Alfred Kinsey, (1894-1956) was at first a zoologist with a keen interest in insects, particularly wasps, but at the end of his life he was most notably a very famous "sex expert." It cannot go unoticed that there is much debate as to if he was an expert or a pervert, and to help one look at the debate about this more clearly, here is provided a somewhat short rendering of Kinsey's historic tale.
Alfred Kinsey's name and reputation first got widespread media coverage in 1948, when his book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male was put into print. (It sold more than 200,000 copies the first month after tpublication.) A few years later in 1953, Kinsey published a sequel that was titled, Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. This too became a "National Bestseller," and the name Kinsey was almost a household word. He became world reknown for his research and his published fndings were intended to give the world a whole new perspective on human sexuality.
The Kinsey Report, as his works became called, served to change the way people viewed sex and sexuality, even family life. His scientifically collected data was published in order to shed some light on thing before thought to have been perverse or taboo. Research showed that at least 10% percent of the male population was exclusively homosexual, concluding for Kinsey that such behavor was not at all "abnormal" for men,as society previously thought. Not only that, but Kiinsey's research showed that, 46% of men in his studies responded sexually to both women and men, thus demonstrating that many hedrosexual men, "normall" had "homosexual tendencies."
Regarding marriage and family life, Kinsey stressed in his reports that multiple partners during marriage was normal. Research showed that 50% of men had extramarital affairs, as did 26 % of women. For all his research into the psyche and behavior of human sexuality and the influence it had on American families, Kinsey himself had become known as, "the Father of the sexual revolution."
Kinsey was an atheist who believed the research of Darwin and his theory and therefore took the view that man was simply a higher order animal. Being nothing more than an animal, he believed that human sexuality was really, simply a matter of doing what comes naturally, like it does with the animals. Kinsey believed that there were social taboos on certain sexual activities, not because they were "immoral," or harmful to other human beings, but because people were religiously superstitious. He believed peple were afraid of their own sexuality, and he even used the term, "sexually repressed"… (a Sigmund Freud invented term, ) to describe people who were “not properly in touch” with their sexuality.
So according to Kinsey, Americans were just simply too uptight, so he advocated that people be more open about sex and feel free to engage in all kinds of sexual activity. He even had the support of Mrs. Kinsey, his wife and mother of their four children in this endeavor to free society from the bondage of repression. Mrs. Kinsey appeared in the July 1948 McCalls magazine, a magazine directed at women, but read by men and found in most American homes in that day, telling readers in an interview titled Meet Mrs. Kinsey, that her husband's work represented "a plea for tolerance.”
Yes, "Tolerance," the same word we hear today.According to Kinsey, people should be more tolerant of what previously had been thought of as promiscuity and perversion. Besides advocating homosexuality, Kinsey believed premarital sex was healthyand normal. He believed that waiting until marriage for intercourse was psychologically harmful. The worse offenders, the most intolerant were of course, American Christians.
Christians considered homosexuality, promiscuity, adultery and fornication to be sinful, thus causing repression and psychosis for everyone. Kinsey believed that they and anyone else who would oppose his work were those who stood in the way of science and progress because they believed such practices should be restrained, or worse… that they were somehow shameful, obscene, or harmful to others and that they should be considered illegal, punishable by law. It was time, in Kinsey’s mind for "tolerance" and time to "change" these views. With the Kinsey Reports he, and others who believed in his work felt they had the scientific research hat would set mankind free.
Working to validate his work in the minds of the American people were numerous factors. Besides being on the “best seller” status, popular and respected writers and magazines like Newsweek, McCalls, Life and Look, featured articles about Kinsey and his work. They knew the topic would peak the curiosity of the American public and sell magazines and papers. Some were happy in and of themselves to join the cause of “sexually liberating" the world. Interest in Kinsey's "research" also came from professionals in the medical community, many who were quite impressed that a scientifically minded colleague finally found out for them the very things they always wanted to ask their patients, but were afraid to ask.
In certain circles, Kinsey was respectable, knowledgeable and professional and the public was repeatedly informed that Kinsey’s Report was conducted scientifically and with full regard for the latest refinements in, "public survery methods."They were told to believe it was science, never realizing the real methods and who the subjects were.
