00:00:27 [Man #1]
00:00:29 - Anything that creates
00:00:37 And try not to frown.
00:00:39 - I'm sorry. Was I frowning?
00:00:42 How can I be expected to open up
00:00:45 - Right.
00:00:47 Start again.
00:00:49 [Inhales]
00:00:51 As you can see, this piece of paper
00:00:54 There are 287 of them.
00:00:56 Your sex history will fit
00:01:00 Don't forget to mention that
00:01:03 The interview subject
00:01:05 if he knows he's speaking
00:01:10 Right. Okay.
00:01:14 So, when were you born?
00:01:16 June 23, 1894.
00:01:20 Are you single or married?
00:01:22 Married.
00:01:24 - What is your race?
00:01:27 - Fill it in yourself.
00:01:30 - Methodist.
00:01:33 Not at all now,
00:01:37 How did you get along with your father
00:01:40 That's a multiple question.
00:01:42 It allows me to ignore any part
00:01:45 - How did you get along with your mother?
00:01:49 - We had a close relationship.
00:01:54 - How did you get along with your father?
00:02:02 [Man]
00:02:06 We turn away
00:02:09 and we turn to things...
00:02:12 of the spirit.
00:02:17 Lust...
00:02:19 has a thousand avenues...
00:02:22 the dance hall,
00:02:25 the tenement saloon...
00:02:27 the Turkish bath.
00:02:30 Like the Hydra...
00:02:32 it grows new heads everywhere.
00:02:41 Even the modern inventions
00:02:44 are used to cultivate immorality.
00:02:49 The gas engine...
00:02:52 has brought us
00:02:55 and an even more
00:02:58 the roadside brothel.
00:03:02 Electricity...
00:03:04 has made possible
00:03:07 Because of the telephone...
00:03:09 a young woman...
00:03:11 can hear the voice of her suitor...
00:03:15 on the pillow, right next to her.
00:03:18 [Baby Coos]
00:03:20 And let's not forget
00:03:24 the talon-slide fastener...
00:03:26 otherwise known as the zipper...
00:03:29 which provides every man and boy
00:03:34 to moral oblivion.
00:03:36 [Man]
00:03:38 I suppose so. Mm-hmm.
00:03:41 What makes you doubtful?
00:03:43 Every doctor I've ever seen.
00:03:45 Early disease left me
00:03:47 Did you have any illnesses
00:03:50 I had typhoid fever and rickets.
00:03:53 Also rheumatic fever.
00:03:55 Measles, chicken pox, pneumonia...
00:03:58 and several bouts of influenza.
00:04:04 [Clears Throat]
00:04:07 You're worse than Martin.
00:04:09 Never make judgments about people.
00:04:11 I wasn't.
00:04:12 Your body posture told me that my list
00:04:19 Maybe it did. Sorry.
00:04:22 Maintaining
00:04:24 is harder than you think.
00:04:26 The best way is to smile,
00:04:29 while looking me directly in the eye.
00:04:33 Where were we?
00:04:35 Your health as a boy.
00:04:37 It improved greatly when I
00:04:42 I never got over the excitement
00:04:45 escaping bed, illness, family.
00:04:49 Alone?
00:04:51 [Bird Calling]
00:04:54 No. No. Never alone.
00:04:58 I was surrounded by friends.
00:05:03 Being in the outdoors taught me
00:05:10 [Bird Screeches]
00:05:16 I started to learn about things
00:05:19 tasting them, looking at them.
00:05:22 - Biology?
00:05:24 Biology.
00:05:26 The science oflife.
00:05:29 The fields and woods became
00:05:32 my cathedral.
00:05:39 The only sadness they brought
00:05:47 How old were you when you first
00:05:50 [Sighs]
00:05:53 If you're talking
00:05:55 use "masturbation,"
00:05:58 "vagina," "vulva,"
00:06:00 With the lower-level male,
00:06:03 "prick," "cunt," "piss," "shit."
00:06:05 [Sighs]
00:06:07 I don't know, Gebhard. Maybe your Harvard
00:06:11 I was brought up out west.
00:06:13 I've rubbed shoulders
00:06:16 - And I thought you were
00:06:19 It's a disguise, a cover-up.
00:06:21 Look at any movie. The villain's
00:06:24 My wife likes it.
00:06:26 You have a chance to make an important
00:06:30 Are you telling me you'd give that up
00:06:33 Yes, I suppose I am.
00:06:39 Ah.
00:06:41 Well, keep it trimmed.
00:06:45 Let's get back to masturbation.
00:06:49 - [Bird Cooing]
00:06:52 [Cooing Continues]
00:06:58 So, how'd you wind up
00:07:01 I thought you wanted
00:07:04 There are enough scientists
00:07:07 Engineers
00:07:15 I, um...
00:07:20 I tried to stop it.
00:07:34 "Any habit which causes the sex fluid
00:07:40 "Doctors link it to
00:07:43 "including insanity,
00:07:49 even death."
00:07:51 What if it happens
00:07:56 "It is said that the loss of one ounce
00:07:59 equals the loss of 40 ounces of blood."
00:08:02 I'm killing myself,
00:08:05 What are we supposed to do?
00:08:10 "Keep your bowels open...
00:08:13 "read the Sermon on the Mount...
00:08:15 "sit with your testicles submerged
00:08:18 [Exhales]
00:08:20 Think of your mother's pure love."
00:08:25 Why don't we pray.
00:08:45 [Moaning]
00:09:07 - [Kinsey] Come on. Keep firing questions.
00:09:07 - [Kinsey] Come on. Keep firing questions.
00:09:10 Extreme rapidity makes it
00:09:13 How young were you the first time
00:09:16 - How frequently did you have wet dreams?
00:09:19 How young were you when you first
00:09:22 - Necking?
00:09:24 How young were you when you no longer
00:09:28 [Kinsey Sr.]
00:09:34 - Al.!
00:09:53 Pack of Fatimas.
00:09:55 Okay, son. That'll be 15 cents.
00:10:03 You're a criminal, sir. I shall report you
00:10:06 DearJesus,
00:10:08 - Did you not sell this vile weed to a minor?
00:10:12 It is the Lord's work to protect
00:10:16 - Men like you, sir, men of weak character...
00:10:20 - I've given you proper warning.
00:10:24 Shut up! You know
00:10:28 - Al.
00:10:32 You think you matter?
00:10:34 There's something wrong with him.
00:10:37 - Come on, Al.
00:10:43 Maybe your workload is too heavy.
00:10:46 You could drop mechanical drawing.
00:10:47 I've withdrawn from Stevens.
00:10:50 That's impossible.
00:10:52 I'm a senior member of the faculty.
00:10:55 Why? Everyone there hates you.
00:10:57 I'm going to Bowdoin to study biology.
00:11:06 And how do you intend to pay for that?
00:11:09 They've given me a partial scholarship.
00:11:11 And I've socked away
00:11:16 You've become a shady person, Al...
00:11:18 a person who keeps secrets.
00:11:20 I had no choice.
00:11:24 What a disappointment
00:11:29 - [Pomeroy] How many years
00:11:33 After taking my undergraduate degree
00:11:35 I received my doctorate
00:11:38 I took a position
00:11:41 here at Indiana University.
00:11:43 At first I studied
00:11:46 or stag beetle.
00:11:47 Then I discovered
00:11:51 [Kinsey] This is the American Cynipidae,
00:11:57 Here the wasp deposits an egg...
00:11:58 into its host plant.
00:12:00 In this case, an oak tree.
00:12:04 The adult wasp chews its way
00:12:07 and copulates.
00:12:10 At which point
00:12:14 The animal kingdom includes...
00:12:16 at least two million insect species.
00:12:20 So, what makes the gall wasp
00:12:24 I've spent the last three years...
00:12:27 crisscrossing the continent,
00:12:30 And what have I learned from my tiny friends,
00:12:33 [Whispers]
00:12:35 - Shh!
00:12:38 After studying thousands of these pesky
00:12:42 I've yet to find a single gall wasp
00:12:46 In fact, some are so different...
00:12:48 that the offspring of one generation...
00:12:51 bear no more resemblance to their parents
00:12:55 There are those of us who might
00:13:02 Consider the implications.
00:13:05 If every single living thing is different
00:13:10 then diversity becomes
00:13:14 Only variations are real.
00:13:16 And to see them...
00:13:18 you simply have to open your eyes.
00:13:23 - [Chattering, Laughing]
00:13:39 Hello. Mind if I sit here?
00:13:41 [Blowing]
00:13:43 Why?
00:13:45 Because you're
00:13:47 and I'm the only unattached female.
00:13:50 That's very sensible.
00:13:54 A man who cooks. How refreshing.
