The Survey as a Method for Studying Human Sexuality (cont.)

Famous Surveys: The Kinsey Reports Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953) The 2004 film Kinsey (photo right) reintroduced the world to the life and work of pioneering sex survey researcher, Alfred Kinsey seated in the real-life photo (left). Although we must always be cautious about interpreting Hollywood’s version of historical events, Kinsey provides a fascinating glimpse into one of the most influential figures in the history of sexuality research. In the late 1940s and early 1950s when Kinsey was gathering his data about the sexual behavior of men and women in the United States, attitudes about sex were generally quite restrictive. A scene in the film shows government agents seizing a package of Kinsey’s research materials, claiming they were “obscene.” Not only did Kinsey pioneer the survey method of sexuality research, but he did so with conviction—some might say courage—in the highly non-supportive social and political environment of the time.
