The institute has long been a lightning rod. Reisman The writer, co-author of "Kinsey, Sex and Fraud," is president of the Institute for Media Education.Indiana state legislators finally found a way to punish the Kinsey Institute, the internationally renowned center for the study of human sexuality based at Indiana University. It is also time that we locate and help the 317 children whose molestations were timed with a stopwatch and recorded with scholarly care 50 years ago - all in the name of science. It is time that the taxpayers who helped pay for Kinsey's research found out the truth. In a 1977 seminar on "Ethical Issues in Sex Therapy," Paul Gebhard, former Kinsey Institute director and Kinsey co-author, related "our refusal to cooperate with authorities in apprehending a pedophile we had interviewed who was being sought for a sex murder."Ī congressional bill introduced by Steve Stockman (R-Tex.) with 41 sponsors - the Child Protection and Ethics in Education Act of 1995 - would determine if Kinsey's two main volumes are "the result of any fraud or criminal wrongdoing." Kinsey and his colleagues did not try to intervene by reporting pedophiles to authorities. sometimes with an abundance of tears (especially among younger children)" and afflicted with "extreme trembling, collapse, and sometimes fainting." Kinsey also writes that the subjects "will fight away from the partner." Tripp, Kinsey colleague and photographer, said that Kinsey would "listen only to pedophiles who were very careful, used stopwatches, knew how to record their thing." Kinsey's book describes pre-adolescent subjects being observed "sobbing. Did Kinsey's compassion extend to those boys? In a 1990 interview on the "Donahue" show, C. This would be news to the 317 children whose molestations by a pedophile were the basis for much of Kinsey's research into child sexuality for his book. In his letter to the editor, John Bancroft, head of the Kinsey Institute, asserts that Kinsey's "integrity as a scientist and his compassion as a human being are beyond dispute."

SIECUS is currently being funded by the Centers for Disease Control to develop sexuality education nationally. Wardell Pomeroy has said so in print - although the culture is not thought to be quite ready yet. My experience with the top echelon of the sex education establishment is that many quietly agree with Kinsey's conclusions on adult-child sex: Consensual relations can be beneficial. are gentle, and affectionate, and are not dangerous in the way child molesters are stereotypically considered to be." I also strongly disagree with Bancroft that Kinsey's pedophile data "made absolutely no difference to the development of sex education in this country." Before his death, Kinsey (together with the National Institute for Mental Health) designated Planned Parenthood medical director Mary Calderone to "implement a planned role" in relation to sex education - she founded SIECUS (Sex Information and Education Council of the United States) for this purpose.īefore being finally watered down to a more ambiguous statement, a preliminary draft of the SIECUS manifesto (1980) concluded: "Most pedophiles. Kinsey author Wardell Pomeroy also admitted that Kinsey's theories of childhood sexual development were derived largely from the sexual "experiments" of this one deviant - who, incidentally, had sex with more than 800 children, with much of his own family and with "animals of many species." There must be few people living today (Bancroft excepted) who would view the (undisclosed) use of this single data source to describe normal development as not compromising one's "integrity as a scientist" or "compassion as a human being." Kinsey Institute Director John Bancroft's defense of Alfred Kinsey's infamous sex research is disappointing - and troubling.īancroft acknowledges that Kinsey's information on childhood orgasmic capacity all came from one pedophile and not the several persons Kinsey had claimed.
