The movie Kinsey is a total whitewash of the man.
Don't get me wrong -It was good, well acted, Laura Linney was wonderful
But it sugarcoated many of the demons that drove Kinsey
and the personal agenda that drove his work and dominated the lives of everyone around him.
He produced some amazing work
He collected 1 million gall wasps
He pioneered the personal interview as a powerful tool for research
He laid the groundwork to the homosexual awakening and the womens liberation movement.
He titilatted and provoked the American Public about the most taboo of subjects.
He also promoted a pedophiliac agenda by encouraging the sexualization of children, specifically in the male booktable 34.
He used methods that became more bizarre and undermined the validity of his research
He promoted his sexual agenda while hiding behind the non-biased veil of science
He took the fun out of sex, the love out of sex, the intimacy out of sex by placing the emphasis on the sole importance of an orgasm.
He never fully understood the power of the female orgasm
Most of all I am interested in how his research team, their families, and Kinseys wife went along with everything the man suggested. Wife Swapping, Homosexual encounter, video taping, extramarital affairs, sadomaschism. These are not "bad" behaviors. Its just for this to happen during the period of time it did, to continue at length and to extremes it is intriguing.
Thats science, I guess
