'''Alfred Charles Kinsey''' (June 23, 1894 – August 25, 1956) was an American [[biologist]] and professor of [[entomology]] and [[zoology]], who in 1947 founded the Institute for [[sex]] research at [[Indiana University (Bloomington)|Indiana University]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kinseyinstitute.org/about/origins.html|title=Origin of the Institute |accessdate=2010-03-30|publisher=The Kinsey Institute}}</ref> now known as the [[Kinsey Reports]], [[Kinsey scale]] and [[Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction]]. Kinsey's research on [[human sexuality]], foundational to the modern field of [[sexology]], provoked controversy in the 1940s and 1950s. His work has profoundly influenced social and cultural values in the United States and many other countries. |
|||
== Biography== |
|||
Alfred Kinsey was born on June 23, 1894, in [[Hoboken, New Jersey|Hoboken]], to Alfred Seguine Kinsey and Sarah Ann Charles. Kinsey was the eldest of three children. His mother had received little formal education; though his father was a professor at [[Stevens Institute of Technology]]. |
|||
===Early life and education=== |
|||
Kinsey's parents were poor for most of his childhood. Consequently, the family often could not afford proper medical care, which may have led to young Kinsey's receiving inadequate treatment for a variety of diseases including [[rickets]], [[rheumatic fever]], and [[typhoid fever]]. This health record indicates that Kinsey received suboptimal exposure to sunlight (the cause of rickets in those days before milk and other foods were fortified with [[vitamin D]]) and lived in unsanitary conditions for at least part of his childhood. Rickets, leading to a curvature of the [[vertebral column|spine]], resulted in a slight stoop that was to prevent Kinsey from being [[The Draft|drafted]] in 1917 for [[World War I]]. Kinsey's parents were extremely devout [[Christians]]; this left a powerful imprint on Kinsey for the rest of his life. His father was known as one of the most devout members of the local [[Methodism|Methodist]] church and as a result most of Kinsey's social interactions were with other members of the church, often merely as a silent observer while his parents discussed religion with other similarly devout adults.<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/kinsey/peopleevents/p_kinsey.html American Experience | Kinsey | People & Events | PBS<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Kinsey's father imposed strict rules on the household including mandating Sunday as a day of prayer (and little else). |
|||
At a young age, Kinsey showed great interest in [[nature]] and [[camping]]. He worked and camped with the local [[YMCA]] often throughout his early years. He enjoyed these activities to such an extent that he intended to work professionally for the [[YMCA]] after his education was completed. Even Kinsey's senior undergraduate thesis for [[psychology]], a [[dissertation]] on the [[group dynamics]] of young boys, echoed this interest. He joined the [[Boy Scouts of America|Boy Scouts]] when a troop was formed in his community. His parents strongly supported this (and joined as well) because the Boy Scouts was an organization heavily grounded on the principles of Christianity. Kinsey diligently worked his way up through the Scouting ranks to earn [[Eagle Scout rank (Boy Scouts of America)|Eagle Scout]] in 1913, making him one of the earliest Eagle Scouts.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/kinsey/peopleevents/p_kinsey.html |title=Alfred Charles Kinsey (1894-1956) |accessdate=2006-11-09 |work=American Experience: Kinsy |publisher=PBS}}</ref> Despite earlier disease having weakened his heart, Kinsey followed an intense sequence of difficult hikes and camping expeditions throughout his early life. |
|||
In high school, Kinsey was a quiet but extremely hard-working student. While attending [[Columbia High School (New Jersey)|Columbia High School]], he was not interested in sports, but rather devoted his energy to academic work and the piano. At one time, Kinsey had hoped to become a concert pianist, but decided to concentrate on his scientific pursuits instead. Kinsey's ability early on to spend immense amounts of time deeply focused on study was a trait that would serve him well in college and during his professional career. Kinsey seems not to have formed strong social relationships during high school, but he earned respect for his academic ability. While there, Kinsey became interested in [[biology]], [[botany]] and [[zoology]]. Kinsey was later to claim that his high school biology teacher, Natalie Roeth, was the most important influence on his decision to become a scientist. Kinsey approached his father with plans to study [[botany]] at college. His father demanded that he study engineering at [[Stevens Institute of Technology]] in Hoboken. Kinsey was unhappy at Stevens, and later remarked that his time there was one of the most wasteful periods of his life. |
|||
Regardless, he continued his obsessive commitment to studying. At Stevens, he primarily took courses related to English and engineering, but was unable to satisfy his interest in biology. At the end of two years at Stevens, Kinsey gathered the courage to confront his father about his interest in biology and his intent to continue studying at [[Bowdoin College]] in [[Maine]]. His father vehemently opposed this, but finally relented. This decision essentially destroyed his relationship with his father and deeply troubled him for years to come. |
|||
In the fall of 1914, Kinsey entered [[Bowdoin College]], where he became familiar with insect research under [[Manton Copeland]], and was admitted to the [[Zeta Psi]] fraternity, in whose house he lived for much of his time at college.<ref>{{Cite document |last=Weinberg |first=Martin S. |year=1976 |title=Sex Research: Studies from the Kinsey Institute |pages=25 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location= |isbn= |postscript=<!--None-->}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Gathorne-Hardy |first=Jonathan |year=2000 |title=Sex, the Measure of All Things: A Life of Alfred C.

