Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Despite its intimidating subtitle, this is an immensely useful and informative compendium. Writing with Beasley, former assistant director of the Kinsey Institute, syndicated columnist Reinisch, director of the Institute, presents her responses to hundreds of queries addressed to the Institute. Coverage ranges from the ABCs of making love to discussions of emotional commitment, sexual dysfunction, contraception, homosexuality and sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. There is a section on puberty written for young adults, as well as material of special interest to parents, couples with problems conceiving, people over 50 and the disabled. Supplemented by illustrations and diagrams, this primer dispels misinformation and fears surrounding sexuality with responsible, frank, detailed advice. It includes the results of a Kinsey/Roper survey revealing widespread sexual ignorance nationwide. 100,000 first printing; $100,000 ad/promo; first serial to Woman; author tour.

5.0 out of 5 stars informative and well compiled, June 29, 2006
By

This review is from: The Kinsey Institute New Report On Sex (Paperback)
I must admit that I never heard about Kinsey and Kinsey Institute before watching the movie. At first I was intrigued by topics listed in table of contest and decided to buy the book. To my great surprise I got much more and I really mean a much more that I expected. Sex is always considered taboo and I think that is a very bad thing and this book will show you why. Just to give you small example. I heard thing that you can use Cola or any soda drink for douching, and in this book you learn not only that this is ineffective but even deadly !!!

I liked form that goes trough the book, real life question and then answer. One thing bothers me that this book had no review before and on the front page you can see "National bestseller". I'm just glade if it is, because my personal opinion is if you consider your self at least civilised you should read this book.
You will not find topics discussed here in other book's, which for me is surprise now. No book on raising your child will give you that good description of physical and psychological development of the child regarding sex related issues, and as a parent I'm really glad that I bought this book, because I could be frustrated and even do really big mistakes in child upbringing.

Considering part with adult topics it can be also indispensable help at putting your mind at ease and provide you with rational way of thinking.

Highly recommended read.

This review is from: The Kinsey Institute New Report On Sex (Paperback)
I wish I knew about this book back in High School. The Kinsey Report should have been required reading. This book begins with common misconceptions and a test about sex. Surprised by a less than perfect score I read the book cover to cover. The Kinsey Report is an A to Z book on sex and sexual health.

This review is from: The Kinsey Institute New Report On Sex (Paperback)
This book is a helpful source of statistical information on sex. It brings to light various aspects of sexuality not considered by the average person.
