About Alfred Kinsey

  • Born: June 23, 1894
  • Died: August 25, 1956
  • Occupation: Biologist
    • It is amazing to observe how many psychologists and psychiatrists have accepted this sort of propaganda, and have come to believe that homosexual males and females are discretely different from persons who respond to natural stimuli. instead of using these terms as substantives which stand for persons, or even as adjectives to describe persons, they may better be used to describe the nature of the overt sexual relations, or of the stimuli to which an individual erotically responds.
    Believe Gay Males
    The male's difficulties in his sexual relations after marriage include a lack of facility, of ease, or of suavity in establishing rapport in a sexual situation.
    Marriage Sex Males
    The very general occurrence of the homosexual in ancient greece, and its wide occurrence today in some cultures in which such activity is not taboo suggests that the capacity of an individual to respond erotically to any sort of stimulus, whether it is provided by another person of the same or opposite sex, is basic in the species.
    Sex Opposites Culture
    It is ordinarily said that criminal law is designed to protect property and to protect persons, and if society's only interest in controlling sex behavior were to protect persons, then the criminal codes concerned with assault and battery should provide adequate protection. the fact that there is a body of sex laws which is apart from the laws protecting persons is evidence of their distinct function, namely that of protecting custom.
    Sex Law Body
    Few males achieve any real freedom in their sexual relations even with their wives. few males realise how badly inhibited they are on these matters.
    Real Wife Males
    Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. the world is not to be divided into sheeps and goats. not all things are black nor all things white.
    Two White Black
    If biologists so often forget the most universal of all biologic principles [variation], it is not surprising that men and women in general expect their fellows to think and behave according to the pattern that may fit the law-maker, or the imaginary ideals for which the legislation was fashioned, but which are ill-shaped for all real individuals who try to live under them.
    Real Men Thinking
    The range of variation in the female far exceeds the range of variation in the male.
    Males Female Variation
    If all persons with any trace of homosexual history, or those who were predominantly homosexual, were eliminated from the population today, there is no reason for believing that the incidence of the homosexual in the next generation would be materially reduced. the homosexual has been a significant part of human sexual activity since the dawn of history, primarily because it is an expression of capacities that are basic in the human animal.
    Believe Gay Animal
    The heterosexuality or homosexuality of many individuals is not an all-or-none proposition.
    Heterosexuality Is Individual Homosexuality
    Art alone develops weaklings, science alone, monsters. somewhere, somehow, we must combine the two.
    Art Two Monsters
    Cheese crumbs spread before a pair of copulating rats will distract the female but not the male.
    Males Female Rats