It was there that Kinsey studied applied biology under [[William Morton Wheeler]], a scientist who made outstanding contributions to [[entomology]]. Under Wheeler, Kinsey worked almost completely autonomously, which suited both men quite well. |
|||
Kinsey chose to do his doctoral thesis on [[gall wasp]]s, and began collecting samples of the species with zeal. He traveled widely and took 26 detailed measurements on hundreds of thousands of gall wasps, and his methodology was itself an important contribution to entomology as a science. Kinsey was granted a [[Sc.D.]] degree in 1919 by [[Harvard University]], and published several papers in 1920 under the auspices of the [[American Museum of Natural History]] in [[New York]], introducing the gall wasp to the scientific community and laying out its [[phylogeny]]. Of the more than 18 million insects in the museum's collection, some 5 million are gall wasps collected by Kinsey.<ref>{{Cite journal| last=Yudell |first=Michael |title=Kinsey's Other Report |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1134/is_6_108/ai_55127889 |journal=Natural History |issn=0028-0712 |date=July 1, 1999 |volume=108 |issue=6| postscript=<!--None-->}}</ref> |
|||
==Personal life== |
|||
===Marriage and family=== |
|||
Kinsey married [[Clara Bracken McMillen]], whom he called Mac, in 1921. They had four children. Their first-born, Don, died from the acute complications of [[juvenile diabetes]] in 1927, just before his fifth birthday. <!-- (This was five years after the first patient was successfully treated with [[insulin]] injections, in 1922, and it was three years after the [[Nobel Prize]] was awarded for discovering the efficacy of Insulin. It is unusual for a life-scientist's family to be so behind medical research, but in the early 20th century, scientific research was not a very lucrative profession, so one might have learned of leading-edge treatments without actually receiving them. [This does not mean he didn't receive treatment, as little was known at that time about blood glucose monitoring and other long term sequelae of this still-mysterious disease.])--> Daughter Anne was born in 1924, daughter Joan in 1925, and son Bruce in 1928. Kinsey wrote a widely used high-school textbook, ''An Introduction to Biology'', which was published in October 1926.<ref>{{cite book|title=Kinsey, A Biography|first=Cornelia V.|last=Christenson|year=1971|publisher=Indiana University Press|page=57}}</ref> The book endorsed evolution and unified, at the introductory level, the previously separate fields of zoology and botany.<ref>{{cite book|title=An Introduction to Biology|first=Alfred Charles|last=Kinsey|editor=William Fletcher Russell|year=1927|publisher=Lippincott}}</ref> Kinsey also co-wrote a classic book on edible plants with [[Merritt Lyndon Fernald]] published in 1943 called ''Edible Wild Plants of Eastern North America''. This book is still regarded as an authoritative source in the area, but is not generally associated with Kinsey. The original draft of the book was written in 1919-1920, while Kinsey was still a doctoral student at the Bussey Institute and Fernald was working at the [[Arnold Arboretum]].<ref>Del Tredici, Peter.

