Kinsey and the Homosexual Revolution
Judith Reisman
Americans bestow authority-
Under scrutiny is the role of Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey and his contention that Americans are 10% to 47%, more or less, homosexual. Kinsey's percentage was seized upon by Harry Hay, the father of the homosexual "civil rights" movement, when Hay formed the Mattachine Society, urging that homosexuality be seen no longer as an act of sodomy but as a 10% minority class. Today, scores of homosexual activists cite Kinsey as the man who made the homosexual movement possible.[3]
But what if all of Kinsey's work was fraudulent, or worse? What if it reflects unethical
scientists conducting unprosecuted criminal acts? For example, is it possible that
scientists have conducted sexual experiments on children? Or that they could allow
or encourage child abusers to conduct such experiments? The possibility that this
actually occurred-
The Science Crime & Fraud Context
Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany and Communist Russia are modern crU+006Fss-
But, it has not only been totalitarian governments which have produced unethical
scientists. Our own nation-
Pappworth published Human Guinea Pigs, a detailed recitation of experiments reported in reputable journals in which subjects were exposed to a variety of risky procedures not intended to benefit them. In chapter after chapter, he described the insertion of catheters and biopsy needles into important organs of the body (bladder, kidney, heart, liver) and resulting meningitis, shock, liver damage and cardiac arrest. The subjects of these procedures were newborns, infants and children (both healthy and diseased), pregnant women, prisoners, patients undergoing surgery, the mentally disabled, the aged, the critically ill, and the dying...[revealing] little concern on the part of investigators for their subjects ....experiments which involved injecting hepatitis virus into mentally retarded children at the Willowbrook State School in New York.[4]
Part of the problem is that the establishment press remains amazingly silent in the face of the most vile domestic scientific barbarisms. The Willowbrook school scandal and similar inhumane scientific abuses reflect but a few of the unprosecuted science felonies to reach the public. For example, examine some cites from Harry S. Truman and the War Scare of 1948 by Frank Kofsky (1995):
Beginning in the late 1940s, under programs authorized by Truman, the U.S. government deliberately dropped radioactive material from planes or released it on the ground in a dozen experiments after World War II....Eight of the tests occurred in Tennessee and Utah in an effort to create a battlefield radiation weapon. In four other tests, radiation was released into the air in New Mexico....In at least four of these 12 experiments, radiation spread beyond the planned boundaries of the test....[5]
[And] All the tests were conducted between 1948 and 1952. The implication is clear:
so vile were these "experiments" that even the Eisenhower administration could not
stomach their continuation.... Nineteen mentally retarded boys who thought they were
participating in a science club in the 1940s and 1950s were actually fed radioactive
milk by scientists who wanted to learn about the digestive system, the Boston Sunday
Globe reported." The "scientists" in question were affiliated with such ruling-
[On radiating expectant mothers to see what the results would be] The figures in the Boston Globe's initial stories, however, proved to be far short of the mark, for the number of expectant women actually dosed with radioactive materials during these "experiments" probably numbered in the thousands. . . .several of the children exposed to the radioactive iron during their mother's pregnancy died....Army spokesmen acknowledged that 239 populated areas from coast to coast had been blanketed with bacteria between 1949 and 1969. Tests involved covering areas of Alaska and Hawaii and the cities of San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, and Panama City in Florida. Some tests were more focused, such as those in which bacteria were sprayed onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike or into the New York City subway system.
"Distinguished scientists," writes Leonard A. Cole, "testified at the hearings that the tests were inappropriate and dangerous....the incidence of illnesses suddenly increased in some areas near the tests.[6]
The other part of the problem is, without an informed public directing its own community
af-
Who, by now, has not heard of the Tuskeegee syphilis experiments? If some American
scientists could knowingly allow men to die slowly of syphilis, if others could infect
pregnant women and endanger the lives of their unborn children, if still other unethical
scientists could inject healthy and mentally retarded children with hepatitis, could
not some American scientists teach pederasts and pedophiles techniques for sexually
abusing children for "science"? Looking candidly at the facts of American scientific
felons and the commonality of collegial collusion through silence or support, could
scientists-
The Historical Context
Truman took office in 1945 and shortly thereafter released the atomic bomb. Kofsky's
documentation suggests that Kinsey's revolutionary report was a welcome public diversion
for Truman's administration. However, while the A-
The 1945 A-
On the one hand, Americans were awed by Oppenheimer's ability to end the worldwide
threat of war. On the other hand, our faith in ourselves as the world's savior was
shattered by both the nuclear scare and ensuing newsreels of burning Japanese children,
subverting our sense of moral integrity and who we really were as Americans. Aided
by an army that now dispensed condoms, Yankee soldier-
The 1948 A-
Despite the common sense fact of low rates of illegitimacy and VD, despite personal
knowledge of faithful and virtuous family and friends, mainstream America was dramatically
shaken by Kinsey's data. The popular press hawked Kinsey as a diversion from Truman's
ominous cold-
The question anyone should be asking is: How did Kinsey get the statistics on childhood sexuality... that were to revolutionize the schoolroom, courtroom, pressroom, and bedroom? More succinctly put, did the Kinsey team participate in the pedophile abuse of 317 infants and children?

