Maybe the most famous at the time of his work, though, was his 1948 book, Sexual Behavior and the Human Male, and his later book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Female, which are often called the Kinsey Reports, which offered groundbreaking analysis.
The best things said about it
Kinsey wrote in his book sexual behavior in the human female that the reason a girl is traumatized when she's abused when she's underage is because the parents made a big deal out of it and not because of what actually happened.
Why people recommend it
Sexual Behavior in the Human Female by Alfred Charles Kinsey, Wardell Baxter Pomeroy, Clyde E. Martin, and Paul H. Gebhard is a landmark 1953 scientific study that broke social taboos by detailing the sexual habits and realities of American women. On Behind the Bastards, Margaret Killjoy discussed Kinsey’s later female-focused work alongside his earlier 1948 volume on male sexual behavior, collectively known as the Kinsey Reports, describing them as groundbreaking analyses for their time. Conversely, on Timcast IRL, Hannah Claire Brimlow brought up the book to highlight controversial and harmful historical ideas associated with the author. She noted that Kinsey had written in Sexual Behavior in the Human Female that a girl's trauma from underage abuse stemmed from the parents making a big deal out of the situation rather than the actual abusive event itself. Together, these podcast references capture the complex legacy of the Kinsey Reports, acknowledging both their pioneering role in modern sexology and empirical research as well as the deeply troubling and heavily criticized assertions embedded within their historical pages.
