Kinsey - Trailer (2004)

Let's talk about sex.

________________________

Life story of Alfred Kinsey, a man driven to uncover the most private secrets of the nation, and a journey into the mystery of human behavior. In 1948 Kinsey irrevocably changed American culture and created a media sensation with his book "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male". Using the technique of his own famous sex interviews, story recounts the scientist's extraordinary journey from obscurity to global fame. Rebelling against the rigid piety of his home life, and drawn to the world of the senses, Kinsey becomes a Harvard-educated zoologist specializing in the study of gall wasps. After being hired to teach biology at Indiana University, Kinsey meets and marries a witty, freethinking female student, Clara McMillen. In the course of his teaching he discovers an astonishing dearth of scientific data on sexual behavior. When students seek him out for advice about sexual concerns and problems, he realizes that no one has done the clinical research that would yield reliable answers to their questions. Inspired to explore the emotionally charged subject of sex from a strictly scientific point of view, Kinsey recruits a team of researchers, including Clyde Martin, Wardell Pomeroy and Paul Gebhard. Over time they refine an interviewing technique, which helps people to break through shame, fear, and guilt and speak freely about their sexual histories. When Kinsey publishes his Male study in 1948, the press compares the impact to that of the atom bomb. But as the country enters the more paranoid Cold War era of the 1950s, Kinsey's follow-up study on women is seen as an attack on basic American values. The ensuing outrage and scorn causes Kinsey's benefactors to abandon him, just as his health begins to deteriorate. At the same time, the jealousies and acrimony caused by Kinsey's attempt to create a private sexual utopia threaten to tear apart the research team and expose them to unwelcome scrutiny. Written by Sujit R. Varma

Kinsey is a biologist and a sex researcher. He releases reports about sexual behavior of American people in 1948 and 1953. He interviews 18,000 people to take sex histories. It is sensational and controversial because it is taboo to talk about sex. And people have little knowledge of it. No knowledge makes them worry and feel guilty. Actually, he and his wife lose their virginity after their marriage, but it is unsuccessful. From the bad experience, and as he consults with his students to give them advice about sexual problems, he gets interested in revealing people's sexual behavior. He devotes his life to sex research. His academic curiosity is amazing. He supports "diversity" and "individualism". He claims there are common and rare sexual behaviors, but we shouldn't categorize it into the two groups, normal and abnormal. He influences a lot of people. Especially, he encourages and saves homosexual people. In short, Kinsey is an influential figure who is fascinated with sex research and contributes to the society.

@mrcdplay you're giving me as argument an article made by a conservative website that has ads on the side saying "preparing christian leaders to change the world".

"What's your most common position?"

"There's more than one?"

We all thank you, Alfred Kinsey!

It's kind of really an unordinary thing to see Liam Neeson taking part in a movie, which involves the whole sexuality thing.

@xXvolhvXx Bullshit. It is illegal to keep that information from the police. If one of your clients is a pedophile and preying on children, you have to disclose that information.

Yes, I watched the movie. They tried to make Kinsey look good by hiding his pedophile side and still the movie was disgusting. The man and all his followers are assholes.

@bobzeda Now that's a good point. It has been shown that although Kinsey had claimed to have interviewed nine male subjects who had sexual experiences with juveniles, all of the information had come from a single subject. Nonetheless, there had never been anything like what Kinsey accomplished, save for Freud's cocaine-fueled ravings. Kinsey made history, and the Institute seems to be the leader on experimental sexology today. By the way, what are your sources?

[xXvolhvXx]

@tdyck12345 That was a matter of professionalism. It is illegal for people who work as clinical psychologists, pharmacists or such to disclose personal information about their patients and/or clients. Why? Mainly because if it weren't illegal, people wouldn't be honest with them and that would strongly diminish the effectiveness of the work. Moreover, as members of the developed world we must hold privacy in high regard however it may be.

Have you watched the movie?

I believe his methodology was HUGELY flawed.The chapter on Child Sexuality is based HEAVILY on a DAIRY of a "Mr Green" who was a known pedophile. He kept a dairy of HIGHLY flawed "research." He documented when HE thought a child was organsiming.If they started to cry or weep--he considered that a CLIMAX?!

Leaving criminality out of the equation, what university would allow such SLOPPY "research" by an untrained, social deviant like Mr. Green? The Kinsey Center doesn't even deny it.

[tdyck12345]

Kinsey should have been jailed for his support of pedophiles. His followers today are just as disgusting.