Kinsey's Research on Child Orgasm
Dr. Alfred Kinsey's research on child orgasm is described in Chapter 5 of his book
Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948).[7] Some of the observations are summarized
in Tables 30-
Did Kinsey instigate or encourage these practices? And did he actually use pedophiles
to obtain the data for Tables 30-
[Reisman is] talking about data that came from pedophiles, that he [Kinsey] would listen only to pedophiles who were very careful, used stopwatches, knew how to record their thing, did careful surveys....[T]hey were trained observers.[8]
Two questions cry out for an answer: What was the nature of the training given to these "trained observers"? And, who "trained" them? Perhaps Dr. Tripp or others can answer these questions. A 1991 book review in the respected British medical journal, The Lancet, noted:
[T]he important allegations from the scientific viewpoint are the imperfections in
the [Kinsey] sample and unethical, possibly criminal observations on children....Kinsey...has
left his former co-
Tripp is not the only former Kinsey colleague to admit that actual pedophiles were
involved in the Kinsey Institute's child sexuality studies. A taped telephone interview
with Dr. Paul Gebhard, former head of the Kinsey Institute and Kinsey co-
Interviewer: "So, do pedophiles normally go around with stopwatches?"
Dr. Paul Gebhard: "Ah, they do if we tell them we're interested in it!"
Interviewer: "And clearly, [the orgasms of] at least 188 children were timed with a stopwatch, according to...."
Dr. Gebhard: "So, second hand or stopwatch. OK, well, that's, ah, you refreshed my memory. I had no idea that there were that many."
Interviewer: "These experiments by pedophiles on children were presumably illegal."
Dr. Gebhard: "Oh yes."[10]
Molesting Children in the Name of Science
In Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, Dr. Kinsey reported that the data on the 317
children came from "9 of our adult male subjects."[11] However, Dr. John Bancroft,
current Director of the Kinsey Institute, contradicted this claim. After examining
the data, Dr. Bancroft indicated that the data for Table 31 came from a single adult
male subject.[12] There are a number of other instances where Kinsey's published
claims about numerical or factual data-
Kinsey's "trained observers" tested babies "5 months in age," for repeated orgasms via:
...empirical study and statistical procedures... which resulted in...reported observations
on such specifically sexual activities as erection, pelvic thrust and several other
characteristics of true orgasm in a list of 317 pre-
Orgasm was defined as follows:
Extreme tension with violent convulsions: ...sudden heaving and jerking of the whole body... gasping... hands grasping, mouth distorted, sometimes with tongue protruding; whole body or parts of it spasmodically twitching...violent jerking of the penis...groaning, sobbing, or more violent cries, sometimes with an abundance of tears (especially among younger children).... hysterical laughing, talking, sadistic or masochistic reactions... extreme trembling, collapse, loss of color, and sometimes fainting of subject.... some...suffer excruciating pain and may scream ...if the penis is even touched....some...before the arrival of orgasm, will fight away from the partner and may make violent attempts to avoid climax although they derive definite pleasure from the situation.[19]
Lester Caplan, M.D., Diplomate, the American Board of Pediatrics, reviewing Kinsey's
Chapter 5 (as above) said, "One person could not do this to so many children-
Child interviews were unusually long. Kinsey said after two hours, "the [adult] becomes
fatigued and the quality of the record drops."[22] Still, Kinsey reported 24-
Dr. Kinsey even reported that some observers "induced...erections [in the children]...over periods of months or years,"[26] but that the Kinsey team interviewed no "psychotics who were handicapped with poor memories, hallucination, or fantasies that distorted the fact."[27]
What kind of men were they, this Kinsey team? The question remains: Who did these experiments? As noted, the Kinsey team reported on a cadre of "trained observers." In Kinsey's own words...
Better data came from adult males who have had sexual contacts with younger boys
and who, with their adult backgrounds, are able to recognize and interpret the boys'
experiences. Unfortunately ....[only] 9 of our adult male subjects have observed
such orgasm. Some of these adults are technically trained persons who have kept diaries
or other records which have been put at our disposal....on 317 pre-
There are serious questions which must be answered by the Kinsey Institute directors-
Further, Dr. Gebhard claimed in a letter to me, that they did no follow-
H.R. 2749, the Child Protection and Ethics in Education Act of 1995, is a bill to
determine if Kinsey's two principal books on human sexual behavior "are the result
of any fraud or criminal wrongdoing." Clearly a useful step would be the gathering
of facts on the work of Kinsey and his colleagues and a public disclosure of these
facts in a responsible fashion. The U.S. Congress is in a strong position to carry
out this kind of fact-
Did Kinsey and his colleagues behave in an ethical fashion in the way they collected and published data from human subjects, especially children?
Apart from the ethical considerations, did they analyze and publish their data correctly from the scientific point of view?