== Kinsey and sexology == |
|||
=== The Kinsey Reports === |
|||
{{main|Kinsey Reports}} |
|||
Kinsey is generally regarded as the father of [[sexology]], the systematic, scientific study of [[human sexuality]]. He initially became interested in the different forms of sexual practices around 1933, after discussing the topic extensively with a colleague, Robert Kroc. It is likely that Kinsey's study of the variations in mating practices among [[gall wasp]]s led him to wonder how widely varied sexual practices among humans were. During this work, he developed a scale measuring sexual orientation, now known as the [[Kinsey Scale]] which ranges from 0 to 6, where 0 is exclusively [[heterosexuality|heterosexual]] and 6 is exclusively [[homosexuality|homosexual]]; a rating of ''X'', for [[asexuality|asexual]], was added later by Kinsey's associates. |
|||
In 1935, Kinsey delivered a lecture to a faculty discussion group at Indiana University, his first public discussion of the topic, wherein he attacked the "widespread ignorance of sexual structure and physiology" and promoted his view that "delayed marriage" (that is, delayed sexual experience) was psychologically harmful. Kinsey obtained research funding from the [[Rockefeller Foundation]], which enabled him to inquire into human sexual behavior. His ''[[Kinsey Reports]]''—starting with the publication of ''[[Sexual Behavior in the Human Male]]'' in 1948, followed in 1953 by ''[[Sexual Behavior in the Human Female]]''—reached the top of bestseller lists and turned Kinsey into an instant celebrity. Articles about him appeared in magazines such as ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'', ''[[Life magazine|Life]]'', ''[[Look (American magazine)|Look]]'', and ''[[McCall's]]''. Kinsey's reports, which led to a storm of controversy, are regarded by many as an enabler of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Indiana University's president [[Herman B Wells]] defended Kinsey's research in what became a well-known test of [[academic freedom]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} |

=== Controversial aspects of his work === |
|||
Kinsey's sex research went beyond theory and interview to include observation of and participation in sexual activity, including homosexual activity, with co-workers and others. He justified this as being necessary to gain the confidence of his research subjects; Jones and Dalrymple, amongst others, have speculated that he was driven by his own sexual needs, and what those needs might have been. He encouraged his staff to do likewise, and engage in a wide range of sexual activity, to the extent they felt comfortable; he argued that this would help his interviewers understand the participant responses.<ref name="Vern1">{{cite journal|first=Vern L.|last=Bullough|title=Book Review "Alfred C.

Jones wrote that Kinsey's sexual activity influenced his work, that he over-represented prisoners and prostitutes, classified some single people as "married",<ref name="Jones">Jones, James H. (1997). Alfred C. Kinsey: A Public/Private Life. New York: Norton.</ref> and that he included a disproportionate number of homosexual men, particularly from Indiana, in his sample, which may have distorted his studies.<ref name="Vern1"/><ref name="Vern2"/> It has also been pointed out he omitted African Americans in his research.<ref>{{cite journal|last = Reumann|first = Miriam|title = American Sexual Character: Sex, Gender, and National Identity in the Kinsey Reports|journal = Archives of Sexual Behavior|volume = Volume 36|issue = Number 5|pages = 294|publisher = Springer Netherlands|location = University of California Press, Berkeley|date = 2005}}</ref> Bullough explains that the data was later re-processed, excluding prisoners and data derived from an exclusively gay sample, and the results indicate that it does not appear to have skewed the data. Kinsey had over-represented people who were homosexual, but Bullough considers this may have been because this was stigmatized and needed to be understood.<ref name="Vern1"/><ref name="Vern2"/> It was [[Paul Gebhard]], in the 1970s, who removed all suspect data (e.g., pertaining to prisoners and similar respondents), and recalculated significant sets of figures against results given by "100 percent" groups.

