The most famous and widely used Kinseyan concept is the notion of the sexual outlets. This notion subscribes to the principle that there are six possible forms of sexual release, which are the following from the male perspective: masturbation, nocturnal emissions, heterosexual petting, heterosexual intercourse, homosexual relations, and intercourse with animals of other species. (3)

Since all of these constitute sexual release, they are all equally acceptable and normal, according to Kinsey. In reference to sexual release, there is the concept that bisexuality is the most balanced of all sexual orientations, because it includes both heterosexual and homosexual activity. In Kinsey's own words, "biologically there is no form of outlet which I will admit as abnormal". (4) The problem, according to him, is that society was conditioned through traditional modes of thought to believe that heterosexual activity within marriage, especially, is both correct and the healthiest means of sexual expression. Kinsey strictly believed that all forms are healthy and that if any one form is abnormal and lesser, it is heterosexual intercourse. (5)

Pedophilia Promoted!

Up to now, many of us have been exposed to the aforementioned Kinseyan theories on human sexuality. However, the most worrisome of his concepts is that which clearly justifies pedophiliac activity. Kinsey believed that children were predisposed for sexual activity from the moment of birth and that adult-child sexual activity was included under the notion of sexual outlet. Again society had conditioned it as taboo, when it is actually a "normal" sexual behavior that should be practiced as well as pursued, Kinsey believed. He maintained that when done under circumstances where the adult genuinely cares for the child as would a loving parent or relative, sex between an adult and a child could prove to be a healthy experience for the child. The results are unfavorable, Kinsey said, only when the child is conditioned by police authorities and parents that such behavior is immoral and incorrect. (6)

How does a scientist go about collecting evidence for such theories? We would all like to believe that both ethical and scientifically sound research methods would be employed. Kinsey claimed that he wanted to conduct research that would be representative of American society. However, Kinsey's work and research on human sexuality was manipulated so that its results would be indicative of what he himself believed, without any real and tangible scientific support. What was Kinsey's motivation? Well, according to Paul Robinson, one of Kinsey's biographers, Kinsey's work was designed to "undermine the traditional sexual order". (7) Kinsey was surely motivated to change society's perception of human sexuality by a disgust towards the Judeo-Christian tradition. "Kinsey knew a great deal about the Judeo-Christian tradition, and he was indignant about what it had done to our culture," says Pomeroy. Kinsey had his own amoral agenda and hoped to use his research as the scientific base to "change society's traditional moral values". (8) These charges of scientific fraud and corruption are definitely grave, but certainly not without grounds. You be the judge!

Alfred Kinsey's research included two main parts: he used data from the "sex histories" of about 18,000 persons and directed experimental sex research on several hundred children aged 2 months to almost 15 years of age. The information from the "sex histories" was not only manipulated, but most of his interviewees were not representative of society, because they were deliberately chosen (others volunteered), for their sexual deviancy. Though Kinsey wanted to document and expose what society was doing sexually, he only concentrated on one section of society - the deviant. A great number of the 5,300 male interviewees were rapists, pedophiles and exhibitionists, while about 25% of them had a sex-offender history, had been in prison or where in prison at the time. (9) Many of those who volunteered were also biased in favor of the "sexually unconventional".

Kinsey himself and his team also observed and took notes on several filmed "experiments" that dealt with various kinds of deviant behavior, especially sex acts between homosexual males. (10) The experimental research on several hundred children consisted of the molestation of these children by a group of nine persons. Some were "technically trained" and in reality acted like pedophiles. It is reported that some were indeed already pedophiles because not all had to be trained. In Kinsey's Male Report (1948) it is reported that the children reacted to the oral and manual stimulation by these nine adults in various ways. [ - edit -B ](11) This was all done in order to supposedly demonstrate that children are sexual beings and can enjoy sexual pleasure as well as any adult. Kinsey sought to use these results to indicate that children are indeed able to engage in and benefit from sexual activity. There was no documentation as to who were those children or where they came from. How's that for scientific soundness? However, the relevant issue here is that Kinseyan concepts and perceptions on human sexuality, though deceitful and unscientific, have surfaced in sex education courses. Recently John Bancroft, the present head of the Kinsey Institute, had said that "one elderly pedophile (who had sex with hundreds of men, women, children and animals) was the source of Kinsey's sex data on children." (12) However, Judith Reisman is skeptical of Bancroft statement. She stated, "If you claim there's only one and he's dead, then you're in a much better position than to admit there were numerous men and some of them aren't dead." (13

