I have "Kinsey - Crimes and Consequences" on my bookshelf, a textbook example of a pseudoscientist whose life's work was meant to justify his own perverse lifestyle. It is amazing that so many people ate up his books back in the fifties and sixties. I have little difficulty believing that the money for this came from certain interested parties.
"Gods and Monsters"? I think Condons agenda is pretty obvious.
Harry Knowles' reviews from aintitcoolnews.com already say that this film has footage of a penis touching a vagina in an R rated film (all ages with adult supervision).
After seeing Kill Bill get an R (with only minor edits and black & white editing of a bloodbath scene), the MPAA seems to be pushing the barriers again.
Same here. The man was a monster and his own research notes prove it easily.
I spent years investigating pedophiles. They look upon Kinsey is their god.
Perverts defending (and denying) child molestation in the IMDB forum:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362269/board/nest/13014211
There has been clear-headed scientific debunking of Kinsey over the years. He massively faked his results, with only one example being the grotesque over-estimating the percentage of homosexuals in the general population.
Oversampled statistic (from prisoners) much as Zogby and the MSM did this year in election polls.
I don't deny what you're saying about Kinsey, but it would be false to deny that sexual arousal/stimulation is part of even a child's experience, and this is WITHOUT perversion or corruption due to outside forces.
I'm sure any number of people on this site could give examples from their life of kids they've seen(or were) that somehow were sexual, even if it was a very innocent and experimental act--and NEVER with adults.
That is not to justify or defend Kinsey's research or conclusions, merely to point out that children are not sexual tabula rasa who activate at puberty. This is well-known, I would hope, by now.
Kinsey faked this and many other studies.
I think people are objecting to the idea of doing "experiments" to "prove" that notion.
{{{{insert retching sounds}}}}}......ping
And that is objectionable.
I just wanted to dispell the notion that many have, as an overreaction to discovery of this fact(for instance, kids playing "doctor" or the like) may lead to psychological problems down the road.
But yes, relying on "experiments" by pedophiles would be reprehensible. I just hope that this is fact and is well-documented by someone who isn't merely motivated to discredit Kinsey and his 'impact' on society. Truth always, even above politics or your beliefs.
Nonsense, this is a reality across cultural and temporal boundaries.
And as an aside, a child could easily walk in on their parents doing the "do" and "ape" that behavior and never see "pop culture."
You are making something quite innocent(in the minds of the children) into something sinister. Even my girlfriend knew of a girl who was less than 2 years old that incessantly touched herself. It's not from any "pop culture" but from some rudimentary sexuality or physical sensation.
And it doesn't mean that EVERY child experiences or knows of these things at that age or before puberty. But if some do, it need not be anything sinister or for you to overreact to.
I came up in an age long before heavy sexuality on TV or in movies and somehow experimented as a child in a basic sense.
I grew up to be fine and adults were never a factor in any of this.
You want a sexualized youth and you reject my own, empirical eyewitness evidence. Fine. The modern world is yours.
For parents who want to avoid the damage you deny - but that is very real, shoot your TV and homeschool your children. Choose their friends carefully. Trust no one. Pray often.
baby, bathwater, what's the diff?
According to the Kinsey report
ev'ry average man you know
much prefers to play his favorite sport
when the temperature is low
but when the thermometer goes way up
and the weather is sizzling hot
Mister Adam for his madam is not
cause it's too too
it's too darn hot, it's too darn hot
It's too too too too darn hot
UH goofball, how could a child of less than 2 who watches Barney and the like be "sexualized" by pop culture?
Who wants a "sexualized youth?"
I'm not talking about 6 year olds wearing thongs or acting like Britney Spears, genius. I'm talking about much more primal and normal human sexuality that is present even at an early age.
You have empirical eyewitness evidence? Uh, what do you call my own personal experience and eyewitness evidence?
You're the kind who is not interested in truth and you'll invent your opponent's position because even a small concession to reality, one which you fear for irrational reasons, is too much to bear.
I never justified or defended Kinsey, his experiments, or the sexualization of our youth. I merely stated the facts and tried to inject some balance before the wingnuts like you joined in with your truth-deficient hysteria.
Your name calling simply confirms your (lack of) position. You deny the impact society and culture have on sexualizing youth. I know of my own experience that it has a huge impact. I've seen youth raised in the modern culture engaging in sex acts at an age that is shocking. I've also seen my own children and others raised in familes that reject and restrict 'pop culture' and have NOT seen such acts.
As I said, you are welcome to your views and the modern world. I reject them. And I laugh at your silly name calling.
Do tell, are you a teacher?
