Examines the work of the famed scientist who conducted the first mass survey of human sexual behavior and made sex acceptable to read and talk about. Alfred Kinsey's book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, published in 1948, concluded that the average man achieved peak virility at age 16 or 17 and steadily declined thereafter, and that homosexual acts were much more common than believed. In the early 1950s, many Americans were frightened that Communism was subverting the moral fabric of society, and Kinsey's funding to study perversions was withdrawn.