I you are convinced it was not science at all, then you may not want to read on. This will only be repetitious for you. If you believe it was scientific think again. "science" was only an excuse for something that should have been considered criminal. Truth is, Kinsey used real, live, (even by today's standards,) "sex offenders." His scientific research was conducted with men both in, and recently released from prison for their crimes, men who were more than happy to perform or instigate sexual encounters with and between children. Kinsey's subjects were, no doubt, those who were biasly interested in the cause of liberated sex, and create less criminal penalties for such crimes.
His subjects were bias, in that they were prostitutes, people who frequented prostitutes, people who wanted affirmation and fulfillment of their otherwise rejected sexual provocations, people happy to find a “professional” who shared their enthusiasm for the topic, who even enjoyed attending the "doctors" s sex lectures. Kinsey was a source of an encouragement to themin their exploits and they to his own.
Kinsey valued the information the people on the fringe of society provided him and most provided information about their own sexuality to Kinsey on a regular basis. They were enthusiastic in participating and Kinsey shared in their enthusiasm. His biographer, James Jones, author of Alfred C. Kinsey: A Public Private Life, explained Kinsey’s pursuit for scientific information better than anyone. He wrote, “In his eagerness to learn everything he could about human sexuality, Kinsey was a vacuum cleaner, and he had absolutely no standards about censorship or passing moral judgment."
Like many of the people Kinsey researched, Kinsey himself had “no standards and no moral judgment.” With no thoughts on the matter, he was nothing but a vacuum who knew no restraint sucking up information no matter where it came from, be it wasps or rats or tiny babies in a crib, to him they were all the same, animals and research subjects. Sex was nothing sacred nor profound in his decrepit mind. To Kinsey and friends, sex of any kind, even sex between men and infants was to be considered perfectly normal. The sad and disturbing thing is that it is from the research of the man named Kinsey, that even today, most of the American public is educated about their own human sexuality, particularly the segment of society that loves to do as they will and even reject "God."
Kinsey thought himself to be a broadminded, progressive man, simply a scientist searching for believed his motives were altruistic. If the man had any question in his mind that he might have been doing something wrong, he regarded his work important enough to believe that the end result somehow that justified his means.As a trained entomologist, might have sincerely believed he was, simply studying a different kind of creature than a wasp when he delved into his study of human beings, he may have even believed that in his study he was working to benefit all of mankind in the future. Whatever it was he obviously rationalized his use of infants and prepubescent adolescents subjects to collect his data, for to Kinsey, pedophilia, (the rape and molesting of even the youngest of children, babies.. infants and toddlers,) was somehow justified. With his consciousness seared, as if with a hot iron, he didn't think such a thing was evil.
It’s a strong word; evil. But evil is exactly what kind of work it was because this man, father and husband should have been the kind of man to protect these children, even very young children, from the hands of ruthless men who used their tiny bodies not only to fulfill their own perverted passions, but for gathering information for Kinsey.
The Kinsey Institute has taken a lot of criticism over the years for these instances of what they still call “perceived child abuse" claims. They maintain to this day that Kinsey himself never personally had sexual interaction with children. They are also emphatic in stating that Kinsey had high moral standards in doing his research, after all, as they claim, “he always interviewed children in the presence of their parents.”
What they fail to acknowledge, if this is the case, is that these "parents" were the perpetrators and either allowed the allowed the abuse, or were the abusers. Inmany instances, who the perpetrator was or who the subject was, could be anybody’s guess; take for example, Mr. X.
Mr. X was a man whom Kinsey regularly obtained research information from and he was a known child molester,presumably an adult. Kinsey considered Mr. X to be a true “pioneer” in sexology because he actually took the time to journalize his exploits with a few hundred subjects.. er eh... victims. Working "scientifically, " and for the benefit of all mankind with Mr. X, did not seem something evil or perverse to Kinsey. And Mr, X’s behavior, was not viewed as detrimental to the children either. No, Kinsey who believed that children were sexual beings, having sexual encounters with Mr. X , did not believe that these encounters would be something harmful to the life and happiness of a child.