00:13:57 I picked it up when I went out west
00:14:00 I was gone for 11 months, and I don't think I
00:14:04 - Sounds lonely.
00:14:07 I enjoyed it.
00:14:10 I've been reading up on gall wasps.
00:14:12 - I think I know why they appeal to you.
00:14:15 They have great big wings,
00:14:18 They are incapable of getting
00:14:22 unless it's close enough to walk...
00:14:24 which means it's possible...
00:14:26 to retrace each generation's steps,
00:14:29 by hill by hill...
00:14:31 all the way back
00:14:34 The gall wasp Garden of Eden.
00:14:37 That's very interesting, Miss Millen.
00:14:39 You've managed to bridge the gap between Darwin
00:14:44 - McMillen.
00:14:46 - Clara McMillen.
00:14:48 I'm Prok.
00:14:50 - Sorry?
00:14:54 Pro... fessor K... insey. Prok.
00:14:58 At first I worried that it suggested
00:15:01 between teacher and student...
00:15:03 that could lead to
00:15:05 I think it just means they like you.
00:15:07 Yes. Eventually I realized that.
00:15:14 Um, tomato bisque and sandwiches?
00:15:16 Please.
00:15:19 ##[Piano]
00:15:21 [Gasps]
00:15:23 ## [Continues]
00:15:59 [Clara]
00:16:01 Thanks. They used to be
00:16:04 But then I rearranged them
00:16:07 I find it's more efficient.
00:16:09 Did you ever think about playing professionally?
00:16:12 Oh, please. Thank you.
00:16:14 But, uh, "very good" isn't good enough.
00:16:18 I got you a present.
00:16:22 - Ah!
00:16:26 [Laughs]
00:16:33 Oh.
00:16:35 Oh, how marvelous!
00:16:37 - They're the right size.
00:16:41 Oh!
00:16:44 - Oh! [Laughs]
00:16:58 At what age did you first
00:17:01 I didn't.
00:17:04 - So, at the time of marriage you were a virgin?
00:17:07 Was your spouse also a virgin?
00:17:09 Yes.
00:17:11 When you got married,
00:17:15 Very much.
00:17:18 [Bird Calling]
00:17:20 [Kinsey] I see marriage as a lifetime
00:17:24 You're a brilliant scholar
00:17:27 and a profound respect for nature.
00:17:30 You're a capable hiker and camper
00:17:35 and you're the one girl in a million
00:17:38 To be honest, Prok...
00:17:41 I'm just not sure.
00:17:43 Okay.
00:17:45 - I consider myself a free thinker.
00:17:47 Frankly, I find you a little "churchy."
00:17:49 "Churchy"?
00:17:52 And I've had another proposal.
00:17:56 I'm not saying no. I just need time.
00:18:01 Prok.
00:18:03 I think you're mean!
00:18:05 Mean, heartless and cold!
00:19:13 Astounding.
00:19:35 If you'll have me.
00:19:56 A gall wasp in amber.
00:20:00 - How old is it?
00:20:05 Does Mrs. Kinsey
00:20:07 It's perfect.
00:20:49 - I'm sorry.
00:20:51 l...
00:20:59 How beautiful.
00:21:04 May I?
00:21:29 I'm sorry.
00:21:31 I'm a little nervous.
00:21:34 It's okay. W-We don't have to...
00:21:36 No!
00:21:41 I'm ready.
00:21:45 - [Gasps]
00:21:49 [Cries Out]
00:21:52 [Gasps]
00:22:00 - [Grunting]
00:22:05 [Cries Out, Gasps]
00:22:08 - Forgive me, Mac.
00:22:11 It's just... It hurts too much.
00:22:21 [Exhales]
00:22:28 It's... It's a long drive to my parents'!
00:22:32 We should get some sleep.
00:22:38 Robert's had a 92
00:22:41 a 95 in mathematics...
00:22:44 and a clean 100...
00:22:46 in shop practice.
00:22:48 Huh. That's splendid, Robert.
00:22:51 I was worried that his teachers
00:22:54 due to my senior position...
00:22:56 but they tell me he is
00:22:59 Well, living with the best teacher
00:23:02 Oh, please.
00:23:05 At this rate, he'll finish his degree
00:23:11 Al, tell us what you've
00:23:16 - Well...
00:23:19 She won't be able to follow you.
00:23:27 I'm studying gall wasps, Mom.
00:23:30 I've gathered over 100,000 specimens,
00:23:34 But my aim is...
00:23:36 Ten years ofhigher education, and he's
00:23:45 Prok's also written a biology textbook.
00:23:49 Really?
00:23:51 It's read in colleges across the country.
00:23:54 It's actually a very good read.
00:23:57 So I assume you plan
00:24:02 No, no, I... Don't rush it.
00:24:04 Once you have children, you're
00:24:13 [Clara Giggling]
00:24:15 What?
00:24:19 I don't know what I expected, exactly...
00:24:22 but he's far worse
00:24:25 He is pretty awful, isn't he?
00:24:28 [Giggles]
00:24:30 - "I once read...
00:24:34 "That the decline of the Roman empire...
00:24:37 was the result
00:24:43 - [Snorts]
00:24:45 Shh.
00:24:47 "Some speculate...
00:24:49 "that rampant adultery...
00:24:51 is a possible cause of earthquakes."
00:25:07 I'm sorry you had to witness that.
00:25:09 [Sobbing Quietly]
00:25:12 I think I really fell in love
00:25:18 Seeing you here.
00:25:21 Do you think
00:25:25 I don't know.
00:25:30 I've... I've heard some people...
00:25:33 just don't fit together.
00:25:38 There's no one I'd rather be with.
00:25:42 Physically? I mean...
00:25:47 If only there were some way to know.
00:25:51 That's it, Mac.
00:25:54 Every problem has a solution...
00:25:57 We just need to talk to someone,
00:26:01 What are you doing?
00:26:04 Why waste any more time?
00:26:06 Your hymen shows
00:26:11 Dr. Kinsey,
00:26:14 Excuse me?
00:26:16 When erect, how large is it?
00:26:19 How long from the scrotum?
00:26:25 Here?
00:26:28 Here?
00:26:37 I'm surprised you didn't pass out.
00:26:41 Is there anything we can do?
00:26:43 It's a common-enough problem.
00:26:49 - Sure.
00:26:52 - [Bell Tolling]
00:26:58 - [Clara Gasps]
00:27:01 [Both Moaning]
00:27:07 [Gasping, Panting]
00:27:22 - Oh!
00:27:24 - God. God.
00:27:26 [Martin] What was the maximum number of
00:27:29 in any seven-day period?
00:27:31 I'd say... 20 or so.
00:27:34 At least three times a day the first week,
00:27:38 Is there tongue kissing during foreplay?
00:27:40 - Yes.
00:27:42 - Hand on breast?
00:27:43 - Mouth?
00:27:46 - Hand on penis?
00:27:47 Mouth on female genitalia?
00:27:49 - Mouth on penis?
00:27:51 - Yes.
00:27:52 - Yes.
00:27:54 Yes.
00:27:56 Yes, yes, yes.
00:27:57 I became pregnant with Anne in 1923.
00:28:00 I decided to give up my graduate work.
00:28:02 By the time Anne was born,
00:28:06 Joan came along a year later.
00:28:08 Just afterJoan's fifth birthday,
00:28:12 And Bruce is our youngest.
00:28:14 Bruce found the gall
00:28:17 It was in the mountains
00:28:20 They grow up so fast.
00:28:22 [Man] Wejust didn't know
00:28:26 [Kinsey]
00:28:28 [Woman]
00:28:30 [Man] We heard you had good advice
00:28:33 Sexual difficulty among newly married people
00:28:37 It's nothing to be ashamed of.
00:28:39 - How long have you been married?
00:28:42 And, Emily, you've had absolutely
00:28:45 It's like I'm dead down there.
00:28:48 We went to the doctor,
00:28:52 Does Ben ever use his fingers
00:28:55 Um...
00:28:57 why bother...
00:28:59 now that we can do the real thing?
00:29:04 What's your most common
00:29:08 There's more than one?
00:29:10 Mac and I are still discovering some.
00:29:12 [Exhales]
00:29:14 Emily, were you sexually experienced
00:29:17 No.
00:29:19 I still thought babies
00:29:23 [Chuckles]
00:29:25 Did you ever masturbate?
00:29:29 It's all my fault.
00:29:32 I'm damaged in some way.
00:29:34 I'm frigid.
00:29:37 I don't think that's the problem at all.
00:29:39 Ben, do you ever perform
00:29:44 Uh, I... I don't know
00:29:47 Genital kissing.
00:29:51 [Stammers Quietly]
00:29:57 My brother told me
00:30:01 later on...
