Chapter 60 The strict and polite Dr. Kinsey

Kinsey was invited by the school to teach courses on sex and marriage because of his conservatism and integrity. Unexpectedly, he ignited the fire of the sexual revolution. In 1937, Indiana University in the United States had to select a teacher to teach courses on sex and marriage based on the needs of facts.The school made three selections and four selections, and finally selected a teacher who was widely respected for his honesty, integrity and conservativeness. He was the famous Dr. Kinsey who later became a master of sexology. Kinsey was originally a strict, polite, and even rather boring gentleman. He was a professor of biology who specialized in insects. In twenty years, he traveled 80,000 miles and collected four million wasps.He was neither warm nor considerate to his wife. Once when they were traveling in the country, the wife met a snake and called Kinsey to act as a hero to save the beauty. But Kinsey was busy collecting insects and only shouted from a distance. : Kill it yourself!

When accepting the teaching position assigned by the school, he knew much more about wasp sexual behavior than human sexual behavior, but in order to live up to his mission, he used his familiar methods of observing and analyzing insect behavior to cooperate with the newly developed Statistics, and began collecting data for his courses, which was Kinsey's original motivation for investigating American sexuality. According to the recollections of an aide who worked with Kinsey on the sex investigation, Kinsey once told him that he (Kinsey) had a friend in college who confided in him the secret that he had been masturbating and was deeply distressed by it.The young Kinsey immediately suggested to the friend, and the two knelt together in prayer, hoping that God would give him enough self-control to end this sinful practice.

From these facts we can more or less understand that Dr. Kinsey in the average person's mind is quite conservative, at least in certain stages of life. And such a conservative person later exposed the hypocrisy of Americans in terms of sex with his scrupulous investigation report, and ignited the fire of the sexual revolution. This can be regarded as an irony of history!