Planned Parenthood of America and SEICUS are no strangers to Kinsey's notions of human sexuality. P.P., by far the most prominent, founded by Margaret Sanger, is a model of Kinseyan thought. Kinsey was simply following in the footsteps of Sanger, who once claimed that "the marriage bed is the most degrading influence of the sexual order...a decadent institution, a reactionary development of the sex instinct". (24) SIECUS, under the leadership of Dr. Mary S. Calderone, formerly medical director for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, has also been making continuous strides in relation to sex education for children, based on the Kinseyan philosophy. In 1980, "SEICUS co-founder Dr. Mary Calderone told the Association of Planned Parenthood Physicians, that SEICUS' primary mission was to educate society 'very broadly and deeply with awareness of the vital importance of infant and childhood sexuality'." (25) In other words, sexual relations between adults and children are something that should be sought and promoted. By 1983 Mary Calderone was writing that the child's sexual capacities should "be developed in the same way as the child's inborn human capacity to talk or to walk..." (26) It is amazing how society is now working towards indoctrinating children in matters of sexuality at an early age! Planned Parenthood's Sex Education and Mental Health Report (1979), states that "no religious views, no moral standards, are to deflect the child from the overriding purposes of self-discovery, self-assertion, and self-gratification". Children, especially teenagers, are learning in sex education courses patterned after Kinsey, that all sex is good in and of itself and that it is fun. They are being taught to believe they have the right and that it is for their well-being that they enter into any type of sexual activity at an early age, even with adults. (27)

Many sex educators have joined the bandwagon, without any slight hint of hesitation. It is no wonder that young people are engaging in promiscuous sexual activity, now more than ever, with the resulting rise of venereal diseases, illegitimate pregnancies, abortion, AIDS, etc. It is obviously a cause and effect scenario and our society is clearly reaping the fruits from this type of hedonistic mentality.

What is extremely difficult to believe is that our society seems to be on the verge of accepting pedophilia as an orientation within the sex spectrum. This particular issue is where the ties to Kinsey's research can be fully attested to. In an article, Joan A. Nelson, Ed.D., writes in favor of a model of adult-child sexuality in which sex acts with children are to be viewed as acceptable and even essential to the healthy development of the child. What Dr. Nelson views as the harmful agent is "society's condemnation", rather than the effects of such grotesque and immoral acts on young children. (28) Also, Wardell Pomeroy (Kinsey's colleague) of Planned Parenthood, once stated that "...incest between adults and younger children can also prove to be a satisfying experience. Incestuous relationships can - and do - work out well". (29) This is exactly what Kinsey believed! A variety of materials from Alyson Publications, which consist mostly of pro-homosexual literature, includes a new series of books that attempt to justify pedophilia and respectabilize its perpetrators. "They [NAMBLA] promote children as objects of sexual pleasure, give advise on how to have sex with children without getting caught, provide locations around the world where child prostitutes can be had, and list clubs pedophiles can join..." (30) Now that academic sexology accepts children's "sexual needs" and many strides are being taken by organizations like NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association), in order to legitimize child-adult sex, we can see the acceptance of pedophilia as an orientation on the horizon. It is only a matter of time before we will find other scientists, sex educators, and publishing companies, sympathizing with the pro-pedophilia effort. We owe this largely to the work and effort of Alfred C. Kinsey who also affirmed (without conclusive, scientific evidence) that 10 percent of the population was homosexual. "Kinsey's statistics on the prevalence of homosexuality in society have been grossly in error, which would probably be no surprise to Kinsey - he knew the bias he was building into his research."

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
