Kinsey:the horror story

Hollywood is at it again:seeking to defend the indefensible. The release of Kinsey:Let's Talk About Sex, is another indication of just how out of touch Hollywood is from mainstream culture.

The film, starring Liam Neeson, is basically a fluff job on Alfred Kinsey in particular, and the sexual revolution in general. It seeks to sanitize a man and a revolution that have caused an enormous amount of damage.

Kinsey of course is the notorious American serologist (1894-1956) whose agenda was to soften up the public to the view that any and every sort of sexuality was permissible.

He sought to convince us that there was no norm when it came to human sexual expression whatsoever and that we should embrace any sexual expression whatsoever. Here are some of his findings:

ALL orgasms are "outlets" and are equally valid whether between husband and wife, boy and dog, man and man or adult and child for, in sexual expression, normal is individually determined.

THE more "outlets" the healthier the person, and beginning as early as possible is better than waiting.

HUMAN beings are naturally bisexual.

RELIGIOUS bigotry and prejudice force people into chastity, heterosexuality and monogamy.

THERE is no medical or other reason for adult-child sex or incest to be forbidden.

People like Hugh Hefner of Playboy fame of course helped out this agenda. And today we see the result of this social and sexual revolution: broken families, marriage disintegration, a tide of pornography, including child pornography, an epidemic of promiscuity and sexually transmitted diseases, skyrocketing abortion rates, a crisis in teenage pregnancies, an explosion of rape and sexual assault and a tide of pornography, including child pornography, an epidemic of promiscuity and sexually transmitted diseases, skyrocketing abortion rates, a crisis in teenage pregnancies, an explosion of rape and sexual assault and a culture that believes hedonism is the highest good, and self control and restraint the greatest evil.

The '60s sexual revolution was the bitter fruit of the agenda prompted by Kinsey. But the film simply sugarcoats the man, seeking to turn this committed atheist and socially revolutionary into a saint.Most people do not know that Kinsey collected most of his data from imprisoned sex offenders, criminals, pedophiles and prostitutes. He took this obviously skewed data and tried to make the result appear to be normal and mainstream.

However, perversion masquerading as science is still perversion. Many of the myths of the sexual revolution are based on on Kinsey's flawed conclusions, such as that children are sexual from birth, sexual promiscuity is the norm and 10 per cent of the population is homosexual.

Not only were the fruits of his research dangerous, but so was the research itself. We know Kinsey and his associates used children aged from five months to 14 years in his sex experiments.For example, in table 34 of his Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948), Kinsey sought to show that the youngest of children, even as young as five months, could be sexually active.

In the table, four year old boys, for example, were sexually stimulated for 24 uninterrupted hours. The book examines some of the reactions to such "experimentation". These ranged from violent convulsions, crying, fainting and frenzied movements.

These reactions, recorded with cold, clinical precision, are nothing less than descriptions of criminal child abuse. Remarkably, however, the study of the reactions concludes by noting that the subject "will fight away from the partner and may make violent attempts to avoid climax, although the derive definite pleasure from the situation". Does that sound like pleasure?

It sounds like child sexual assault of the worst kind. And as one pediatrician noted, "these children had to be held down or subject to strapping down, otherwise the would not respond willingly". Yet this film seeks to defend Kinsey and his associates, and glosses over the fact that actual child abuse may have occurred.

Defenders of the film and of the Kinsey experiments) accuse us of being manic-mongers. If concern about pedophilia is a sign of panic-mongering, perhaps we need more of it. For the moment, until society becomes more "enlightened", pedophilia is a criminal offence.

It is one thing to give a general defense of Kinsey. But for this film to ignore the serious charges being brought against Kinsey, especially the Table 34 material, is both offensive and frightening.

A society that has become so desensitized that it can turn a pervert into entertainment material is a society that has lost it's way.
