Kinsey Page #8

We'll be taking the sex histories

or artists, writers and actors...

including the entire cast

of A Streetcar Named Desire.

We'll also be interviewing women

for our next book, which is a female study...

as well as meeting with our benefactors

at the Rockefeller Foundation.

Are you surprised

at the success of your book?

No. It shows that the worid

has wanted this done.

Any plans on a Hollywood picture

based on the book?

I can't think of anything more pointless.

What about you, Mrs. Kinsey?

Has your life changed much?

My husband's busier than ever.

I hardly see him since he's taken up sex.

What about

this female study, Mrs. Kinsey?

Gentlemen.

Gentlemen, gentlemen. Please.

If you want to write

about something useful...

I suggest you look into

the current sex offender codes.

The majority of sex offenders

in our prisons...

have nothing in their histories different

from the rest of the population.

Their only crime is being too poor

to hire a lawyer.

This is unfair.

Everybody's sin is nobody's sin.

And everybody's crime

is no crime at all.

"Everybody's sin is nobody's sin."

That wasn't my point at all.

The newspapers lift things out of context

to make sensational reading.

Still, it's hardly your place

to offer moral prescriptions.

You're sounding more like

a- a preacher than a scientist.

My father always hoped

I'd become a preacher.

And why do you insist on flaunting

your association with the foundation?

Haven't I just given you the best-selling

scientific volume ever published?

- Not only here but across the globe.

- Yes.

And it's casting a bright light

on every aspect of the project...

especially some

of your latest methodology.

Who have you been talking to?

- Well, I assume that most of it is gossip.

- Alan.

It's been said that, uh...

you've taken to observing women.

- Go on.

- In a heightened state of arousal.

It's true?

Yes. And do you know why?

We went to the leading gynecologists

and asked for physical measurements...

and they barely knew

what we were talking about.

When it comes to female sex organs...

we're all tragically ignorant.

Who are these women?

- Volunteers. Friends of the project.

- Prostitutes.

No. Prostitutes are useless.

They fake their orgasms.

- Jesus...

- Alan.

The sex histories we have

are invaluable.

Everyone knows true science

lies in direct observation.

Nothing can replace

what the eye can see directly.

- Or the camera.

- Camera?

Don't tell me.

Y- You're making movies?

Just some photographic studies

of mammalian behavior.

Oh. Nature films.

Animals.

Yes, if you like.

Gentlemen, you're about to meet

a truly rare creature.

Even the most casual contact

arouses a sexual response in her.

In intercourse,

her first orgasm occurs...

within two to five seconds after entry.

- All set there, Barbara?

- I think so.

Come on in.

- Hello.

- How do you do?

Did I mention that Barbara didn't have

her first orgasm until she was 40?

Notice how she gently strokes

the inner lips and the clitoris.

Eighty-four percent of our sample

stimulate themselves in this way.

What about the vagina?

For all but a small minority of women,

the vaginal tube is a dead cavity...

practically devoid of nerve endings.

As you can see,

the introduction of the penis...

does nothing to relocate

the source of stimulation...

even with as skillful a partner

as Pomeroy.

- That is you, isn't it?

- Last time I looked.

For years, women have been told that

a clitoral orgasm is immature, neurotic.

So they've struggled with great anxiety...

to relocate the orgasm in the vagina...

when, for many,

it's a biologic impossibility.

According to the psychoanalysts,

this woman is frigid.

Good news, everyone.

The Rockefeller Foundation

announced its annual grants today.

We've received $40,000

for the next year...

the highest grant they've ever bestowed

on a scientific project.

Well.

And they've agreed to underwrite

a new corporation...

making us future employees

of the Institute for Sex Research.

- To Dr. Kinsey.

- Hear! Hear!

- And Mrs. Kinsey.

- Hear! Hear!

And to our husbands...

the Fuller Brush men of sex.

Come here, my little prick nibbler.

Oh.

Come on. Everyone, enjoy yourselves.

Ah. You don't look happy.

No, I am. Really.

It's just that Clyde is going

to be away for so long this time.

Ah. Well, don't worry.

I'll keep an eye on him.

A lot of good that will do.

What are you trying to say,

Mrs. Martin?

God, you're pretty.

- Drink up your grapejuice, gentlemen.

We have gathered only 9,300 histories...

and we have

the female volume to complete.

Starting tomorrow,

we need to triple our efforts.

Well, it's still tonight, and since

my third leg keeps hittin'me in the face...

I think it's time for a tumble.

In the bonobo chimpanzee...

our nearest primate relation...

sex is the glue

of social cohesion and peace.

Cleared of notions like romantic love...

or religion or morality...

their society's behavior

hangs together...

as a coherent unit

ofbiology and conditioning.

Based on the experiences of females

who have contributed to our histories...

we have observed a wide range

of motivations for extramarital coitus.

At times, it is a conscious or unconscious

attempt to acquire social status.

In other instances,

it gives them a variety of experiences...

with new sexual partners who are sometimes

superior to their marriage partner.

There are occasions

when it is done in retaliation...

for the partner's

extramarital activity...

or for some sort

of nonsexual mistreatment.

Some females discover new sources

of emotional satisfaction...

while others find it impossible to share

such an intimate relationship...

with more than one partner.

We have also encountered

a considerable group of cases...

in which husbands encourage their wives

to engage in extramarital activities...

in an honest attempt

to give them the opportunity...

for additional sexual satisfaction.

I've corresponded with

this man for over 10 years, Pomeroy...

but I never thought he'd agree to meet.

He's amassed a lifetime of data.

Working for the Forestry Department

has involved a lot of traveling...

so I've met a wide array of people.

- By the way, my name is...

- Please. There's no need.

Kenneth Braun.

Don't worry, Dr. Kinsey.

I trust you.

We're actually a lot alike, you know.

- How so?

- I record everything too...

the depth of every vagina

I've encountered...

the length and circumference

of every penis...

the time to reach orgasm...

the distance of ejaculation.

I've written it all down.

This is the record of my...

my life's real work...

which is sex, by the way.

Um, I find that recording is a...

is a way to experience things

a second time, don't you?

I also have certain... rare abilities.

From a completely flaccid start...

I can become erect and ejaculate

in 10 seconds flat.

I'd say that's pretty much

physiologically impossible.
