Remarkably, however, the study of the reactions concludes by noting that the subject “will fight away from the partner and may make violent attempts to avoid climax, although they derive definite pleasure from the situation”. Does that sound like pleasure? It sounds like child sexual assault of the worst kind.
And as one pediatrician noted, “These children had to be held down or subject to strapping down, otherwise they would not respond willingly”.
Thus it is amazing that Hollywood should come out with this “hagiography” on Kinsey. We have such huge problems with child pornography right now, and our entertainment capital will simply compound the problem.

Indeed, the film will cover up a lot of details about Kinsey. For example, decades ago Kinsey renamed pedophilia as “cross-generational sexual contact”. And as mentioned already, Kinsey was quite happy to use pedophiles in his research on human sexuality. While the film will not mention these facts, for many of us, such revelations are nothing new. The dubious science of Dr Kinsey has been well documented in Judith Reisman’s book, Kinsey, Sex and Fraud.
Thus this film is Hollywood and the media elite at their worst. What this film seeks to do is defend Kinsey and his associates, while glossing over the fact that actual child abuse may have occurred. Defenders of the film (and of the Kinsey experiments) accuse us of being panic mongers. If concern about pedophilia is a sign of panic mongering, perhaps we need more of it. For the moment - until society becomes more “enlightened” - pedophilia is a criminal offence.
It is one thing to give a general defence of Kinsey. But for this film to ignore the serious charges being brought against Kinsey, especially the Table 34 material, is both offensive and frightening. A society that has become so desensitised that it can turn a pervert into entertainment material is a society that has lost its way.
