Okay, with the exception of the "considered sex with animals was normal", shouldn't any researcher worth his salt be inquiring about the abnormal sexual activity as well?
Isn't that like saying Charles Manson was only researching murder for his concept album?
Are you for real? Does your definition of legitimate research include hiring people to masturbate infants to orgasm?
Tell my you are joking.
Have you even read one of my comments in its entirety? He PAID A PEDOPHILE TO RAPE CHILDREN AND USED THOSE FINDINGS AS "RESEARCH".
Please stop your apologetics for Kinsey. Research on child sexual abuse means finding the poor children who have already been abused and seeing what happened to their lives.
Kinsey was hiring a pervert criminal to rape and molest children for one purpose - listen carefully - TO JUSTIFY CHILD/ADULT SEX - TO "PROVE" THAT CHILDREN ENJOY SEX WITH ADULTS!
Read what Dr. Reisman has to say. She's done the research.

Sure, he should then report the pedophiles to the local authorities so they can be placed in stocks for the duration of their miserable lives.

Okay, it appears everyone is losing sight of the main point of discussing Mr. Kinsey's background. It's not to determine if he was guilty of any crime, it's to determine the validity (or lack thereof) of his research. But even aside from all that, if it's true he included prison rapes in his 10% figure, that's enough to invalidate his findings for me.
