It was the first time I learned about Kinsey in the introduction of the textbook "Sexual Medicine", and then I looked for a movie to watch. The book said that he published "Human Male Sexual Behavior" and "Human Female Sexual Behavior" in 1948 and 1953, respectively, and it was hailed as the first milestone in modern sexology.
At that time, the United States was still a very conservative country. Adultery was regarded as a crime. Homosexuality would be punished. Not only that, it also prohibited the spread of contraceptive information and nightclubs. Kinsey’s research was shocking at the time and had far-reaching impact.
There were two bullet screens when I was watching the movie that impressed me deeply. One is for "research data" or something else. One of Jinsai’s assistants had a relationship with the wife of another assistant. The barrage said that “only concerns the biological characteristics of human beings, ignoring social attributes”, and the other is the ending gold. Sai confessed to his wife in the woods, and the barrage said that "marriage and social morality are like the root of a tree, which restricts sexual freedom, but it also makes people and society more vigorous." In most of his life's research, Kinsey has been emphasizing that rationality is not mixed with emotions, so after trying with his assistant, he can tell his wife without any disturbance that he will be puzzled and helpless even after the assistant has happened. I found that many scientists who have made unprecedented contributions are a bit insane and not alive. It may be because they are unprecedented, and their achievements have far-reaching impact. At the same time, they are more likely to make "radical" mistakes without "learning from the past". Not everyone does it. Can be as rational as Kinsey, and how can true sex be completely separated from love, as the assistant said, sex, no, fucking.
Kinsey’s research results are undoubtedly a huge contribution. In addition to his academic contributions (the Kinsey Institute of Sexology in the United States has kept the earliest investigation and research materials of him and his colleagues), he liberated the minds of many people and let some people know that they are. It's not special, it's not that being sick is not an unforgivable sin, but while emancipating the mind, the moral code should be kept in mind, because in addition to sex or fucking, there are love, marriage, and responsibility. These are much more complicated.
