Click Here For Kinsey Again

The New Yorker: The Talk of the Town: "'Dr. Kinsey's most egregious fraud is that he wasn't a scientist,' Reisman said the other day. 'He was an ideologue who was most importantly a sex offender at best, and, beyond being a sex offender, he was certainly a child sexual abuser and/or solicitor and guide in the perpetration of that abuse.' At the root of this accusation is an interview that Kinsey conducted with a sexual predator who kept detailed records of his activities with hundreds of women, men, and children.

But it is not simply Kinsey's neutrality toward such people that upsets Reisman. She claims that Kinsey actively solicited pedophiles to molest children and report back to him. In fact, she said, 'there is absolutely no reason to believe that Kinsey himself was not involved in the sexual abuse of these children.' (None of Kinsey's four biographers have turned up any evidence that he was.) Reisman also believes that Kinsey died not from heart failure but from what she calls 'brutal, repetitive self-abuse."
