Abstract:
When Alfred Kinsey's studies Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female were published more than half a century ago, their findings shattered any Victorian misconceptions of sex in the United States. According to the research-compiled from some 18,000 testimonials-37 percent of U.S. men (and 13 percent of women) had had at least one homosexual experience, while 62 percent of women (and 92 percent of men) masturbated. Premarital sex was common. Half of married men and a quarter of married women had cheated on their spouses.
