Alfred Kinsey was a real piece of work. A sex pervert, who committed crimes that in his time should have had him sentenced to lengthy prison terms, he is one of the first examples in American history of the impact of junk, and politicized, “science” in shaping public opinion. Of course Kinsey would have been merely a nasty footnote in history if more than a few academics and members of the media hadn’t eagerly seized upon his “finding” in order to justify sexual license. The widespread collapse of sexual morality came after the death of Kinsey in 1956, but he was a pioneer in the effort to pretend that morality plays almost no role in sex, and we see the bitter fruits of this madness all about us in this year of grace.
Kinsey: Fraud-Pervert-Criminal

Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Kinsey had three collaborators. They were approximately 20 years his junior and quite long-lived, one lasting to 2001, one to 2014, and one to 2015. Musn’t forget these grifters.
It was also the primary source for a lot of books like — and I am getting the title from memory– “Everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask.”
It was fine, because it was scientific!
… I can’t watch the video, because kids are up, but yeah, solid science wasn’t involved. Basic bias checking wasn’t involved, what with surveying a population high in forcible rape victims and using that as a measure for normal sexual desire and experience. (jails)
