Video Title :	Kinsey - Trailer (2004)
Description :	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.

omg look at john's face hahahahaha

This was a wonderful film. Alfred Kinsey was such an interesting man and this film definitely personified that.

Now I want to see the movie...Thanks to my psyc class.

Please explain this to me: Kinsey studied the sexual responses to young infants to sexual stimulii. How was this data collected?

Its good to see that the religious nutjobs still hate Kinsey after 60 years. Kinsey was attempting to document human sexuality, even though we all despise it pedophilia is a part of human sexuality. A scientist simply can't omit the aspects he doesn't like. He someone was researching violence they wouldn't omit serial killers because their work wouldn't accurately document the human condition. In short, grow the fuck up.

LOL true man, grow the fuck up, i couldn't agree more !!!

Kinsey a great man ... so great he got rid of his foreskin using a pen. no anesthetic either Links to known pedophiles, he protected wat a guy...

Alfred Kinsey burns in hell. He helped get rid of harsh punishments for sex crimes and protected pedophiles who admitted to the sexual abuse of children during his studies. Members of the Kinsey Institute who worked with him admit he protected them. One woman claims that Kinsey paid her grandfather to molest her so he could study how she reacted. He even claimed that no real damage is done when a boy or girl is molested.

Yeah, he got rid of the harsh punishments for what.. Homosexuality? By my knowledge rape and pedophilia is punishable, in some oriental countries even by cutting the penis of the perpetrator. Gossip is and ever will be 'nice to hear', so until someone comes up with evidence, Alfred Kinsey is an innovator, a person who opened up a lot of minds and got rid of the sex taboo in a time in which doing that could have meant social exclusion. Cheers to him.

Evidence of protecting peadophiles comes from the KINSEY INSTITUTE. Look it up. He helped lower the penalties for rape and peadophilia by his conjecture that neither would cause lasting harm. The Model Penal Code was written based on his findings. It was adopted in the 1960's, ending the death penalty and long sentences for all sex offenses in most states and statutes of limitation for rape were adopted in all states, meaning that no rapist could be tried five years after the crime.
