The Kinsey Report has ended an era of hush and pretense. Like Darwin's great work which made evolution a controversial subject for a century, it has been an astounding revelation- especially disturbing to readers unaccustomed to the scientific approach.
It has revealed facts, hitherto unknown or unpublished, on the prevailing sexual habits, the sexual experience, and the sexual capacity of American males in all walks of life. It includes statistics on sexual activity from childhood to old age, and on the amazing variety of sexual behavior patterns of various ages and in various groups of American society. It raises questions of special importance to workers in fields concerned with human behavior.
The editors of Signet Books present this commentary on the Kinsey Report in the hope that the findings will be better appreciated, and their implications better understood, by average Americans.
Readers who are unaware of the facts revealed in the Kinsey Report are invited to consider this book with fair and open minds.« less
