Just because this woman is an uneducated prude, doesn't make Kinsey a fraud.
Here's an example from Dr. Reismans website
"Pornography triggers a myriad of endogenous, internal, natural drugs that mimic the "high" from a street drug."
While pornography may lead to the release of these chemicals, it is not the 'cause' persay.
Those chemicals are called endorphins. They are released during sexual arousal and climax. That would be ANY sexual arousal, whether you're a prudish Christian 'Dr.' (of communications) having sex with your husband, or a gay, bi, straight person having monogamous sex or an illicit affair. Same chemicals for ALL human beings.
Kinsey was not studying whether all these sexual acts and 'biological feelings' were moral, immoral, part of love etc. He was studying and reporting on what people WERE DOING at the time, and how it felt to their bodies, not neccesarily how it felt to their psyche. He did not condone performing sex acts against someones will, including children.
Some of the text from his book could be construed as misleading.
Kinsey wrote about pre-adolescent orgasms using data in tables 30 to 34 of the male volume, which report observations of orgasms in over three-hundred children between the ages of five months and fourteen years...
Does it say HE witnessed these orgasms? No. Some were witnessed by pedophiles he interviewed, yes. Some were witnessed by parents. Some were recollections of victims of childhood sexual abuse. Did you know it's normal for young children to masturbate? Were these children abused, molested, or witness to sex acts. For the most part, no. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that Amish children touch their bodies and feel some pleasure from it, until 'caught' by their parents and shamed for it.
Anyone can take any text from ANY book, study etc. and twist it to fit their beliefs. I'm guessing I could read the bible and find a passage somewhere that could indicate to me that I should listen to punk rock music, get a tattoo and have premarital sex with another consenting adult.
As long as everyone follows the moral guidline of not doing something against someones will, how does it affect YOU what 2 (or more) consenting adults do in private? How does same sex marriage affect YOUR marriage. I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Reisman is tied to the "Knights of Malta" or the right-hegelian flank. They are obsessed with sex and thus explains their obsession with homo's and other sexual "oddities" in nature.
Lets note, Kinsey never said they were the norm nor put a "affirmative" % on them. He needed a lot more data and he was pretty much pushed down. A big reason because he was digging up stuff these right-hegelians didn't want out and expose them.
Thus the Rockefeller Foundation cut off the money and that was it.