The Kinsey Institute even believes hat children today still reap the benefit of his research. In fact, University of Indiana where the Kinsey Research Institute is located and has been established since 1947, has expanded and become the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) a group that works to insure the sexual education of America, a group that is very involved in American public schools. SIECUS sponsors school programs like “Right from the Start” and hosts internet webpages like “familiesaretalking.org.”
SEICUS is not just a secular organization, they also seek to educate religious communities by forming religious groups like the Religious Institute on Sexual Morality, Justice, and Healing. (RISMJH) Publishing pamphlets like The Really Good News: What the Bible Says About Sex, they obviously do not fail to address the sexual issues as they would like to think they relate to the Bible, but they fail to see the problem with the research of their all-time American Hero, Alfred C. Kinsey. And make no mistake, "The Religious Institute's mission is to change the way America understands the relationship of sexuality and religion." SEICUS and the RISMJH are educting America according to Kinsey,
But if you, like all those who uses these products and organizational materials, still doubt there was anything morally "wrong" with Kinsey's research, consider the testimony of Clarence Tripp, photographer and well-known writer on homosexual issues, (now deceased,) who was a friend and supporter of Kinsey when he was alive. In 1990, as a guest on the Phil Donahue Show, he defended Kinsey’s controversial research saying, “(Kinsey) would listen only to pedophiles who were very careful, used stopwatches, knew how to record their thing.”
This was not a revelation. Kinsey’s report testified to the accuracy of TRipps statement. The real revelation here is that people who listened to such testimonies rationalized the behavior of the adults as documented incidences of nepiophilia, rape, abuse, or incest took place while the pediophiles did their "thing." For whatever reason people, like Kinsey somehow believe that the "bad" behavior of the adults was legitimate. Kinsey, after all said he found it, “difficult to understand why a child should be disturbed by sexual contact, observation or molestation.” (Kinsey pg. 121)
SEICUS and RISMJH people simply nod their heads in approval of the studies Kinsey and they think his information is legitimate and accurate. Kinsey is their hero in the so-called, " sexual revolution." As a result of his heroic work into the inner workings of human sexuality, individuals and groups still work politically to gain public acceptance of prostitution as a legitimate form of work, pedophilia and child pornography as a legitimate business, sodomy no longer a crime and homosexual marriage as a legal right. Groups such as SEICUS and RISMJH aren;t the only Kinsey supporters today. The North American Man/Boy Love Association, (NAMBLA) would not be in business if it were not for the work of Alfred Kinsey and friends.
NAMBLA and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU work very hard, hand in hand to change laws, in particular the laws against such things as pedophilia, sodomy and the “age of consent." They believe these laws are unjust and say, these laws do nothing but terrorize those who find simple pleasure in various forms of sex. Like Kinsey before them, they cry that the rest of us should have “tolerance” as they simply fulfill their human desires.
But male sexuality and the hitherto before “secret” sexual life of little children was not all Kinsey would be remembered for. His report on women taught that women enjoy sex as much as men. It taught America that when women said no to sex, they really didn’t mean it. They might have said no, they might have even ought the man off tooth and nail, but Kinsey told America, that such behavior was a game and that the truth was that the women who said "no,"n only did so because of their sexual repression and from that day forward, Kinsey’s “revolutionary” sex theories were used to counter charges of rape in courts of law.
Anyone who was educated and scientific, who revered the work of Kinsey, had read the research on women. They were familiar with the report. It wasn't long before laws requiring severe punishments for offenses of rape, incest, and even sodomy seemed far too inhuman, after all this was sexuality, human sexuality....we were dealing with. Then of course came the heated issue of abortion.
With unrestrained sexuality being the order of the day, there were, needless to say, unwanted pregnancies ....and children, as Kinsey clearly demonstrated in his research were undeserving of human rights and protection under law. Considered fetuses, not babies, unborn children had already been proven by Darwin (and Kinsey) to be animals, merely products of a sex act, much less than human beings. Pregnancy was now a problem, not a blessing; and being pregnant, not to mention raising children was burdensome, repressive, certainly a hardship for individuals who wanted to be free to do whatever they so desired. Pregnancy however was a problem that could be remedied by abortion and better so if abortions would be made legal.