Were federal funds solicited, used, and accounted for appropriately?
Do the answers to the preceding three questions indicate any violations of federal law?
If the information collected and published by Kinsey proves, on examination, to be badly flawed or to involve fraud or criminal wrongdoing, what are the implications for the use of this information in science, education, law and public policy? Specifically, to what extent should the federal government[33] fund or recall the dissemination and use of this information?
Kinsey's Figures on Homosexuality
With the above in mind, it is shocking that, almost overnight, following release
of Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (and a succession of earlier private,
public relations briefings at the Kinsey Institute for favorable interviewers), books,
articles, films, news clips, cartoons, radio, TV, and front-
However, without question, any "scientists" who reprint and encourage production
of data on child sexuality which have been taken from child sex offenders engaged
in "manual or oral" sex with babies and children, are not scientists but propagandists-
Kinsey fathered not only the sexual revolution, as Hugh Hefner and others have said,
but the homosexual revolution as well. Harry Hay gave Kinsey that credit when Hay
read in 1948 that Kinsey found "10%" of the male population homosexual. Following
the successful path of the Black Civil Rights movement, Hay, a long-
But 26% (1,400) of Kinsey's alleged 5,300 white male subjects were already "sex offenders."[34]
As far as the data can be established, an additional 25% were incarcerated prisoners;
some numbers were big city "pimps," "hold-
Following the release of Kinsey, Sex and Fraud,[36] the then Kinsey Institute Director,
Dr. June Reinisch, initiated a "CONFIDENTIAL," international, 87-
Further, with regard to sampling and the generalizability of the findings to a broader portion of Americans, throughout both volumes Kinsey very clearly identifies exactly which data from which groups he is referring to when drawing conclusions. He never used data from the special samples, derived from such populations as the gay community or prisons, to generalize to the general public.[37]
Unfortunately, Dr. Gebhard wrote back to Reinisch on December 6, 1990 that she was wrong and that Kinsey did use "the gay community," pedophiles and prisoners to generalize to the population at large. Gebhard writes:
In your recent letter of December 3, which I gather was sent to a number of individuals as well as me, you refuted Judith Reisman's allegations about Kinsey and the Institute. However, I fear that your final paragraph on page 1 may embarrass you and the university if it comes to Reisman's attention. Hence I want to warn you and relevant university officials so that some damage control might be devised. The paragraph ends with this sentence: "He never used data from the special samples, derived from such populations as the gay community or prisons, to generalize to the general public." This statement is incorrect. Kinsey did mix male prison inmates in with his sample used in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male....
As to generalizing to a wider population, in his first volume Kinsey did generalize to the entire U.S. population. See, for one example, the tables on page 188 and 220 where he clearly extrapolates to the U.S.....
I am distressed that neither you nor your staff seem to be familiar with Kinsey's first book nor with The Kinsey Data and consequently produced the erroneous statement in your letter.[38]
Conclusion
Kinsey is a powerful example of one's personal orientation affecting one's science and the moral shape of society. What could be the motive of Kinsey's fraudulent data, which often found up to even half of average American males homosexual? Quite possibly, it amounts to Kinsey's wishful thinking, which he quantified in order to recreate others in his own distorted image. Was Kinsey himself a closet homosexual, pedophile or pederast?
In the past, science fraud has taken place for economic and political reasons-
No matter what Kinsey's own sexual orientation, scientists and laypersons alike must
acknowledge that he engineered a study of child sexuality which was unthinkable.
The Kinsey Institute's data on child orgasms are, at best, a human concoction or,
at worst, the results of child molestation. In either case, the Kinsey Institute
is guilty of criminal activity and their findings on all subjects are suspect and
misleading. Too, science must be re-
The control of sexuality information has for too long been in the hands of the Kinsey
elite-
No matter what Kinsey's own sexual proclivities and biases, after WWII Kinsey began
to move in concert with a cadre of revisionist educators, lawyers and other professionals
who determined with their sponsors to forever alter the American way of life through
its educational system (the future) and the legal system (the standard of judgment).
Prior to the Kinsey Reports, American law held that not only were sodomy, adultery,
fornication and the like transgressions, those who committed such acts were themselves
unacceptable. Post-
In the upheaval of the post-
Kinsey lives and reigns today in classrooms across America. The Ten Commandments
may be out of our classrooms, but the Kinseyan-
.
Kinsey sold his soul to win his place in time, but now is the time to take back America's soul which has been led astray by fraudulent and criminal science. It is soon fifty years since Kinsey foisted his hoax upon a trusting and moral American people. The American standard was right all along. Let's pull the curtain back and call for a proper investigation of Kinsey's fraudulent investigation into human sexuality. Write and call your political representatives now to begin the debunking and defunding of Kinsey and truth will restore social virtue once again to our nation.
Author's note: Since the establishment media has largely censored this information,
if you have or desire any information on Kinsey, the use of his materials, or his
role in your life or the lives of others, kindly call the 800 number listed. Kinsey,
