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.

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 book is a helpful source of statistical information on sex. It brings to light various aspects of sexuality not considered by the average person.

alot of questions about the human female sexual body has been answered in this book it is a very informative and a must read for all who want to learn

I've been married twice and am 61 years old and had no idea on some of the survey questions what the answer was. It is interesting that they tell you a survey question - like, how many married men have cheated on their spouse - and then tell you the answer (25%) and who in their survey group got it right (urban, white, educated, upper income) and who got it wrong (rural, no college, older adults). Fascinating reading about sexual knowledge in America. This is not a sexual how-to, more like teaching you what is the truth about sexual things (like the section on male/female reproductive parts) and the information about their surveys - how many people they included, what was their background, how they did on the survey questions (right/wrong answers). I got my copy from the library but quickly realized it takes time to get through a book this thick and I'd like to have it on my shelf for my kids to read.
Updated from the old Kinsey research of the 1950's to 1990. Notice the author is a director of the Institute, not Kinsey himself (long since deceased).

Great seller, quick shipment. This is a great book for anybody that follows Kinsey's original work at Indiana University.

I'm a huge fan of Alfred Kinsey and the Kinsey Institute so I was very excited to read this book. It is just as great as the original reports.

I find that The Kinsey Institute New Report On Sex is very interesting and informative.