In 2004, Kinsey’s work gained notoriety once more for a whole new generation, and for a whole new generation of voters as the movie titled Kinsey hit the big important screen. The film was to be a portrait of the sex hero of a man, Alfred Kinsey; once more pictured for the public eye as a courageous scientist who discovered the deep truths about human sexuality through his bold and daring research. As this rated “R” film swept across the nation and across the world it served to re-educate a new generation. Moviegoers left the theater thinking that Kinsey was a hero, the ultimate free thinker.
SEICUS, the organization sponsored by the Kinsey Institute boasted that the movie grossed almost 4 million dollars. In addition, they boast that the movie has gained critical acclaim, having been nominated for several Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture Drama and Best Actor Drama.
In response to the movie’s release, outspoken Christian and Dr. Judith Reisman has chosen to speak out for the voices of the children who have been shamelessly silenced by Kinsey’s “research.” She has written, several books on the matter; Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences; (1998) Kinsey, Sex and Fraud, The Indoctrination of a People; (1990) and Kinsey’s Attic: The Shocking Story of How One Mans Sexual Pathology Changed the World. (2006) She documents in her writings the research Kinsey did, the methods he used in doing his research and the financiay support he incurred to make it all happen. Her loud voice in the crowd as earned her a great backlash both from the gay and lesbian community and from the Kinsey Institute as well.
The Institute holds the position that Dr. Kinsey was honorable, meanwhile they paint the picture that Reisman is perpetrating evil by being intolerant and biased due to her religious beliefs. They continue to uphold the position that Mr. Kinsey was a man of impeccable scientific ethics, only motivated by an interest in the welfare of children and that he was and is a hero because he was protecting the children of the world from “negative, inhibitory, guilt-provoking influences.”
They say her concern about Tables 31 through 34 in the Male volume, is “an understandable concern.” Then they negate the concern by giving the official statement is that it would never have occurred to Kinsey that responses of “sobbing or crying or hypersensitivity” of a child having a sexual encounter with other children or an adult would be interpreted as “physical torture.” They then insist that Kinsey, the altruistic man that he was, if he thought that children were being harmed in any way, “would have been opposed to it.”
It’s pretty obvious that Kinsey wasn’t opposed, and since the publication of his Kinsey Report millions of teetering minds wavered in silence, confused, willing to entertain the thoughts the media projection was feeding to them. Amused at the mere notion of discovering more about themselves and satiating their own desires they were willing to entertain such wisdom from a man who didn;t care what was right and what was wrong. Millions still do to this day and it's almost as if America had been seduced into silence, not thinking anyore, simply listening to the wisdom of such self proclaimed, "experts".
Today a whole generation of people were educated and are still being educated in such Kinsian wisdom. They still herald Kinsey as some great liberator, a genius. Few dared to speak out in defense of the weak and helpless because they live in darkness and their personal misery loves the company of anyone who will keep them company. Like a big black hole, such misery, is like a vacuum, self-absorbed taking down into the depths of depravity anything not anchored down.
Into darkness it goes, seeking not God but how self and how self's desire can be fulfilled via sexual freedom. It's a deep dark place that replaces holy and sacred love with ...pornography, prostitution, pedophilia, bestiality, voyeurism, and other "harmless"( ? ) forms of sexual entertainment... and worse.
But we know from the scriptures that the words of wisdom, often guilt producing, will be perceived as either foolish or wise. To the wise they are wise. To the fool, wisdom is foolish.
It's sad to say, but those who reject God and believe man is but a product of evolution, no different than an animal, those who do not value human life and dignity,who seek only their own pleasure no matter who or what gets in their way, God will always be the villian, and men and women, like Mr. Kinsey will be thought of by them as some kind of hero.
Thanks be to God, he is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish. He also loves us, forgives our sins gives us light to walk in instead of darkness, his love is forever an anchor to our soul and he gives us the amazing gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Not only did God created mankind upright, but even today his Holy Spirit is still working to restrain upon this earth, something known to humanity as evil.
