What The Media Won’t Tell You About The Sexual Revolution


Was the sexual revolution based on real science?
No. Alfred Kinsey, called the father of the modern sexual revolution, built his 1948 and 1953 reports on unscientific and often abusive data collection, studying convicted sex offenders and prisoners rather than well-adjusted people. Dr. Judith Reisman, author of Stolen Honor Stolen Innocence, says his handprints are on the sex education and laws that followed. The claim that anything goes sexually rests on distorted data.
The ‘Sexual Revolution’ is widely viewed as one of our culture’s great achievements. Supporters rejoice in the freedom to do whatever pleases them sexually. They even say science proves it’s a basic part of human nature.
But many of the foundations of this philosophy are based on lies and distorted data.
The Judeo-Christian sexual beliefs that had been so deeply a part of our society have been shattered. Definitions of ‘normal’ sexuality seem to change on a whim.
What happened to create such major changes? Who came up with these dangerous ideas?
Alfred Kinsey is known as the ‘Father of the Modern Sexual Revolution’. His two books published in 1948 and 1953, known as the Kinsey Reports, were filled with startling claims that opened up new concepts about sexuality.
Kinsey said that humans were sexual from birth and what we deemed as immoral sexual behavior was actually normal, making it moral.

The Many Flaws OF Kinsey’s Reports
But Kinsey’s findings had some major problems. They were based on lies and data collection methods that were unscientific and often horribly abusive, especially on babies and young children.
According to Dr. Tony Beam, Director of the Christian Worldview Center,
“Instead of studying normal, well-adjusted, emotionally stable men, Kinsey studied convicted sex offenders, prisoners, and a cadre of assorted sexual perverts.”
Kinsey’s project even involved a World War II Nazi officer, Dr. Fritz von Balluseck, who raped hundreds of children.

Sue Ellin Browder wrote in Crisis Magazine that “Implicit in Kinsey’s report was the notion that these behaviors were biologically ‘normal’ and hurt no one. Therefore, people should act on their impulses with no inhibition or guilt.”
A year after his book on female sexuality came out, “Kinsey himself complained that almost no scientist outside of a few of his best friends continued to defend him.”
But despite the lies and fraud, Kinsey’s report found many willing believers. His opinions became the first steps toward the new social viewpoint about ‘unrepressed sexuality’.
Dr. Judith Reisman, PhD., author of Stolen Honor Stolen Innocence, said, “That became the foundation for the sex educational structure that fed itself into what we are teaching our children right now.”
Dr. Reisman continued, “And of course it was the foundation of all the changes in our laws – the sodomy laws, the abortion laws, everything else. I mean, he’s there. His handprints are on everything that deals with sexuality.”

The Effects Of The Kinsey Reports
Although it has been 70 years since Kinsey’s first book, his impact remains. Hugh Hefner became a strong follower and stated that he would become ‘Kinsey’s pamphleteer’. He would later create Playboy magazine, which reflected Kinsey’s ideas.

Kinsey’s philosophy can be seen in almost everything in our society. For example,
- It has affected our legal system by reducing the penalty for sexual crimes and legalizing abortion.
- The media promotes his views to our educational system and our children.
- The drug industry has benefited by making products for the rise in STDs, sexual enhancers, and the morning-after pill.
- The increase in divorce and sexual crimes.
Jan LaRue, Concerned Women for America’s chief counsel, said, “The ongoing tragedy is that courts and legislatures continue to cite this crackpot’s junk science as justification for creating ‘rights’ and decriminalizing sexual offenses.”

Browder noted, “When Kinsey tore the mystery of love from human sexuality, he abandoned us all to a sexually broken world.”
Dr. Reisman said,
“I want a Congressional investigation of Kinsey. At some point, we may, in fact, be able to get the public to be aware that they’ve been raped. The whole nation has been raped. That is what’s happened to us. We have been raped and you cannot expect to survive a rape without a great deal of illness, pain, and trauma and we’ve gone through it. Now that we’ve gone through it, we’ve got to find a way to get out of it.”
We Can’t Simply Blame Kinsey
As much as you may like to, you cannot place all the blame for the current state of pornography and sexual immorality only on his shoulders. You also can’t blame him for your own struggle with porn.
Saying “It’s Kinsey’s fault” does not relieve you of the responsibility of confronting your own porn addiction. If it was that easy, you would have been free a long time ago.
Dr. Ted Roberts, former Pastor and Marine fighter pilot, explains in the Conquer Series that a struggle with pornography for many men is not about sex.
“It’s about how you’ve learned to medicate the pain in your life.”
Men who are in the midst of struggling with porn often don’t realize that what they need is a process to help them identify that pain and bring God’s healing to it.

How did the sexual revolution change American law?
Its fingerprints are all over the legal system. Penalties for sexual crimes were reduced, sodomy laws and abortion laws were rewritten, and courts and legislatures have kept citing the same discredited junk science as justification for creating rights and decriminalizing sexual offenses. The same ideas moved through media into the education system, and the drug industry profited from rising STDs and related products.
Where did the idea that anything goes sexually come from?
From two reports published in 1948 and 1953 claiming humans are sexual from birth and that behavior long considered immoral was in fact normal, and therefore moral. Implicit in the findings was the notion that these behaviors were biologically normal and hurt no one, so people should act on their impulses with no inhibition or guilt. Judeo-Christian sexual ethics were shattered in the process.
What was wrong with the data behind those reports?
The collection methods were unscientific and often horribly abusive, especially toward babies and young children. Instead of studying normal, well-adjusted, emotionally stable men, the research drew on convicted sex offenders and prisoners, and the project even involved a World War II Nazi officer who had raped hundreds of children. A year after the second report, almost no scientist still defended it.
Is the porn industry to blame for my addiction?
No, and neither is the sexual revolution. You cannot place the blame for your own struggle with porn on anyone else's shoulders, and saying it is someone else's fault does not relieve you of the responsibility to confront it. If blame worked, you would have been free a long time ago. Excuses will not set you free, but there is real help that will.
If porn addiction is not about sex, what is it about?
For many men it is about how they have learned to medicate the pain in their lives, which is why it survives every promise to stop. Men in the middle of the struggle often do not realize that what they need is a process to identify that pain and bring God's healing to it. That is what the Conquer Series walks men through, in over one hundred countries.
