In his book Sexual Behavior in Human Womenthe so-called “Father of the Sexual Revolution,” Alfred Kinsey, said:

Of course, there are cases of adults who have done physical harm to children with whom they tried to have sex… But these cases are in the minority and the public must learn to recognize such serious contact with others adult interactions that are unlikely to do the child any significant harm if the child’s parents are not disturbed.[1]

Kinsey’s sexual obsessions and strange personal habits were explored in the first part of this series, and the second part examined the ways in which his research project and books on human sexuality were methodologically flawed.

But the most troubling aspect of Kinsey’s two reports – “Sexual Behavior in Male Humans” and “Sexual Behavior in Human Women” – remember the ways in which they affected children… both directly, through the abuse they condoned and encouraged, and indirectly, through their effects on modern sex education.

Kinsey used so-called ‘data’ collected by predatory pedophiles to support his predetermined conclusion that humans are sexual from birth. In the Yorkshire Television documentary “Kinsey’s Pedophiles,” both authorized Kinsey biographer Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy and Kinsey co-author Paul Gebhard told interviewers that the point of Kinsey’s books is to convince the public that people are sexual from birth.

Predatory pedophiles – with Kinsey’s blessings and encouragement – kept detailed diaries of their crimes, timing their abuses of children as young as stopwatches (in sessions lasting up to 24 hours in some cases), and relayed all their “observations” to Kinsey, who in turn presented this information as science in his “man” and “woman” volumes.[2]

VIOLENCE AS “SCIENCE”

Chapter 5 of “Sexual Behavior in Male Humans” presented a detailed discussion of boys’ childhood sexuality, and, according to Kinsey biographer James H. Jones, “much of this chapter is based on materials [pedophiles] presented.”[3] Jones continued, “[T]his text and charts suggested that infants under one year of age were stimulated [read: ‘molested’] and observed for as long as an hour at a stretch; four years old in twenty-four hours.”[4]

In “Kinsey’s Pedophiles,” says Jones: “Kinsey … gives beautiful graphic descriptions of [children’s] response[s] in what he called sexual stimulation. If you read those words, he’s talking about children who are screaming, children who are protesting in every way they can the fact that their bodies … are being violated.”

But Kinsey referred to children’s expressions of pain and struggle as “orgasms.” In particular, he refers to “violent convulsions,” “violent movements of the arms and legs,” “crying,” “sobbing, or more violent crying, sometimes with many tears (especially in younger ones),” “fighting.[ing],” “severe tremors, collapse, discoloration, and sometimes fainting” as evidence of orgasm.[5] “[S]ome … suffer intense pain and may scream” in what is called an orgasm, according to Kinsey.[6]

“The children panting, sobbing, screaming in pain, fainting, and desperately struggling to fight off the assailants whom Kinsey hails as ‘partners’ – these are descriptions of the pitiful victims,” Jones wrote.[7] But Kinsey insists that “adult men who have had sex with younger men … identify with and interpret the experiences of men.”[8]

However, one critic stated what should be obvious: “Looking to sexual abusers for information about childhood sexuality is like drawing conclusions about the sexuality of adult women from the testimony of rapists.”[9]

Kinsey Institute fellow John Gagnon says “A less neutral observer than Kinsey might have described these events as sex crimes[.]”[10]

“TRAINED OBSERVERS”

It is worth discussing the identities and actions of predatory pedophiles that Kinsey characterizes as “trained observers.” Two became known to the public.

The first, Rex King, “molested at least 800 men and women, recording the details in frank handwritten diaries” for at least 20 years; the so-called data in the infamous tables 31 and 33 in “man” volume comes from these diaries, according in Yorkshire Television documentaries. According to Jones, King also had sex with 17 of the 33 relatives he spoke with, including his father and grandmother.[11]

“Kinsey treats [King] like a colleague, a fellow truth-seeker who gathered valuable scientific data,” Jones wrote.[12] Kinsey views King as “a hero,” according to Kinsey associate Vincent Nowlis, because “the guy ha[d] the courage and the wit and the sexual energy and the curiosity to have this amazing multi-year odyssey through the Southwest and never get caught.”[13]

Kinsey’s letters to King expressed both flattery and outright approval; in one, Kinsey told King that “Everything you save must go into scientific channels,” an outcome that Kinsey personally ensured.[14]

“Betraying a huge moral blind spot,” Jones wrote, “Kinsey took the records of [King’s] criminal acts and manufactured scientific data.”[15]

Another of Kinsey’s “trained observers” was Dr. Fritz von Balluseck. According to in the Yorkshire Television documentaries, von Balluseck was the Nazi commandant of the small town of Jedrzejow in Poland from 1942-44. There, he targeted children for sexual assault, making them “choose between [him] and the gas oven,” according to the German newspaper “Der Morgenpost.”[16]

Von Balluseck was tried in Berlin in 1957 for a child sex murder. His diaries, which documented in gruesome detail his violations of countless children and shared with Kinsey, were found during the trial. The presiding judge, Heinrich Berger, commenting on the contents of these volumes, at one point exclaimed, “This is no longer human! What is all this for? To tell Kinsey?”[17]

Von Balluseck indeed “named the so-called sexual psychologist Kinsey” as a “role model for his evil actions,” and said that “Kinsey himself” asked him to collect “data” and report back , according to the German press.[18]

Judge Berger noted that “Instead of answering his infamous letters, the strange American scholar should see to it that Mr. von Balluseck is put behind bars.”[19] But Kinsey refused to cooperate in the investigation and prosecution of von Balluseck,[20] and even warned von Balluseck to “take care” in one of his letters.[21]

WHITEWASHING CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN

Kinsey described pedophiles as “partners” of their child victims, and described molestation and rape as “contacts” and “play.” These terms imply acceptance and whitewashing of the trauma suffered by sexual abuse.

Jones wrote:

Hoping to counter the public image of pedophiles as predatory monsters, [Kinsey] tried to put child molesters in a favorable light. Blaming the victims, Kinsey reports that in many incest situations children often initiate further relationships after the initial incident, and he notes that sexual relations between children and adults who are not members of family ‘often involves great love.’ …

And while he admits that ‘about 80 percent of children are emotionally disturbed or frightened by their interactions with adults,’ he likens the level of their fear to how young people typically react to ‘insects. , spiders, or other things against them. badly conditioned.’

‘If a child is not culturally conditioned,’ he observed, ‘it is doubtful that it will be disturbed by intercourse.[.]’ … His definition of harming young women … is exclusionary[d] ‘few cases of vaginal bleeding,’ which, he insisted, ‘do not appear to have done any significant harm.’ [22]

Jones says that Kinsey’s hatred of traditional morality led him to “take a positive view of child abuse and incest.”[23] Kinsey was indeed “blind to the coercion inherent in any intercourse between an adult and a child.”[24]

AN INSIDIOUS LEGACY

Kinsey’s ideas about the alleged sexuality of children have, sadly, infected our contemporary culture, especially in the area of sex education. This was part of Kinsey’s plan. According to Jones, “Kinsey sensed an opportunity to use sex education to advance his private war against traditional morality. … He was eager to transform his hidden war against Victorian morality into an acceptable public crusade in society.”[25]

By all appearances, Kinsey succeeded in that goal, as will be discussed in the next installment of this series.