00:30:03 with having babies.
00:30:06 Oh, I don't think that's true.
00:30:08 No, I heard that too.
00:30:10 I can assure you, there's no relation
00:30:14 But how do you know?
00:30:16 How do I know the Earth is round?
00:30:21 But... has anyone actually proven...
00:30:24 that there's no connection?
00:30:26 If you're asking whether
00:30:29 devoted to the subject
00:30:32 well...
00:30:35 frankly, I don't know.
00:30:39 Well...
00:30:41 then how can you be sure?
00:30:45 I felt like a blundering amateur.
00:30:48 I couldn't imagine where
00:30:51 until I discovered this...
00:30:53 Ideal Marriage:
00:30:56 Oh, dear.
00:30:58 "Oral contact, while acceptable
00:31:01 is pathological if carried through
00:31:04 I must be in grave danger then.
00:31:06 Wait. "The hand should never be used
00:31:11 "There is but one finger of love with
00:31:15 and that is the male organ."
00:31:18 [Giggles]
00:31:20 It's all just hooey.
00:31:23 - Just do your tie.
00:31:27 Professor Kinsey's methods...
00:31:29 of collecting vast numbers
00:31:32 over a wide geographic range...
00:31:35 have made him a starred scientist.
00:31:37 They have also earned him
00:31:41 - "Get-A-Million" Kinsey.
00:31:43 [Mutters]
00:31:47 His new book,
00:31:51 "Sinnips"? "Cynips"?
00:31:53 Close enough.
00:31:55 Traces the origin of the gall wasp
00:31:58 in the Upper Cretaceous.
00:32:00 So, now I give you...
00:32:02 Dr. Kinsey.
00:32:09 Thank you, President Wells, for that
00:32:14 [Clears Throat] I thought you
00:32:17 until I saw those crib notes
00:32:19 [Laughing]
00:32:22 Of course,
00:32:24 hasn't been checked out
00:32:27 I'd be surprised
00:32:30 But I guess I always knew
00:32:36 make them beat a path to my door.
00:32:45 In any case, thank you, Herman.
00:32:47 This is... This is splendid.
00:32:52 - Thank you.
00:32:54 - Congratulations.
00:32:56 [Woman]
00:32:58 Some reform-minded undergraduates...
00:33:00 paid me a visit the other day,
00:33:02 They are campaigning for a sex course.
00:33:05 I already cover sex in the hygiene class.
00:33:07 Which the student paper called
00:33:10 Oh, Kinsey. I'm glad to see middle age
00:33:14 - Mrs. Kinsey.
00:33:18 There's a V.D. Epidemic
00:33:20 And that's my fault? I don't know
00:33:24 Besides, there's a cure for syphilis...
00:33:27 and it's called abstinence.
00:33:29 Penicillin works just as well.
00:33:30 Herman, the trustees appointed you
00:33:34 Why not address the need
00:33:37 with students' real questions,
00:33:40 Open sex instruction
00:33:43 It is better to address these matters
00:33:47 You mean an anti-sex course...
00:33:49 with irrelevant gabble
00:33:52 Gentlemen. Please.
00:33:54 I am going to take the students'proposal
00:33:56 Good.
00:33:58 But since I just got this job...
00:34:00 and wouldn't mind hanging on to it
00:34:03 I think I'm gonna stick with
00:34:06 - [Projector Motor Running]
00:34:09 that, of the type of teenage girls applying
00:34:13 the percentage that is infected
00:34:17 is always very high.
00:34:19 [Man Narrating]
00:34:21 where youthful energy
00:34:24 - ## [Swing]
00:34:28 and promiscuity nearly always follows...
00:34:30 - [Both Chuckle]
00:34:32 of abortions, illegitimate births and...
00:34:36 disease.
00:34:38 - What's your trouble, Jerry?
00:34:42 Just stretch out on that table over there.
00:34:45 [Narrator]
00:34:47 the misery caused to innocent victims...
00:34:51 - [Groans]
00:34:53 of individuals infected with syphilis.
00:34:56 [Doctor]
00:34:58 that you can't tell by the looks of a woman
00:35:00 I guess that finishes me.
00:35:02 I'll have to quit school and go someplace
00:35:05 [Narrator]
00:35:09 an education in the dangers
00:35:11 of breaking the time-tested rules...
00:35:14 laid down for the regulation
00:35:20 The idea that men need sex...
00:35:23 is a lie.
00:35:26 If it were true...
00:35:28 the boy who exercises
00:35:32 would achieve the greatest
00:35:36 Whereas, in fact, that boy
00:35:41 by the time he reaches adulthood.
00:35:45 Abstinence poses no difficulty...
00:35:48 for the college-age male.
00:35:50 Men don't reach their sexual peak
00:35:55 It is the lower-class male...
00:35:57 often Negro...
00:35:59 who finds it difficult
00:36:03 However, perfect inhibition...
00:36:06 although an ideal to be striven for...
00:36:09 is not always achievable.
00:36:11 Stress and the worries of the day...
00:36:14 can lead to a weakening of resolve...
00:36:17 opening the door to temptation.
00:36:22 When tense at bedtime...
00:36:26 I find there are
00:36:30 If I can't get to sleep...
00:36:32 I like to close my eyes...
00:36:34 and think of all theJohns I know.
00:36:37 - [Muffled Snickering]
00:36:41 Well, not onlyJohns.
00:36:44 Sometimes Peters.
00:36:46 - [Snickering, Chuckling]
00:36:48 - [Loud Laughter]
00:36:53 If you're here to enroll
00:36:53 If you're here to enroll
00:36:56 it's only open to faculty members
00:36:59 seniors and married undergraduates.
00:37:01 [Groans]
00:37:03 Come back and try in the spring.
00:37:06 Are you a senior?
00:37:08 Um, we're engaged.
00:37:11 - Congratulations.
00:37:18 Why offer a marriage course?
00:37:22 Because society has interfered...
00:37:24 with what should be
00:37:27 causing a scandalous delay
00:37:30 which leads to sexual difficulty
00:37:33 In an uninhibited society, a 12-year-old
00:37:37 which I will have to give you
00:37:40 So, let's start with the six stages
00:37:46 Stimulation...
00:37:48 lubrication, erection...
00:37:52 increased sensitivity...
00:37:55 orgasm and nervous release.
00:37:58 Both sexes experience
00:38:07 Stimulation.
00:38:13 Who can tell me
00:38:16 can enlarge a hundred times?
00:38:19 Um... miss.
00:38:24 I'm sure I don't know.
00:38:27 And you've no right to ask me
00:38:31 I was referring to the pupil
00:38:34 [Class Laughing]
00:38:37 And I think I should tell you you're in
00:38:40 [Laughing Continues]
00:38:42 It is often with the eye
00:38:48 [Gasping, Murmuring]
00:38:53 The actual adjustments which are made
00:38:57 are shown on this slide.
00:39:00 The vagina must be spread open...
00:39:02 as the erect male organ penetrates.
00:39:06 You will see
00:39:09 thus providing
00:39:13 for the completion of the act
00:39:16 [Gasping Continues]
00:39:19 You will also see
00:39:21 which is one of the most sensitive points,
00:39:25 [Thunder Rumbling]
00:39:30 - Ohh!
00:39:32 Where on earth did you get that cap?
00:39:34 Oh. Professor Kinsey. I'm sorry.
00:39:36 It's a whaler's hat.
00:39:38 Not very pretty,
00:39:41 - Do I know you?
00:39:44 How are you finding it, Mr. Martin?
00:39:47 Oh, it's the most enlightening class
00:39:51 Well, I'd better get going. I've got
00:39:54 Forget that. Come with me.
00:39:57 All right.
00:40:00 [Murmuring, Chattering]
00:40:02 Don't worry. Dr. Kinsey will be staying late.
00:40:05 Can too much sex cause cancer?
00:40:07 Will wearing high heels
00:40:09 I think my vagina's abnormally shaped.
00:40:11 Can you get syphilis from a whistle?
00:40:13 Is homosexuality a form of insanity?
00:40:16 I think about my cat.
00:40:19 A lot!
00:40:21 Does su-s-s-suppressing sex...
00:40:25 lead to stuttering?
00:40:27 [Kinsey]
00:40:29 Does too much masturbation
00:40:34 Is it unusual for my boyfriend
00:40:38 All excellent questions.
00:40:41 They all have the same answer...
00:40:43 I don't know.
00:40:47 From a sexual standpoint,
00:40:50 because we know so little
00:40:53 This leaves most of us
00:40:58 Am I interested in the right things?
00:41:00 Do I do things the normal way?
00:41:03 One of the ways of finding out
00:41:06 is to find out what they've done.
