Since being called Prok (Professor Kinsey) by students in school, Dr. Kinsey has had this nickname for his life. He initially studied gall bees, and later specialized in sexology, publishing two monographs on "Human Male Sexuality" and "Human Female Sexuality". His theories are as mentioned in the movie: 6 ways for men to achieve sexual desire, homosexuality studies, etc., both at that time and now are being fiercely debated. Perhaps accepting these theories can allow humans to face themselves more naturally, which may cause the whole world. Social panic, but what is certain is that it will inevitably impact or even subvert the moral system at that time and now. He regards humans as the same research object as the gall wasp, and conducts research as a kind of animal. His conclusions are supported by enough data to be scientific, but this kind of science is difficult to be effectively used like the Pythagorean theorem, because of science. In addition, there are human emotions and moral constraints.

The contradiction between science and emotion is centered on Kinsey and his father, wife Mike, and colleague Martin. As a preacher's father, Kinsey was repressed in his childhood, and Kinsey finally broke out and embarked on an ideal biological research path. His wife is his student and assistant in his career. Martin, who is also a student and assistant, made Kinsey discover his homosexuality and expand the field of research. In the name of science, he agreed that Mike and Martin had a relationship, but the problem of love and sex puzzled him. When his father accepted Kinsey’s sexual investigation, he untied the knots that had been caused by sexual repression when he was a child. Martin doubted the research because the relationship between his wife and his colleagues was uncontrollable. Kinsey believed that they did not maintain scientific research. Attitude, and under the impact of losing research funds and suffering from disease, in the peaceful forest at the end of the film, he confronts Mike and realizes that sex is nothing in front of emotions.

Describing such a scientist, it is undoubtedly the safest to solve all problems in the name of scientific research. The editor and director are using this banner to cover up some more sensitive issues. For the important person Martin, the relationship with Kinsey was set from the beginning to attract the same sex. The two-person relationship established from the scenes of classroom lectures, garden work, and joint scientific research has made enough feelings for the explosion of passion. As a foreshadowing, Kinsey undoubtedly has a homosexual tendency. The long passage in which he used the Bible to suppress himself by the lake in his childhood has been too obvious to suggest, and for Martin, Kinsey has same-sex affection. But after this passage is over, and after Kinsey’s homosexuality is explained, the relationship between the two has completely returned to the working relationship, and the repeatedly reiterated scientific research position and the touching ending make Kinsey return to the traditional ethics. While the ending of love over sex is moving and embarrassing, Kinsey himself is gay/bisexual and his important theory of diversity has been completely forgotten.

Despite sufficient arguments, Kinsey's research is still controversial. Although several Kinsey's sexual theories are stated in the movie, it is ultimately attributed to the warmth of Hollywood drama. Kinsey wants to let people know the self and the world through his sexology report in the book.
