Kinsey Page #4

If I can't get to sleep...

I like to close my eyes...

and think of all theJohns I know.

Oh.

Well, not onlyJohns.

Sometimes Peters.

How about D*cks?

I'm sorry?

If you're here to enroll

in Dr. Kinsey's class...

If you're here to enroll

in Dr. Kinsey's class...

it's only open to faculty members

and their wives, graduate students...

seniors and married undergraduates.

Come back and try in the spring.

Are you a senior?

Um, we're engaged.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Why offer a marriage course?

Because society has interfered...

with what should be

a normal biological development...

causing a scandalous delay

of sexual activity...

which leads to sexual difficulty

in early marriage.

In an uninhibited society, a 12-year-old

would know most of the biology...

which I will have to give you

in formal lectures.

So, let's start with the six stages

of the coital sequence.

Stimulation...

lubrication, erection...

increased sensitivity...

orgasm and nervous release.

Both sexes experience

all six stages equally.

Stimulation.

Who can tell me

which part of the human body...

can enlarge a hundred times?

Um... miss.

I'm sure I don't know.

And you've no right to ask me

such a question in a mixed class.

I was referring to the pupil

of your eye, young lady.

And I think I should tell you you're in

for a terrible disappointment.

It is often with the eye

that stimulation begins.

The actual adjustments which are made

in the male and female genitalia...

are shown on this slide.

The vagina must be spread open...

as the erect male organ penetrates.

You will see

that the clitoris is swollen...

thus providing

the erotic stimulation necessary...

for the completion of the act

on the part of the female.

You will also see

that this point on the penis...

which is one of the most sensitive points,

is similarly stimulated.

Ohh!

Where on earth did you get that cap?

Oh. Professor Kinsey. I'm sorry.

It's a whaler's hat.

Not very pretty,

but extremely practical in a storm.

- Do I know you?

- I'm in your marriage course. Clyde Martin.

How are you finding it, Mr. Martin?

Oh, it's the most enlightening class

I've ever taken.

Well, I'd better get going. I've got

a job interview at the zoology department.

Forget that. Come with me.

All right.

Don't worry. Dr. Kinsey will be staying late.

He'll get to all of you.

Can too much sex cause cancer?

Will wearing high heels

make me sterile?

I think my vagina's abnormally shaped.

Can you get syphilis from a whistle?

Is homosexuality a form of insanity?

I think about my cat.

A lot!

Does su-s-s-suppressing sex...

lead to stuttering?

Is my penis smaller than most?

Does too much masturbation

cause premature ejaculation?

Is it unusual for my boyfriend

to touch my anus?

All excellent questions.

They all have the same answer...

I don't know.

From a sexual standpoint,

it's hard to say what's common or rare...

because we know so little

about what people actually do.

This leaves most of us

feeling anxious or guilty.

Am I interested in the right things?

Do I do things the normal way?

One of the ways of finding out

what people do...

is to find out what they've done.

So please, take the time to fill out

these sex questionnaires.

Try to be as accurate and honest

as you possibly can.

This will only work...

Pass them along, please.

This will only work

if you tell the truth.

Dr. Kinsey, this is really... amazing.

These colors are incredible.

It's the most complete collection

east of the Mississippi.

We have over 250

separate varieties of irises.

Good work, Martin, but you're using

the wrong muscle group.

Come on. Here.

Bend the legs. Use the thighs.

- Okay.

- The arms should only be used to guide.

No, you do it. Guide.

Ah!

Lemonade.

Mac, these responses will floor you.

The gap between what we assume

people do and what they actually do...

is enormous.

You know what amazes me?

There's no relation between

how sexy a girl looks and her sex life.

The ugly ones

seem to get all the action.

I always thought "ugly"

was an ugly word.

Sorry.

Not only does every male in the class

have a history of masturbation.

Most of the women do too.

That doesn't surprise me.

What about premarital sex?

About a third of the married men

claim at least one experience.

- It's only one in 10 for the women.

- If they're telling the truth.

And there's extramarital sex too.

Not just heterosexual,

but homosexual.

I just wish we could get

more volunteers.

A hundred cases

is hardly representative.

Maybe it's because it's a questionnaire.

Feels too much like homework or a test.

I agree. Also, people don't know

if they can trust you.

- They have to be sure their secrets are safe.

- But that's ridiculous.

Everyone knows I keep those questionnaires

under lock and key.

Clyde has a point.

You're asking people to reveal

information that's very sensitive...

possibly even damaging.

What if you just talked to them?

Then all their secrets

would be in your head.

Martin, you should have

spoken up months ago.

I can't tell.

Was that a compliment?

Yes, I think it was.

People resist at first.

But I'm trying to choreograph

the questions...

so they'll be disarmed into answering.

- How many different things

have you put in there, Daddy?

- It's the Kinsey stew, sweetie.

"Clean out the refrigerator" night,

you mean.

Martin's been surprisingly helpful.

He's an ideal practice subject, since he's

had relations with both men and women.

- Where have you been?

- Swim practice.

- How'd it go?

- Pretty good.

- Coach said he might start me at the next meet.

- Bruce, that's wonderful.

I told you there won't be any more swimming

unless your science grades improve.

I can't help it, Dad. I hate biology.

That's because you have never

developed your intellect.

Physical activity is important, Son...

but your interest in sports

is excessive.

Yes. Maybe he should

take up engineering instead.

The one-on-one

is turning out to be so elastic.

Talking to people yields more information

than I ever imagined.

I think it will prove to be

a groundbreaking technique.

What if they make things up?

That's what I'd do.

I'm building in little trip wires

to catch lies and inconsistencies.

- Would you like to take my sex history, Daddy?

- Do you have a sex history?

No.

What about you, Anne?

You've been dating Jim for a while now.

We've done some petting.

I figured we wouldn't

try intercourse until college.

That's probably better.

If Anne can have intercourse,

I should be able to too.

Your sister's 18

and seriously involved with someone.

Does it hurt?

- What, dear?

- Breaking the hymen.

Oh...

just a little...

it's nothing too bad.

It helps if you spread the vulva

to facilitate penetration.

Can we please talk

about something else for once?

Other families don't do this.

It isn't normal.

When did you become such a prig?