00:41:09 So please, take the time to fill out
00:41:13 Try to be as accurate and honest
00:41:17 This will only work...
00:41:20 This will only work
00:41:23 [Martin]
00:41:26 These colors are incredible.
00:41:29 It's the most complete collection
00:41:33 We have over 250
00:41:36 [Grunting]
00:41:38 Good work, Martin, but you're using
00:41:44 Come on. Here.
00:41:48 - Okay.
00:41:50 No, you do it. Guide.
00:41:53 Ah!
00:41:56 Lemonade.
00:41:58 Mac, these responses will floor you.
00:42:01 The gap between what we assume
00:42:04 is enormous.
00:42:05 [Martin]
00:42:08 There's no relation between
00:42:11 The ugly ones
00:42:13 I always thought "ugly"
00:42:16 Sorry.
00:42:20 Not only does every male in the class
00:42:22 Most of the women do too.
00:42:24 That doesn't surprise me.
00:42:28 About a third of the married men
00:42:31 - It's only one in 10 for the women.
00:42:34 [Martin]
00:42:37 Not just heterosexual,
00:42:40 I just wish we could get
00:42:43 A hundred cases
00:42:45 Maybe it's because it's a questionnaire.
00:42:47 Feels too much like homework or a test.
00:42:49 I agree. Also, people don't know
00:42:53 - They have to be sure their secrets are safe.
00:42:56 Everyone knows I keep those questionnaires
00:42:59 Clyde has a point.
00:43:02 You're asking people to reveal
00:43:05 possibly even damaging.
00:43:09 What if you just talked to them?
00:43:11 Then all their secrets
00:43:19 Martin, you should have
00:43:24 I can't tell.
00:43:27 Yes, I think it was.
00:43:30 People resist at first.
00:43:32 But I'm trying to choreograph
00:43:34 so they'll be disarmed into answering.
00:43:36 - How many different things
00:43:39 "Clean out the refrigerator" night,
00:43:41 Martin's been surprisingly helpful.
00:43:43 He's an ideal practice subject, since he's
00:43:47 - Where have you been?
00:43:49 - How'd it go?
00:43:51 - Coach said he might start me at the next meet.
00:43:55 I told you there won't be any more swimming
00:43:58 I can't help it, Dad. I hate biology.
00:44:00 That's because you have never
00:44:03 Physical activity is important, Son...
00:44:05 but your interest in sports
00:44:07 Yes. Maybe he should
00:44:11 The one-on-one
00:44:15 Talking to people yields more information
00:44:18 I think it will prove to be
00:44:21 What if they make things up?
00:44:23 I'm building in little trip wires
00:44:27 - Would you like to take my sex history, Daddy?
00:44:31 No.
00:44:33 What about you, Anne?
00:44:36 We've done some petting.
00:44:38 I figured we wouldn't
00:44:41 That's probably better.
00:44:43 If Anne can have intercourse,
00:44:46 Your sister's 18
00:44:49 Does it hurt?
00:44:52 - What, dear?
00:44:56 Oh...
00:44:59 just a little...
00:45:01 It helps if you spread the vulva
00:45:05 Can we please talk
00:45:09 Other families don't do this.
00:45:12 When did you become such a prig?
00:45:14 My friends aren't even allowed to come over here.
00:45:18 You spend too much time in the water.
00:45:22 - Have you learned nothing?
00:45:25 Nothing!
00:45:28 Bruce? Bruce.
00:45:30 I don't wanna talk about it.
00:45:35 - [Horn Honks]
00:45:37 [Kinsey] I heard about this community
00:45:40 This is my third trip, and already
00:45:44 By my calculation, there are over
00:45:47 and no one's ever even bothered
00:45:50 It's a gold mine of information, Martin,
00:45:54 - ##[Jazz]
00:46:03 What'll it be, handsome?
00:46:05 Two scotches.
00:46:09 I find liquor is an essential tool
00:46:12 although it has involved more drinking
00:46:18 Let's get started.
00:46:22 Hello, I'm Professor Kinsey
00:46:26 and I'm making a study
00:46:29 - Can we sit and talk?
00:46:32 No, I'm not.
00:46:34 I'd be grateful if you'd answer
00:46:38 Mary here is a professor.
00:46:40 She says she wants to study
00:46:43 - Well, tell her to stick around and watch.
00:46:46 - Andy's here. You have to see what he's wearing.
00:46:52 That Andy.
00:46:53 Hello. I'm Professor Kinsey from...
00:46:56 Excuse me. I'm Professor Kinsey.
00:46:59 Excuse me... Hello.
00:47:01 I'm Professor Kinsey
00:47:03 and I'm making a study
00:47:05 - Can I ask you a few questions?
00:47:09 - You're the sex doctor, right?
00:47:12 If you'd be kind enough to talk to me,
00:47:16 Sure. What do you want to know?
00:47:19 [Man]
00:47:22 We were messin'around
00:47:25 you know, the way kids'll do.
00:47:30 Pop walked in...
00:47:34 found us, locked us in the barn.
00:47:37 [Sighs]
00:47:41 They, um...
00:47:45 They branded us.
00:47:55 Took turns doin' it.
00:47:59 Then they beat us raw.
00:48:01 Broke a couple ribs, collarbone.
00:48:05 Tommy, he, uh...
00:48:09 he didn't make out as well as I did.
00:48:15 - What age were you?
00:48:18 - And you've been on your own since then?
00:48:26 It's not that I mind being queer.
00:48:29 'Cause I don't.
00:48:31 It's just, um...
00:48:34 I wish other folks
00:48:37 Homosexuality happens to be...
00:48:40 out of fashion in society now.
00:48:42 That doesn't mean
00:48:45 Right.
00:48:48 [Scoffs]
00:48:55 But why didn't I see it before?
00:48:58 Human beings are just bigger,
00:49:02 All I have to do is collect
00:49:04 and homosexuals
00:49:07 - [Laughing]
00:49:09 I'm sorry. I just had an image of some
00:49:12 As if the marriage course
00:49:15 Now, Prok, promise me you'll get at least
00:49:21 Of course.
00:49:22 And let Clyde share in the driving.
00:49:26 Prok?
00:49:28 Okay, Mac.
00:49:30 I'll sign off now.
00:49:32 - [Water Running]
00:49:35 Love you too.
00:49:39 [Dial Tone]
00:49:48 You know what
00:49:51 Mmm?
00:49:53 The way that you talk to people.
00:49:57 Oh, well, it's just a matter of, uh...
00:50:00 putting yourself on their level.
00:50:02 No, it's more than that.
00:50:05 You really seem to care.
00:50:18 - This rating scale of yours?
00:50:21 Uh, zero to six...
00:50:24 Zero being exclusively heterosexual...
00:50:26 and, uh, six being
00:50:32 A great many people line up
00:50:35 - What makes you think that's true?
00:50:38 Remember, about a third
00:50:41 have homosexual acts,
00:50:43 Right.
00:50:46 I guess I'm about a three, huh?
00:50:49 Based on your sexual history...
00:50:52 I'd say that's, um, right.
00:50:55 How about you?
00:51:00 I suppose I've been a one or two...
00:51:04 most of my life...
00:51:07 even though it's taken a long time...
00:51:09 to recognize it.
00:51:14 And now?
00:51:20 Probably...
00:51:25 th-three.
00:51:27 Have you ever
00:51:34 Would you like to?
00:52:09 I've taken on so many
00:52:12 I don't want any of my own...
00:52:14 and certainly not with you.
00:52:18 You still haven't said anything.
00:52:22 It's not like I'm...
00:52:25 surprised exactly.
00:52:28 I've observed...
00:52:30 certain things over the years.
00:52:32 Such as?
00:52:34 A look or a gesture.
00:52:36 [Sniffles]
00:52:38 The pet student who suddenly
00:52:41 and then just as suddenly disappears
00:52:44 I think you must know me
00:52:47 But I'm not sure...
00:52:50 I understand.
00:52:54 Haven't I always been open
00:52:57 It's not you, Mac.
00:53:01 I'm just not enough. Is that it?
00:53:06 [Sighs]
00:53:08 Please, Mac.
00:53:10 This is inside of me.
00:53:13 But I'd be a hypocrite
00:53:16 - When I took your history...
00:53:19 - Didn't you admit to having
00:53:22 I'm sorry. But what keeps you from
00:53:25 No! It's our marriage!
00:53:29 Exactly. Social restraints.
00:53:33 Did you ever stop to think
00:53:36 to keep people
00:53:41 I don't sleep with other men
00:53:44 and I don't want to hurt you.
00:53:46 But what if it didn't hurt me?
00:53:48 Then I'd be hurt.
