Talking about sex: Kinsey style.

"An instant Oscar contender" screams the newspaper advertisement for the just-released (19 November in Toronto and Vancouver) controversial film, Kinsey, starring Liam Neeson as bug lecturer turned international sex expert Alfred Kinsey.

The Kinsey bombshells

Back in 1948, when North American families were slowly recovering from the events of World War II, Indiana University zoologist Alfred C. Kinsey released his book, Sexual behavior in the human male, followed in 1953 with Sexual behavior in the human female. The revolutionary Kinsey Reports as they became known, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and based on thousands of interviews, claimed, among other things, that nearly 70 percent of males had sex with prostitutes, 30-45 percent of husbands had extramarital affairs, and shockingly, from 10 to 37 percent of men had engaged in homosexual acts. The oft-repeated claim that 10 percent of the population is homosexual--"a cornerstone of the 'gay' rights movement"--comes directly from Kinsey's published research.

Perhaps most unsettling of all were his claims that children are sexual from birth, and that youngsters as young as a few months of age have the capacity for a pleasurable and healthy sexual life (David Kupelian, Selling, sex in the U.S.A., WorldNetDaily.com).

Kinsey's findings have been credited with the tumultuous sexual revolution of the 60s and its disastrous after-effects--legalized abortion; premarital sex; marriage breakdown and divorce; child illegitimacy and unwed mothers; pornography; pedophilia; homosexuality, STDs, etc. Kinsey set out to change America's sex laws and he succeeded, so much so that those industries and persons who have relied on Kinsey's research results for their own legitimacy are loathe to admit that Kinsey was a fake, a deviant sexual psychopath who should have been incarcerated along with his active collaborators for this shameful, illegal manipulation of children, and for passing fraudulent findings to the influential fields of medicine, education, psychiatry, psychology, and even the criminal justice system.

Dr. Judith Reisman and related research

Dr. Reisman, with a PhD from Case Western Reserve and years of research background in the area of sexology, began to look at the Kinsey published data and was appalled with what she found. In a 1981, report she questioned Kinsey's Table 34 research--a supposed scientific record of "multiple organism in pre-adolescent males." She questioned how Kinsey and his associates could have legally gathered the data, since child sexual abuse is a felony.

According to Reisman, "Kinsey solicited and encouraged pedophiles ... to sexually violate infants and children for his alleged data on normal "child sexuality" (a fact corroborated by other researchers). Many of the crimes against children (oral and anal sodomy, genital intercourse, and manual abuse) committed for Kinsey's research are qualified in his own graphs and charts" (Quoted in Kupelian, p.9).

Dr. Reisman has also revealed that Kinsey's "research" forced subjects to give the desired answers to sex questions, secretly trashed seventy-five percent of their research data, and based their claims about "normal" males on about an 86 percent aberrant male population, including sexual psychopaths, sex offenders, prisoners, male prostitutes, and promiscuous homosexuals. His recruitment techniques rivaled those of the Marine Corps. Reisman also endorses a book called The Pink Swastika which challenges the myth that gays were victimized in Nazi Germany. The Nazi Party and the holocaust itself, she writes, were largely the creation of the German homosexual movement. She believes the American homosexual movement is poised to repeat those crimes as "idealistic 'gay' youth groups are being formed and staffed in classrooms nationwide by recruiters too similar to those who formed the original 'Hitler youth'" (The Culture Wars: Why Know, Daniel Radosh, The New Yorker, Nov. 29, 2004).

Other research has uncovered that Kinsey was a sadistic homosexual who seduced his male students and coerced his wife, staff, and staff's wives to perform for and with him in illegal pornographic films.

Dr. Reisman is president of the Institute for Media Education and has written and spoken extensively on Dr. Alfred Kinsey. Her acclaimed Kinsey, Crimes, and Consequences has gone through three editions (latest 2003) and is available through the Institute, by accessing her website: drjudithreisman.org.

Biographer James Jones

Kinsey's biographer and fan James Jones, in his 1997 book, Alfred C. Kinsey: a public/private life, wrote that Kinsey was a bisexual who preferred homosexual sex ... and developed a taste for masochistic practices of a really cringe-inducing kind. He also had some pronounced voyeuristic and exhibitionistic tendencies" (Kupelian, p. 11). Despite these damning revelations, Jones still thought of Kinsey as a tragic hero who spent his life pleading for sexual tolerance.

NAMBLA 

The North American Man-Boy Love Association, (NAMBLA), the world's largest pedophile group, proclaims in one of its publications: "Gay liberationists in general, and boy-lovers in particular, should know Kinsey's work and hold it dear. Implicit in Kinsey is the struggle we fight today."

The film Kinsey

Research into Kinsey's life and work shows a sexually depraved man who rejoiced at pedophiles' conducting horrifying sexual experiments on hundreds of children. Why then has Hollywood made a feature film with a top star showing Kinsey in a positive light? The movie is directed by Bill Condon whom Dr. Reisman describes as a "really strong activist homosexual with a homosexual, bisexual, transvestite, multi-partner agenda view of life." Condon himself is unfazed by the uproar. "I always know that waiting for us on the other side would be certain activist groups from the right. There are these long, crusading voices; ... they inject themselves into the conversation, but I'm not sure that they represent anybody but themselves" (Nat. Post Nov. 16).

Liam Neeson enthusiastically embraces the man he portrays: "I was very drawn to the man," says Neeson. "I love pioneers, and he was clearly one of the great American pioneers, but not egocentric about it" (ibid).

Critics

At the top of the list of critics are Dr. Reisman who has tirelessly exposed Kinsey and his methods for over 20 years, and Dr. Laura Schlesinger, a radio talk show host and strong supporter of traditional family values. Bill Condon has blamed both women for exposing Kinsey as "a man who produced and directed the rape and torture of hundreds of infants and children."

U.S. organizations like Focus on the Family, Catholic Outreach, and Concerned Women for America (CWA), are also leading a concerted critique of the film; they rightly label Kinsey a "practitioner of junk science" (ibid).

A spokesman for CWA, America's largest public policy women's organization, said: "Alfred Kinsey encouraged pedophiles to molest children, all in the name of science. Instead of being lionized, Kinsey's proper place should be with Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele or your average Hollywood horror flick mad scientist.... He was a sexual revolutionary masquerading as an objective scientist" (Indianapolis Star, Nov. 7).

Kinsey's death

Alfred Kinsey's death was due, at least partly, to his sexual proclivities. Reisman describes it thus: "An early adherent and advocate of masturbation, Kinsey suffered an untimely death due, at least in part, to 'orachitis,' a lethal infection in his testicles that followed years of sadistic, orgiastic 'self-abuse.' Kinsey's obsessive, brutally masochistic masturbation methods appear to have assisted in his early demise" (Kupelian, p. 11).

Kinsey debunked, again

Washington--A subcommittee of the American Legislative Council (ALEC) has released a report on the "junk science" of sexologist Dr. Alfred Kinsey. Released in late April 2004, the report, State Factor, was commissioned "because of widespread use of 'junk' science to misdirect legislatures, courts, and education," as a result of Kinsey's fraudulent research and findings.

Intended as a reference for legislators, the report provided them "with history and current information... for any informed understanding of many public issues crucial to the protection of America's families and young people..." (The Wanderer, June 24, 2004).