|||
The popularity of ''Sexual Behavior in the Human Male'' prompted widespread media interest in 1948. ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine declared, "Not since ''Gone With the Wind'' had booksellers seen anything like it."<ref name="Time1">{{cite news | date = 1948-03-01 | url = http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,794270,00.html| title = How to Stop Gin Rummy| work = Time | accessdate = 2007-09-11}}</ref> The first pop culture references to Kinsey appeared not long after the book's publication: "[R]ubber-faced comic [[Martha Raye]] [sold] a half-million copies of 'Ooh, Dr. Kinsey!'"<ref>{{cite news | date = 2004-12-12 | url =http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/12/arts/12rich.html?ex=1260334800&en=0297f1d1dff963fa&ei=5088| title = The Plot Against Sex in America| work = New York Times | accessdate = 2007-09-11 | first=Frank | last=Rich}}</ref> [[Cole Porter]]'s song "[[Too Darn Hot]]", from the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical ''[[Kiss Me, Kate]]'', devoted its bridge to an analysis of the Kinsey report and the "average man's favorite sport." In 1949, [[Mae West]], reminiscing on the days when the word "sex" was rarely uttered, said of Kinsey, "That guy merely makes it easy for me. Now I don't have to draw 'em any blueprints...We are both in the same business...Except I saw it first."<ref name="Time2">{{cite news | date = 1949-03-07 | url = http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,853645,00.html| title = People | work = Time | accessdate = 2007-09-11}}</ref> |
|||
The publication of ''Sexual Behavior in the Human Female'' prompted even more intensive news coverage: Kinsey appeared on the cover of the August 24, 1953, issue of ''Time''. The national newsmagazine featured two articles on the scientist, one focusing on his research career and new book,<ref name="Time3">{{cite news | date = 1953-08-24 | url = http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,818752,00.html | title = 5,940 Women | work = Time | accessdate = 2007-09-11}}</ref> the other on his background, personality, and lifestyle.<ref name="Time4">{{citeweb | date = 1953-08-24 | url = http://aolsvc.timeforkids.kol.aol.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,818753-1,00.html | title = Dr. Kinsey of Bloomington | work = Time | accessdate = 2007-09-11}}</ref> In the magazine's cover portrait, "Flowers, birds, and a bee surround Kinsey; the mirror-of-Venus female symbol decorates his bow tie."<ref>Reinisch (1990), p. xvii.</ref> The lead article concludes with the following observation: "'Kinsey...has done for sex what Columbus did for geography,' declared a pair of enthusiasts...forgetting that Columbus did not know where he was when he got there....

==Death== |
|||
Kinsey died on August 25, 1956, at the age of 62. The cause of death was reported to be a heart ailment and [[pneumonia]].<ref name = "APobit">{{cite news|url=http://writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/kinsey.html|title=Dr. Kinsey is Dead; Sex Researcher, 62|work=New York Times|date=08-26-1956}}</ref> This passage was written about his work in ''The New York Times'': |
|||
{{quote|The untimely death of Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey takes from the American scene an important and valuable, as well as controversial, figure. Whatever may have been the reaction to his findings—and to the unscrupulous use of some of them—the fact remains that he was first, last, and always a scientist. In the long run it is probable that the values of his contribution to contemporary thought will lie much less in what he found out than in the method he used and his way of applying it. Any sort of scientific approach to the problems of sex is difficult because the field is so deeply overlaid with such things as moral precept, taboo, individual and group training, and long established behavior patterns. Some of these may be good in themselves, but they are no help to the scientific and empirical method of getting at the truth. Dr. Kinsey cut through this overlay with detachment and precision. His work was conscientious and comprehensive. Naturally, it will receive a serious setback with his death. Let us earnestly hope that the scientific spirit that inspired it will not be similarly impaired.<ref>Quoted in Pomeroy (1972).</ref>}} |
|||
==Legacy in popular culture== |
|||
The 2000s have seen renewed interest in Kinsey. The musical ''Dr. Sex'' focuses on the relationship between Kinsey, his wife, and their shared lover Wally Matthews (based on [[Clyde Martin]]). The play—with score by Larry Bortniker, book by Bortniker and Sally Deering—premiered in Chicago in 2003, winning seven [[Joseph Jefferson Awards|Jeff Awards]]. It was produced off-Broadway in 2005. The 2004 [[biographical film]] ''[[Kinsey (film)|Kinsey]]'', written and directed by [[Bill Condon]], stars [[Liam Neeson]] as the scientist and [[Laura Linney]] as his wife. In 2004 as well, [[T. Coraghessan Boyle]]'s novel about Kinsey, ''[[The Inner Circle (novel)|The Inner Circle]]'', was published. The following year, [[PBS]] produced the documentary ''Kinsey'' in cooperation with the [[Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction|Kinsey Institute]], which allowed access to many of its files. ''Mr. Sex'', a [[BBC]] radio play by Steve Coombes concerning Kinsey and his work, won the 2005 Imison Award.<ref>{{citeweb| url =http://web.ukonline.co.uk/suttonelms/imison2005.html| title =Imison Award 2005| publisher= Society of Authors| accessdate = 2007-09-12}}</ref> |

mmmm experimenting on children...sounds a bit pedo to me. Hang on a minute, if 50% of the population is gay then how the fuck is the human species reproducing... or did Kinsey just enjoy touching children and filming porn in his house. Anyway I spit on his grave... maybe he's turned on by that even the dirty fucker.
