Dr. Kinsey

Saturday night we watched the Movie Kinsey, Everything You Need to Know About Sex. It was a little awkward to watch it with my parents, they just totally freaked out about how explicit the movie was. In the movie, Dr. Kinsey slept with his male student, then his students slept with Mrs. Kinsey, "this is outrageous, this movie is promoting Promiscuity! ........" said my pissed-off parents. I was confused as well, according to Kinsey, human beings are capable of expressing themselves sexually in many ways, and they should be able to do so freely without social restraints, no matter if it is heterosexual or homosexual, sex doesn't have to be enriched by emotion... but aren't the social retraint and emotional attachment supposed to seperate human beings from the other animals? if we can have sex with anyone we feel like to, what is so different between us and the chimpanzees? but we can't really blame Kinsey for it, as a physicist who had spent 20 years researching gallwasps, I guess he sees sex in a more physiological rather than social way.

Here is an excerpt of his lecture that I found rather interesting:

Why are some cows highly sexed, while others just stand there?Why do some men need 30 orgasms a week, and others almost none?Because everyone is different. The problem is, most people want to be the same. They find it easier to simply ignore this fundamental aspect of the human condition. They're so eager to be part of the group that they'll betray their own nature to get there.
