideals went from disrepute to gining acceptance in higher education and so Freudian views were just seen as “Victorian”.

Much of today’s sexual experimentation is explained in the sense that Freud said that society has a lot to do with determining how far we will push the limits of the libido. When there are no liits humans will go through life without any real roadmap and will wind up unhappy. In fact, if we truly do see our coupling as a way to regain the love of our opposite sex parent for life then every time we enter into a significant relationship and then break up our only defense mechanism is to build a sheild around our feelings. By the time we MAY find that special someone it takes years to lower the wall subconsciously and trust that person.

Ah, but he used the Reverse Scientific Method of the liberals so skillfully:

1. Decide the conclusion you wish to reach.
   
2. Find or manufacture evidence to support it.
   
3. Discard or bury any which does not.

I hope he enjoys his long stay in hades and, as a Zoologist, gets a gorilla for a bunk mate.

From wikipedia:

Sex life

Kinsey had been rumored to participate in sexual practices outside of those widely sanctioned by mainstream society at the time. James H. Jones’s biography, Alfred C. Kinsey: A Public/Private Life, describes Kinsey as bisexual, and experimenting in masochism. He encouraged group sex involving his graduate students, wife and staff. Kinsey filmed sexual acts in the attic of his home as part of his research.[14] Biographer Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy explained that using Kinsey’s home for the filming of sexual acts was done to ensure the films’ secrecy, which would certainly have caused a scandal had the public become aware of them.

Kinsey may have poured a lot of gasoline around, but there had to have been fires burning already in order for the forest fire to have taken off.

We are constantly being bombarded by advertisers and promoters to start doing X or Y. Sometimes we all start doing X, and sometimes we don't. Sometimes we do X for a while and then get bored of it. Tennis was more popular once, and now it is less popular.

There is a reason why Kinsey was so successful in spreading his message: it was a message that people wanted to hear.

There were already lots of movies in the 40's and 50's that hinted at an underground of people straining against the mores of the day. Kinsey just gave people the permission to go ahead and do what their fantasies were telling them to do.

Why so many people continue to engage in such behavior after all of the negative evidence that has come up since: disease, broken marriages, infertility, emotional desctruction, etc. is beyond my comprehension.

I imagine it is similar to what goes on in the head of an alcoholic or someone with a gambling problem: they know that in the long run they're going to regret it, but just then they need that one little drink or that one little bet or that one little sexual transgression to keep them going.

Yes, I have read similar things about Kinsey, but no one truly comments on why his views were such a success. If everyone was really such a prude then his ideas would have never gained credence. He would have been thought of at best a kook.

[brytlea]

In fact, many of the men Kinsey surveyed were actually prison inmates. Wardell B. Pomeroy, Kinsey co-author and an eyewitness to the research, wrote that by 1946 the team had taken sexual histories from about 1,400 imprisoned sex offenders. Kinsey never revealed how many of these criminals were included in his total sample of "about 5,300" white males. But he did admit including "several hundred" male prostitutes. Additionally, at least 317 of Kinsey's male subjects were not even adults, but sexually abused children.

This is hardly surprising, when you look around at the culture the sexual revolution gave us. We have patterned it on a sampling of deviates.
