Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, Volume 1

3.6/5 ( ratings)

This is The Kinsey Report, the famous work that almost everybody has heard of, but almost nobody has read. There are actually two Kinsey reports, one for the human male and human female. The Report on the human female addresses the hot topic of what percentage of all married women commit adultery. Another weighty question is: What percentage of East Coast Farm Boys have ever had sex with a cow. I will not tell you the answer to that one except to say that it is a lot higher than West Coast Farm Boys because out there they have girls for that. Because the Kinsey reports are lengthy they have each been divided into two volumes. Volume one of this book, "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male," is about the history and method of this study and the Factors of Sexual Outlet, such as age, marital stratus and religion. Volume two is about sources of Sexual Outlet, including masturbation, pre-marital intercourse, marital intercourse, extra-marital intercourse, sex with animals and homosexuality. It includes the most famous and much disputed finding of this book, which is that 10% of all men are homosexual. This study was first published in 1948 and was based on interviews of only 8,000 men. In spite of the small number of participants, subsequent studies by many others have verified these results. Perhaps the most surprising of these subsequent studies is that studiers of vastly different human groups, such as Chinese, Africans and Native American Indians have produced similar results. This proves that all humans regardless of cultural grouping have about the same sexual habits. Kinsey, a Professor of Zoology, goes even further than that. He finds that not only are all humans similar but we are similar to other primates including gorillas and chimpanzees, who have about the same sexual habits.
