Funny how sadomasochistic rapists are heroes, while moral people are not only prudes, but tyrannical prudes....

No Dicking Around: Bill Condon's movie about Kinsey is warm -- and plenty hot, too

This alternative weekly newspaper had a review for Kinsey and said that it was "non-judgemental", yet it sounds like much is done to demonize anyone who would speak of morals.

He lives under the thumb of a proselytizing pop (John Lithgow), who believes everything made by man leads to sin -- especially the zipper, which provides "speedy access to moral oblivion." Kinsey's father, we discover later, has his understandable reasons for believing sex a deviant's pastime; Condon, as tolerant and compassionate as his subject, is not beyond trying to understand how a man becomes a monster.

[snip]

Among his students is Clara "Mac" McMillen (Laura Linney), who fancies the professor but believes him "too churchy." Theirs is a cool courtship that culminates in wedding-night lovemaking more akin to wrestling than sex. Watching the pain on her face, and the humiliation on his, is almost too much to bear, but Condon doesn't pull back or grimace or, yes, even judge.

The writer claims that the Kinsey's had awkward sex when they both lost virginity on their wedding night. "Certainly" wouldn't have had anything to do with Alfred's preference of male sexual encounters, now would it?