00:53:50 You're just afraid that I won't love you
00:53:54 The human animal is capable
00:53:58 Not all sex has to be sanctioned
00:54:02 - To the Greeks...
00:54:04 Stop lecturing, Prok.
00:54:06 Stop using science
00:54:12 Oh, Mac.
00:54:16 - Mac.
00:54:18 Listen to me.
00:54:20 You're my girl.
00:54:23 The bond we have, the life we share...
00:54:26 sex is nothing compared to that.
00:54:31 I can't talk about this anymore.
00:54:42 ## [Classical]
00:54:56 [Kinsey's Voice] Most people think
00:54:59 is what everyone does...
00:55:01 or should do.
00:55:03 But I might remark that nearly all
00:55:07 fall within the range
00:55:11 For example, masturbation...
00:55:14 mouth-genital contacts
00:55:17 are common
00:55:19 including humans.
00:55:21 Society might condemn such practices
00:55:25 However, it's ludicrous
00:55:30 But based on
00:55:32 and according to public opinion...
00:55:35 there's only one
00:55:38 man plus woman equals baby.
00:55:41 Everything else is vice.
00:55:43 But the orgasm record of the males
00:55:46 proves the ineffectiveness
00:55:49 and the imperativeness
00:55:58 Why are some cows highly sexed...
00:56:00 while others just stand there?
00:56:04 Why do some men
00:56:07 and others almost none?
00:56:13 Because everyone is different.
00:56:18 The problem is,
00:56:23 They find it easier to simply ignore...
00:56:25 this fundamental aspect
00:56:30 They're so eager
00:56:33 that they'll betray their own nature
00:56:38 If something pleasurable
00:56:42 it becomes an obsession.
00:56:47 Think about this.
00:56:58 ##[Classical Continues]
00:57:01 ##[Ends]
00:57:04 You have better things to do...
00:57:06 than help a middle-aged woman home
00:57:09 Prok got worried
00:57:12 Said he had to take histories
00:57:15 so he'd like an early dinner.
00:57:18 - Hmph.
00:57:20 Hardly gives me time to boil an egg.
00:57:22 - Can I help?
00:57:24 I just... I'm sorry
00:57:27 No. I volunteered.
00:57:32 Mmm.
00:57:37 Hear that?
00:57:39 - What?
00:57:41 [Chuckles]
00:57:45 Must be a big adjustment.
00:57:48 No. He's loving college.
00:57:50 Maybe it's just
00:57:53 - Oh.
00:57:56 - Rhubarb?
00:58:04 You know, Clyde,
00:58:09 I don't blame you.
00:58:11 - Most women would have had me murdered.
00:58:15 I hate to think of myself
00:58:18 But if this had to happen...
00:58:23 I'm glad it was you.
00:58:25 And I... have to admit
00:58:30 It certainly sparked things up sexually.
00:58:34 I suppose we'd both grown bored
00:58:39 I think you've handled it
00:58:42 I learned something a long time ago.
00:58:44 Once Prok has his mind set,
00:58:48 Yes.
00:58:50 He is...
00:58:53 relentless.
00:58:58 Clyde?
00:59:02 You know, this thing
00:59:07 it was fine for a while, but...
00:59:11 I guess I just really miss
00:59:22 That's perfectly understandable.
00:59:31 It's clear from your history, you have
00:59:36 Good.
00:59:38 Then you won't mind
00:59:42 I mean, only if it appeals to you,
00:59:48 - Would it be separately or together?
00:59:53 Oh, I think I might like that.
00:59:55 What do you think, Prok?
01:00:04 - [Mac Moans]
01:00:06 Mac. The Rockefeller Foundation
01:00:10 You-You know,
01:00:17 We still have to catalog
01:00:20 - Please.
01:00:20 - Please.
01:00:23 - It's just... It's a very full day.
01:00:26 Coming!
01:00:28 [Kinsey] One key to understanding
01:00:32 Every culture produces
01:00:36 as distinct as its cuisine.
01:00:38 As you can see, Brazil's imagery
01:00:42 while Italy favors nuns and priests.
01:00:44 In England, one often sees depictions
01:00:48 wankers and spankers.
01:00:50 While in the Far East,
01:00:55 You've amassed
01:00:57 Thank you. Only what I've been able
01:01:01 But if the Rockefeller Foundation
01:01:05 some of that money will help us
01:01:08 - Um, Herman? That's 200 years old.
01:01:11 - Oh.
01:01:16 Prok, please, Dr. Gregg just got here.
01:01:19 - [Wells Chuckles]
01:01:24 The Library of Congress has a policy...
01:01:26 of destroying whatever
01:01:29 - The loss to science has been, uh, incalculable.
01:01:33 There's plenty of time to take
01:01:36 Who'd like to go first?
01:01:40 I...
01:01:42 [Stammering]
01:01:45 Early in my bug-hunting days,
01:01:49 I said I wouldn't know
01:01:53 A scientist can only generalize
01:01:56 if he has enough
01:01:59 Is this your first time
01:02:01 Yes. It's lovely.
01:02:05 [Kinsey] That's why I've broken
01:02:08 into 200 major social subgroups.
01:02:10 We'll get anywhere from 400
01:02:14 for a total of 100,000,
01:02:17 It could take 20 years, but, at the end,
01:02:20 most of the basic questions
01:02:24 Herman, is the pot roast dry?
01:02:26 No. It's delicious.
01:02:28 The first publication
01:02:31 followed a year later
01:02:33 then another nine books dealing
01:02:37 pregnancy and abortion and art...
01:02:40 studied from a sexual standpoint,
01:02:42 With the children gone,
01:02:46 Mac. Let's get to the point.
01:02:48 This project is one of
01:02:51 in connection
01:02:53 But without support from the Rockefeller
01:03:01 There are those who argue that...
01:03:05 sex is largely a matter of feelings
01:03:10 things beyond your training
01:03:14 That's like saying a biochemist can't
01:03:18 - It's inane.
01:03:21 That is, it's really a very stupid way
01:03:25 One of the aims of science
01:03:28 The only way to study sex
01:03:32 is to strip away everything
01:03:36 And this team you're proposing?
01:03:39 I'll need two pair of hands at least...
01:03:41 And Clyde Martin, of course.
01:03:43 [Gregg] Since you're working
01:03:46 they need to be as clean
01:03:49 Um...
01:03:51 Door-to-door salesmen, Prok.
01:03:54 I think what Dr. Gregg is saying
01:03:57 needs to have motives that are entirely pure
01:04:02 - I couldn't agree more.
01:04:05 - Now, there's one more thing.
01:04:08 I hope you're not planning to dwell
01:04:13 Science is always interested
01:04:17 Yes, but it's advisable
01:04:21 You don't want to shake people up.
01:04:28 Of course not.
01:04:32 I'm happy to leave
01:04:35 Ah. Ah.
01:04:37 Well, that all sounds good.
01:04:42 So, if you're ready...
01:04:44 I'd like to begin with
01:04:46 No. All wrong. Start by putting
01:04:47 No. All wrong. Start by putting
01:04:50 - Would you care for a drink, Mac?
01:04:54 Do anything fun this weekend?
01:04:57 My daughters were in town,
01:04:59 We had a marvelous meal
01:05:01 - Really? What did you cook?
01:05:03 See how much more relaxed
01:05:06 If you ease in
01:05:08 people forget
01:05:10 How did you first
01:05:12 I invented it, son.
01:05:14 Sometimes I tie a rope
01:05:18 - And what other masochistic acts do you enjoy?
01:05:22 How often do you have intercourse?
01:05:24 - Two or three times.
01:05:27 - No, a day.
01:05:31 How often do you reach orgasm?
01:05:33 - Once.
01:05:36 No. Only once.
01:05:39 About 20 years ago.
01:05:41 I was sitting on a piano stool
01:05:43 Mm. Oh, that's good.
01:05:46 How old were you when you first engaged
01:05:49 - [Foreign Accent] Fourteen.
01:05:52 With horse.
01:05:57 How often were you having intercourse
01:06:00 Is true. I fucked a pony.
01:06:03 You are genius.
01:06:05 You just said
01:06:09 No. Whores.
01:06:12 Not horse. Whores.
01:06:14 Do you find my answers typical?
01:06:16 - Am I normal?
01:06:18 [Man, Foreign Accent]
01:06:20 [No Audible Dialogue]
01:06:22 Yes. I found a book
01:06:27 under all the tablecloths,
01:06:31 and go into the bathroom
01:06:33 But I was very frightened.
01:06:35 - [Man] She told her mother
01:06:40 Or maybe it was just
01:06:44 Before you know it,
01:06:49 Hell, I didn't even know it was illegal.
01:06:53 - Now I'm in here for five years.
01:06:55 I guess I was about nine, 10.
