Alfred Kinsey

Alfred Charles Kinsey (Hoboken, N.J., 23 juni 1894 - Bloomington, 25 augustus 1956) was een Amerikaans bioloog en seksuoloog die aan de wieg stond van de seksuele revolutie. Alfred Kinsey studeerde biologie aan Bowdoin College en Harvard Universiteit en promoveerde op een proefschrift over de studie van de galwespen. Tijdens deze studies werd hij geconfronteerd met gradaties in seksueel gedrag, die later de basis zouden vormen van zijn onderzoek en publicaties naar de menselijke seksualiteit. Tijdens zijn studies had hij zich radicaal afgekeerd van het methodistisch geloof, waarin hij streng en liefdeloos was opgevoed. Lees meer op Wikipedia
