Alfred Kinsey conducted large scale interviews on sexual behaviors. Though his interviews were grounds breaking they did have some flaws, he mostly interviews were white educated middle class, prisoners in jail and prostitutes which caused him to have a sampling bias. Kinsey wrote a few books which are considered to be classics in the study of human sexuality.
We watched the 2004 film Kinsey in class which gave Kinsey story of how he came to be interested in studying human sexual behavior. Watching this film it reminded me of how up tight or how little was known about sex during Kinsley`s time. When it came to sex, today we are so open about sexual relations weather talking about it with our friends, or the majority of shows on t.v. have some sexual content; you can also drive through a town like Red Deer in a matter of 3 blocks there is 3 sex shops. The norm of the view of sex since the time in which this video was portraying have changed incredibly, we are all so educated about sex and I would also guess that seventy percent of people don`t wait till marriage to engage in sexual activity
Kinsey educated people that there is no such thing as sexual normalcy