01:06:59 And she say she was gonna
01:07:04 - And, well, I guess I kinda liked it.
01:07:07 - Horses in the stable, and by watching them...
01:07:12 The father said, "I put my roll of bills
01:07:17 - and I got you for change."
01:07:19 [Voices Overlapping, Blending]
01:07:28 [Overlapping Voices Continue]
01:07:38 - [Woman] I saw myself as nasty and terrible...
01:07:42 [Overlapping Voices Continue]
01:07:44 [Elderly Woman]
01:07:48 "Mama, is this true?
01:07:50 Do men put their thing in women?"
01:07:57 [Man]
01:07:59 [Overlapping Voices Continue]
01:08:02 If you weren't a virgin, you were
01:08:06 Tested us for, uh,
01:08:08 - They were both naked.
01:08:11 [Voices Overlapping, Blending]
01:08:14 [Voices Speeding Up]
01:08:28 [Overlapping Voices Murmuring]
01:08:37 You may kiss the bride.
01:08:46 Did you hear Professor Kinsey
01:08:49 Oh, let me guess.
01:08:52 - How did you know?
01:08:55 - [Chuckles]
01:08:58 - What do you mean?
01:09:01 Mm-hmm.
01:09:03 Well, he wouldn't have let Clyde
01:09:06 Uh, didn't Clyde mention
01:09:11 Prok likes for us to keep a record
01:09:14 - Tell them about that dream
01:09:18 I was in the middle of
01:09:22 - He wouldn't say who with.
01:09:25 and there was Prok standing there
01:09:28 "Gebhard, hurry up! You're wasting countless
01:09:31 Well, needless to say,
01:09:34 So he woke up, and I had to take over.
01:09:38 We're trying to get pregnant again...
01:09:41 so, uh, there was no raincoat
01:09:43 - [All Laugh]
01:09:45 Do the Kinseys know
01:09:48 [Pomeroy]
01:09:51 - Could I get a picture?
01:09:55 why don't you call me when you
01:09:57 We'll have a nice long lunch.
01:09:59 - Look at the birdie.
01:10:01 No, I've got the report.
01:10:04 [Pomeroy] Uh, often among boys
01:10:09 - [Typing]
01:10:12 [Gebhard] Perhaps you wanna say
01:10:15 - instead of"farm boys."
01:10:18 What's the difference?
01:10:20 Henry.
01:10:22 Everything looks in order here.
01:10:24 You can have either Thanksgiving
01:10:26 - Your choice entirely.
01:10:30 Do you need anything before I go?
01:10:33 We'll never get this book done
01:10:36 I'll stay if you let me
01:10:38 You don't have the time to answer
01:10:40 If people take the trouble to write,
01:10:43 Mrs. Kinsey said to remind you
01:10:45 And your father phoned again.
01:10:51 No. I'll do it.
01:10:57 [Door Closes]
01:11:02 - [Birds Calling]
01:11:05 and the power
01:11:09 - Amen.
01:11:13 - Hello, Mildred.
01:11:17 Come say hello to Father.
01:11:19 [People Chattering Quietly]
01:11:30 I'm very sad for you, Alfred.
01:11:33 Well, it's not as though
01:11:37 My daughter's too fat
01:11:39 And my son's lost his business.
01:11:43 The only one I got rid of
01:11:46 Now he's working on some...
01:11:50 He was always the secretive type.
01:11:52 Would you really like to know
01:11:56 Oh, listen to this.
01:11:58 It's really not a secret at all.
01:12:00 I'm trying to find out
01:12:03 [Gasps]
01:12:05 You heard right, Father.
01:12:08 [People Gasping, Murmuring]
01:12:12 Well, what do you expect me
01:12:14 No.
01:12:19 But I would like you
01:12:22 Oh.
01:12:27 And you first moved
01:12:29 Sixteen.
01:12:32 Could have done this interview
01:12:36 I haven't told you a damn thing
01:12:38 Let's move on then.
01:12:42 - How young were you
01:12:45 - Touched yourself.
01:12:48 The male without a history
01:12:52 Well, he exists, Al,
01:12:56 This isn't gonna work.
01:12:59 I don't know why I bothered.
01:13:03 Stay where you are.
01:13:09 I'll try again.
01:13:16 How often did your masturbation
01:13:27 There was a problem, a...
01:13:30 A ch...
01:13:32 "chronic condition,"
01:13:36 How long did this continue?
01:13:42 I was outfitted...
01:13:45 with a tight strap
01:13:50 It... It kept me from coming
01:13:55 It was a...
01:13:57 a highly embarrassing remedy,
01:14:01 The condition was cured.
01:14:07 How old were you?
01:14:14 I-I was 10.
01:14:25 I'm so sorry, Dad.
01:14:41 I'm feeling a little tired now.
01:14:56 Sounds to me like you're
01:15:01 Nobody wants to know
01:15:06 [Door Closes]
01:15:08 How are you?
01:15:10 - Hey. Hey, that's him! That's Kinsey!
01:15:13 - ##[Woman Singing: Jazz]
01:15:17 and I'd be happy to talk to you
01:15:19 - Over here.!
01:15:22 You are free to read and take notes...
01:15:24 but under no circumstances
01:15:26 I won't deny the going
01:15:29 Dr. Kinsey's findings are surprising,
01:15:33 For example, marital sex, which is really
01:15:37 is only one of nine means by which
01:15:41 Premarital sex, extramarital sex...
01:15:45 masturbation and homosexuality...
01:15:48 are much more prevalent than anyone
01:15:53 I can assure you that Dr. Kinsey...
01:15:56 has done everything in his power...
01:15:58 to present this book tastefully.
01:16:00 So, I thought this
01:16:03 to ask for a formal show of support.
01:16:05 Those in favor.
01:16:07 ##[Singing Continues]
01:16:22 I just hope it's not going
01:16:26 With any luck, Mrs. Spaulding...
01:16:29 the general public won't even notice.
01:16:31 #According to the Kinsey Report #
01:16:34 #Every average man you know #
01:16:37 #Much prefers his lovey-dovey to court #
01:16:40 # When the temperature is low #
01:16:43 #But when the thermometer goes way up #
01:16:46 #And the weather is sizzlin'hot #
01:16:48 #Mr. Gob for his squab #
01:16:52 - That'll be "sex-fifty" please.
01:16:55 #A G.I. For his cutie-pie is not #
01:16:59 # 'Cause it's too, too, too darn hot ##
01:17:09 [Kinsey Lecturing]
01:17:11 it is done through observation.
01:17:13 But in a Puritan culture,
01:17:17 often made dreadful through
01:17:23 [Rice] Mark my words,
01:17:27 the American public will greet this book...
01:17:30 - with the thundering silence it deserves.
01:17:34 What brings you to New York,
01:17:36 We'll be taking the sex histories
01:17:40 including the entire cast
01:17:43 We'll also be interviewing women
01:17:47 as well as meeting with our benefactors
01:17:50 Are you surprised
01:17:52 No. It shows that the world
01:17:54 Any plans on a Hollywood picture
01:17:57 I can't think of anything more pointless.
01:17:59 - [Laughter]
01:18:01 Has your life changed much?
01:18:03 My husband's busier than ever.
01:18:07 [Reporter] What about
01:18:10 [Overlapping Questions, Chattering]
01:18:12 Gentlemen.
01:18:15 If you want to write
01:18:17 I suggest you look into
01:18:20 The majority of sex offenders
01:18:23 have nothing in their histories different
01:18:28 Their only crime is being too poor
01:18:31 This is unfair.
01:18:35 And everybody's crime
01:18:38 [Overlapping Questions, Chattering]
01:18:40 "Everybody's sin is nobody's sin."
01:18:43 That wasn't my point at all.
01:18:45 The newspapers lift things out of context
01:18:50 Still, it's hardly your place
01:18:53 You're sounding more like
01:18:56 [Laughing]
01:18:58 My father always hoped
01:19:00 And why do you insist on flaunting
01:19:05 Haven't I just given you the best-selling
01:19:09 - Not only here but across the globe.
01:19:11 And it's casting a bright light
01:19:16 especially some
01:19:22 Who have you been talking to?
01:19:25 - Well, I assume that most of it is gossip.
01:19:30 It's been said that, uh...
01:19:33 you've taken to observing women.
01:19:38 - Go on.
01:19:45 It's true?
01:19:47 Yes. And do you know why?
01:19:50 We went to the leading gynecologists
01:19:55 and they barely knew
01:19:57 When it comes to female sex organs...
01:20:00 we're all tragically ignorant.
01:20:02 [Silent Stammer]
01:20:05 - Volunteers. Friends of the project.
01:20:09 No. Prostitutes are useless.
01:20:14 - Jesus...
