      some small feelings

      Superb think the first half is especially good
      1 Every animal is different;
        you should throw away your stereotypes. Instead of doubting himself, Professor Kinsey pointed out that the other party was wrong, proving that he had confidence.
      2 After Professor Kinsey found that he and his wife could not bond, he realized that he should ask relevant experts. He said: Any problem has a solution, and this is the same. We just have to ask the experts who study this. It is true that not...

      statistician

      When I was researching the film "Kinsey Professor of Sexology"
      , I even found several translated subtitles. Obviously, some translations could not accept the original words and tried to "pretend". This made me see the value of the film even more. and a question for subtitle research. Watching a movie, no matter how careful and serious it is, is nothing but a passing glance. The study of subtitles directly touches the art body, the creator itself. (Main character Fred Kinsey, Clara...

      Film review "Kinsey Professor of Sexology"

      I found this film by chance from Tencent Video, and I was very happy after watching it. It is a film that reflects the changes in people's attitudes towards sex. The film uses an interview with Professor Kinsey himself as a clue, recalling Professor Kinsey's exploration of sexuality in his life. Whether it's his own, or his wife, assistant, father, people around him, all did interviews. Mr. Kinsey's attitude towards sex is scientific, and he is not bound by ignorant traditional concepts,...

      Even if it is scientific research, can we bear the consequences?

      It's an amazing thing to study human sexuality with the scientific method of measurement, but the development of the story, Kinsey sleeping with assistants, and the extremely open relationship between assistants and wives really took me by surprise. Not all sex must be bound by love, but beyond a certain limit, you will unconsciously want to go beyond the sexual relationship, hoping to possess more of the other's love. I haven't read the original book. From the movie alone, some plots make me...

      My jaw almost dropped when the professor kissed the little TA

      Although I know some of Kinsey's writings and life, I really didn't expect him to be a practitioner of same-sex sexuality.
      Yes, gender identity, sexual orientation, is fluid, it is changing, it is indeterminate.

      When scientists become more serious, anything can become a research object, and the more they come into contact with, the more in-depth understanding, and their ideas will change with the understanding of "social norm".
      For example, everyone is very concerned about...

      So many familiar actors! Lincoln! Truman! The male protagonist looks like Fiennes! There are some thought-provoking sayings, for example, humans converge because of cowardice. For example, everyone's sin is not anyone's sin. For example, F***ing is not something but...

    The film reproduces the ups and downs of Kinsey's research process, and at the same time portrays the strangeness and fear of sex in mainstream American society. (Comment by "Global Times") 
    The film calms the stimulating and even sensitive subject of "sex". The picture in the film is beautiful, the soundtrack is melodious, and the depiction of love is a rare film. Liam Neeson’s performance added to the film’s authenticity. When Neeson...

    Movie quotes

    • Alfred Kinsey: Why offer a marriage course? Because society has interfered with what should be a normal biological development, causing a scandalous delay of sexual activity, which leads to sexual difficulty in early marriage. In an uninhibited society, a 12 year old would know most of the biology which I will have to give you in formal lectures.

    • Alfred Kinsey: Stimulation, lubrication, erection, increased sensitivity, orgasm, and nervous release. Both sexes experience all six stages equally.

    • Alfred Kinsey: Is my penis smaller than most? Does too much masturbation cause premature ejaculation? Is it unusual for my boyfriend to touch my anus? All excellent questions. They all have the same answer: I don't know. From a sexual standpoint it's hard to say what's common or rare; because, we know so little about what people actually do. This leaves most of us feeling anxious or guilty. Am I interested in the right things? Do I do things the normal way? One of the ways of finding out what people do, is to find out what they've done. So, please, take the time to fill out these sex questionnaires. Try to be as accurate and honest as you possibly can.
