DISINFO: Alfred Kinsey’s 1948 report on sexuality was designed to promote the most deviant sexual behaviour

SUMMARY

Alfred Kinsey’s 1948 report on sexuality was designed to promote the most deviant sexual behaviour. The report gave birth to the sexual revolution, which upset and overturned all values. Kinsey himself was a homosexual maniac who raped dozens of children. The sexual revolution that was born of this theory will upset and overthrow all Western values. In January 2018, UNESCO published its recommendations on sexual education in which it places great emphasis on the right to enjoy the pleasures of flesh.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory. Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative portraying the West as a decadent, and immoral society that destroys traditional values and promotes deviant sexual behaviour. The Kinsey Reports, two scholarly books on human sexual behaviour, written by Alfred Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy, Clyde Martin and Paul Gebhard published respectively in 1948 and 1951 were controversial among the general public simply because they challenged conventional beliefs about sexuality and because they discussed subjects that had previously been taboo. The aim of the UNESCO publication was not to promote the pleasures of the flesh but to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to make responsible choices in their lives.