01:20:16 The sex histories we have
01:20:18 Everyone knows true science
01:20:23 Nothing can replace
01:20:26 - Or the camera.
01:20:29 Don't tell me.
01:20:32 Just some photographic studies
01:20:36 Oh. Nature films.
01:20:39 Animals.
01:20:41 Yes, if you like.
01:20:49 Gentlemen, you're about to meet
01:20:53 Even the most casual contact
01:20:57 In intercourse,
01:20:59 - within two to five seconds after entry.
01:21:03 - All set there, Barbara?
01:21:06 Come on in.
01:21:13 - Hello.
01:21:16 Did I mention that Barbara didn't have
01:21:22 Notice how she gently strokes
01:21:26 Eighty-four percent of our sample
01:21:29 What about the vagina?
01:21:32 For all but a small minority of women,
01:21:35 practically devoid of nerve endings.
01:21:38 As you can see,
01:21:41 does nothing to relocate
01:21:44 even with as skillful a partner
01:21:47 - That is you, isn't it?
01:21:51 For years, women have been told that
01:21:56 So they've struggled with great anxiety...
01:21:58 to relocate the orgasm in the vagina...
01:22:01 when, for many,
01:22:06 According to the psychoanalysts,
01:22:12 [Kinsey]
01:22:14 The Rockefeller Foundation
01:22:18 We've received $40,000
01:22:21 the highest grant they've ever bestowed
01:22:24 - [Group Chattering]
01:22:26 And they've agreed to underwrite
01:22:29 making us future employees
01:22:33 [Group Exclaiming]
01:22:34 - To Dr. Kinsey.
01:22:37 - [Martin] And Mrs. Kinsey.
01:22:39 And to our husbands...
01:22:43 - [All Laughing]
01:22:46 [Group]
01:22:49 [Kinsey]
01:22:52 Ah. You don't look happy.
01:22:55 No, I am. Really.
01:22:57 It's just that Clyde is going
01:23:00 Ah. Well, don't worry.
01:23:04 A lot of good that will do.
01:23:07 What are you trying to say,
01:23:11 God, you're pretty.
01:23:14 - [Kisses]
01:23:16 We have gathered only 9,300 histories...
01:23:19 and we have
01:23:21 Starting tomorrow,
01:23:24 Well, it's still tonight, and since
01:23:28 I think it's time for a tumble.
01:23:30 [Laughs]
01:23:46 In the bonobo chimpanzee...
01:23:51 sex is the glue
01:23:55 [Continues Dictation]
01:23:57 or religion or morality...
01:23:59 their society's behavior
01:24:02 as a coherent unit
01:24:05 Based on the experiences of females
01:24:10 we have observed a wide range
01:24:16 At times, it is a conscious or unconscious
01:24:22 In other instances,
01:24:25 with new sexual partners who are sometimes
01:24:31 There are occasions
01:24:34 for the partner's
01:24:36 or for some sort
01:24:42 Some females discover new sources
01:24:47 while others find it impossible to share
01:24:50 with more than one partner.
01:24:56 We have also encountered
01:25:00 in which husbands encourage their wives
01:25:05 in an honest attempt
01:25:07 for additional sexual satisfaction.
01:25:27 [Kinsey] I've corresponded with
01:25:30 but I never thought he'd agree to meet.
01:25:33 He's amassed a lifetime of data.
01:25:37 Working for the Forestry Department
01:25:41 so I've met a wide array of people.
01:25:45 - By the way, my name is...
01:25:48 Kenneth Braun.
01:25:51 I trust you.
01:25:54 We're actually a lot alike, you know.
01:25:56 - How so?
01:25:59 the depth of every vagina
01:26:01 the length and circumference
01:26:05 the time to reach orgasm...
01:26:07 the distance of ejaculation.
01:26:09 I've written it all down.
01:26:13 This is the record of my...
01:26:17 which is sex, by the way.
01:26:20 Um, I find that recording is a...
01:26:23 is a way to experience things
01:26:29 I also have certain... rare abilities.
01:26:35 From a completely flaccid start...
01:26:38 I can become erect and ejaculate
01:26:43 I'd say that's pretty much
01:26:48 Why, the rush ofblood alone would...
01:26:52 [Panting]
01:26:58 [Grunting]
01:27:04 Oh! Oh!
01:27:13 Shall we get started?
01:27:15 My grandmother introduced me
01:27:19 My first homosexual act
01:27:23 Uh, I was 11...
01:27:25 Of the 33 members
01:27:28 I've had sex with 17 of them.
01:27:30 That's five generations now.
01:27:33 My penis is 8.24 inches long...
01:27:35 with a diameter of 2.8 inches
01:27:39 In my youth, I averaged eight cubic
01:27:44 By the time I was 50,
01:27:47 I've had sex with 22
01:27:50 I've had intercourse
01:27:55 I've had sexual relations with...
01:28:00 605 preadolescent males and...
01:28:07 231 preadolescent females.
01:28:12 Have you ever seen a boy orgasm?
01:28:14 No.
01:28:19 No, right.
01:28:21 I guess that's why I'm such a catch.
01:28:24 Physiologically, it's almost identical
01:28:29 Screw this.
01:28:39 [Door Closes]
01:28:41 I thought you trained them
01:28:45 Sometimes it's difficult.
01:28:47 Yeah, well,
01:28:51 really puts your beliefs
01:28:53 - How?
01:28:55 - Everybody should do what they want.
01:28:59 No one should be forced to do
01:29:02 No one should ever be hurt.
01:29:07 You know, you're a lot more square
01:29:12 Let's get on with it.
01:29:16 Sure.
01:29:22 [People Chattering]
01:29:42 [Wells]
01:29:44 - [Man Shouting Over Phone]
01:29:47 When you calm down, we'll discuss it.
01:29:51 [Sighs]
01:29:55 tipped off the customs board.
01:29:57 What is it with these people? They're simply
01:30:03 I don't know much
01:30:06 but here in the state of Indiana
01:30:09 We'll just have to take
01:30:12 And who's gonna pay for that,
01:30:14 You're an inch away
01:30:16 That's not true.
01:30:20 Hoover is still annoyed
01:30:22 find homosexuals
01:30:25 [Breathes Deeply]
01:30:27 It is rumored that he is
01:30:34 the activities of your staff.
01:30:37 And, as you well know, there have been
01:30:41 Trumped-up nonsense.
01:30:43 Nothing but disguised prudery.
01:30:46 Prok.
01:30:48 Maybe there were small mistakes
01:30:51 but we've corrected them
01:30:55 This will be a very great book,
01:30:57 - Much better than the first.
01:31:02 - [Man On Radio]
01:31:07 As liberty and tyranny.
01:31:10 [Man #3] Kinsey
01:31:13 leading women out into the fields...
01:31:15 to mingle with the cattle.
01:31:17 "Self-appointed messiah
01:31:19 "Having had his way
01:31:22 Kinsey now insecticizes
01:31:26 Did you get any sleep at all
01:31:28 How many years do I have to study
01:31:30 before I'm no longer an entomologist?
01:31:32 - Why do you read them, Prok?
01:31:37 You told them their grandmothers
01:31:40 having premarital sex,
01:31:43 - What did you expect?
01:31:46 [Rings]
01:31:49 Don't answer it.
01:31:51 - Hello.
01:31:54 - Why do you wanna go around poking your nose...
01:32:02 We're in trouble.
01:32:04 The cost of film stock is astronomical.
01:32:07 Shouldn't our nonprofit status
01:32:10 Prok, you've got to let some of this go.
01:32:13 - [Commotion]
01:32:18 - Stop this!
01:32:20 Stop it at once! In my office.
01:32:22 Gebhard, get in there.
01:32:25 - Everyone, back to work.
01:32:29 Do you have any idea
01:32:33 Our enemies are watching
01:32:35 We can't afford a single slip-up.
01:32:37 This has nothing to do
01:32:40 - Everything is about the project!
01:32:43 - a misunderstanding.
01:32:45 You let things get out ofhand
01:32:47 and now she wants to leave him.
01:32:49 Isn't that right, Martin?
01:32:54 And what about you, Gebhard?
01:32:58 - No, of course not.
01:33:01 - I've tried.
01:33:05 - No explanation necessary.
01:33:14 [Exhales]
01:33:18 I'm very sorry about all of this.
01:33:27 I saw this coming.
01:33:29 Gebhard should have
01:33:32 You are so full of shit!
01:33:36 What are we to you, Prok?
01:33:39 Is this just another part
01:33:42 [Exhales]
01:33:44 No. No, I'm sorry.
01:33:49 nothing more than...
01:33:54 Well, let me tell you...
01:33:58 that is a risky game,
01:34:01 It's the whole thing.
