Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Sexual Behavior in the Human Male

Book Review: A CLASSIC Read
Summary: 5 Stars

By actually reading the book many histrionic notions about Kinsey's work are exposed as just that. But there's more. I especially enjoyed the stats that show excessively pious people overrepresented among those practicing beastiality, and Kinsey's unintentionally droll interpretation.

But more importantly Kinsey is committed to framing sexual aberrations in a social context. I'm sure it was a great comfort to many at the time it was written, as it must still be now. Rather than viewing the individual as twisting in the wind of his own personal sins, Kinsey provides perspective via a sexual continuum which draws the individual back into the human family to which he belongs.

If you really want to know about Kinsey, read this book, not just the widely published Bible-banging protests which the first two reviews reflect.