01:34:06 And if you're not careful...
01:34:08 it will cut you wide open.
01:34:17 Go home to your wife, Clyde.
01:34:35 - [Door Slams]
01:34:39 I thought the rules were clear.
01:34:41 No intense romantic entanglements.
01:34:44 They only make people's lives unstable.
01:34:46 I guess we all can't be
01:34:56 - [Door Closes]
01:34:58 - [Door Closes]
01:35:00 remains one of the most complicated
01:35:07 Reconciliation
01:35:10 for a variety of sexual partners...
01:35:13 and the maintenance
01:35:15 presents a problem which has not been
01:35:21 The fact is, America is awash
01:35:26 - only a small portion of which
01:35:32 Sexual morality
01:35:36 and science will show the way.
01:35:38 [People Whispering, Indistinct]
01:35:40 - [Whispering Continues]
01:35:48 I sometimes wonder
01:35:53 the Puritans had stayed at home.
01:35:55 What if all the rogues and libertines...
01:35:58 had crossed the Atlantic instead?
01:36:02 [Clearing Throat]
01:36:15 [Constricted Voice] But the enforcers
01:36:19 to dissuade the scientist,
01:36:27 convince him to... cease research.
01:36:32 - [Chattering]
01:36:36 - If you could get him... [Indistinct]
01:36:38 Mac.
01:36:46 He's killing himself.
01:36:48 And you have to help me stop him.
01:36:51 - Okay.
01:36:56 [Door Closes]
01:37:03 Hi.
01:37:10 [Weak Voice]
01:37:12 sounds like a cement mixer.
01:37:16 At least they found one.
01:37:20 Seems I've developed
01:37:26 So...
01:37:28 if I've been a bit harsh lately...
01:37:37 - How's Alice?
01:37:42 We're fine.
01:37:51 It's always been my biggest fear,
01:37:55 dying before I finish this work.
01:38:03 [Snoring Softly]
01:38:12 In the course of these hearings
01:38:16 we intend to show how Communists
01:38:20 There is a diabolical conspiracy
01:38:24 and its aim is the furtherance
01:38:28 Do you agree that Kinsey's research...
01:38:32 aids the communistic aim...
01:38:35 of weakening and destroying
01:38:39 I do not agree, sir.
01:38:42 Well, tell me, Dr. Gregg...
01:38:45 does the Rockefeller Foundation
01:38:48 that it belongs in the business
01:39:07 I think it's probably something...
01:39:10 the foundation shouldn't
01:39:14 [Spectators Murmuring]
01:39:21 [Gregg] Dr. Kinsey's project
01:39:24 to obtain support from...
01:39:27 other sources.
01:39:30 - [Spectators Murmuring]
01:39:36 [Gavel Rapping Continues]
01:39:43 [Wells] With the loss of support
01:39:46 Dr. Kinsey's project will need
01:39:51 - ##[Classical]
01:39:57 Prok, you home?
01:40:00 We are running a budget surplus
01:40:04 which is a direct result
01:40:09 - ##[Continues]
01:40:12 would be enough
01:40:18 Prok?
01:40:30 - Prok?
01:40:36 All those in favor
01:40:43 [Object Clatters]
01:41:18 That's it then.
01:41:23 This woman was beaten by her father
01:41:28 Now she's incapable
01:41:34 And this man..."Dear Dr. Kinsey...
01:41:39 "it has taken me
01:41:41 I suppose because
01:41:44 Where'd that blood come from?
01:41:48 I punctured my foreskin.
01:41:51 I... I wanted to understand different...
01:41:56 different kinds of sensations.
01:42:01 It, uh... It didn't give me
01:42:06 And there...
01:42:11 pain.
01:42:15 [Crying Continues]
01:42:25 I couldn't help them, Mac.
01:42:30 I couldn't figure it out.
01:42:32 Just stop punishing yourself.
01:42:34 Now I...
01:42:41 [Sobbing]
01:42:52 [Sobbing Continues]
01:43:00 [Groans Softly]
01:43:03 This is an exercise in futility.
01:43:07 Huntington Hartford is heir
01:43:10 He can solve your financial problems
01:43:12 I won't beg, Mac.
01:43:16 [Sighs]
01:43:21 - ##[Piano]
01:43:24 Whereas in my home state of Indiana...
01:43:26 all forms of oral sex are illegal,
01:43:30 Mmm. The current sex laws are completely
01:43:35 I've had four wives.
01:43:37 Some people say
01:43:40 - [Guests Laughing]
01:43:44 you're going to have to find a fifth.
01:43:46 - [Guests Chuckling]
01:43:49 Even now, 43 states will punish
01:43:53 [Hartford]
01:43:56 What's your opinion of modern art,
01:43:59 It's not my area of expertise,
01:44:03 - I really don't consider myself
01:44:08 Just because
01:44:11 that doesn't mean I'm only capable
01:44:14 [Guests Chuckle]
01:44:16 Oh. Do you hate modern art
01:44:21 Squiggly lines, empty canvases,
01:44:25 So, the next book will deal
01:44:28 We need money, Mrs. Hartford.
01:44:31 We...
01:44:35 - [Dishes Clatter]
01:44:38 You have no idea
01:44:41 just to obtain the same rights
01:44:45 My funding has been slashed, and my name
01:44:50 in every newspaper and magazine
01:44:55 Every dollar I've ever earned has...
01:45:01 [Clears Throat] Every dollar I've ever
01:45:05 But fighting this customs case has cost us
01:45:10 - Dr. Kinsey...
01:45:12 I'm not even sure
01:45:15 Help me.
01:45:18 Well, I'm very sorry.
01:45:20 Any support I give might be misconstrued
01:45:26 I can't afford that kind of exposure.
01:45:28 I see.
01:45:30 But I'm sure something
01:45:37 [Bird Calling]
01:45:50 You're right.
01:45:54 Took them five minutes
01:45:59 - I'm taking you to the hospital.
01:46:03 No. No more beds.
01:46:06 I spent my whole childhood
01:46:17 Let's go back to the hotel, Mac.
01:46:20 I wanna pick up a few histories
01:46:25 [Groans]
01:46:28 [Groans]
01:46:29 [Woman] We'd been married for 23 years,
01:46:34 And as soon as my youngest
01:46:37 I took a job in an arts foundation.
01:46:46 I met a woman there...
01:46:48 secretary in the grants office.
01:46:56 We became fast friends, and...
01:47:03 before long,
01:47:10 Hmm. This came as quite a shock,
01:47:16 The more I tried to ignore it...
01:47:18 the more... powerful it became.
01:47:26 You have no idea...
01:47:29 what it's like
01:47:31 turn against you like that.
01:47:35 I couldn't talk to anyone
01:47:38 so I found other ways to cope.
01:47:46 [Sniffles]
01:47:51 Eventually, my husband left me.
01:47:55 Even my children fell away.
01:48:00 [Voice Breaking]
01:48:09 It's just another reminder
01:48:11 things have changed in our society.
01:48:15 What are you talking about?
01:48:20 Oh? What happened?
01:48:24 Why, you did, of course.
01:48:26 After I read your book, I realized...
01:48:29 how many other women
01:48:33 I mustered the courage
01:48:36 and she told me,
01:48:41 that the feelings were mutual.
01:48:45 We-We've been together
01:49:07 You saved my life, sir.
01:49:19 [Martin]
01:49:21 You'vejust told me your entire history...
01:49:24 childhood, family, career...
01:49:27 every person you've ever had sex with...
01:49:29 but there hasn't been
01:49:32 That's because it's impossible
01:49:36 And as you know, without measurements,
01:49:41 But I've been thinking a lot
01:49:44 Oh. Problem?
01:49:46 When it comes to love,
01:49:51 So, you do think it matters?
01:50:02 What time's our flight, Mac?
01:50:04 Not for a couple of hours.
01:50:06 Let's stop in the woods.
01:50:11 [Woodpecker Drumming]
01:50:24 [Birds Chirping]
01:50:36 [Bird Shrieks]
01:50:41 [Bird Calls Continue]
01:51:11 Mac?
01:51:16 I'm right here, Prok.
01:51:22 Just imagine...
01:51:24 these trees
01:51:27 Hence the name:
01:51:31 always green, always alive.
01:51:41 Mac, did I ever tell you
01:51:45 No, not that I recall.
01:51:49 They're an ancient East African tribe.
01:51:52 They believe that trees
01:51:55 eternally bemoaning
01:51:58 the roots that keep them
01:52:05 But I've never seen
01:52:09 Look at this one... the way its roots
01:52:14 I believe it really loves it.
01:52:26 Come on, Mac.
01:52:31 What's the hurry?
01:52:33 There's a lot of work to do.
