Alfred C. Kinsey’s scientific contributions

... Роздуми А. Кінсі та його колег вперше були представлені у книзі «Статева поведінка самця людини» в 1948 році та доповнені у праці «Статева поведінка самки людини», опублікованій у 1953 році. На основі цих поглядів вони розробили шкалу сексуальних уподобань, яка враховувала проміжні градації між точками «виключно гомосексуальні» та «виключно гетеросексуальні»: виключно різностатеві; переважно гетеросексуальні, випадково гомосексуальні; переважно гетеросексуальні, але частіше гомосексуальні; в рівній мірі гетеросексуальні і гомосексуальні; переважно гомосексуальні, але більше, ніж випадково, гетеросексуальні; переважно гомосексуальні, лише випадково гетеросексуальні; виключно гомосексуальні; відсутні соціально-сексуальні контакти і реакції, тобто асексуальні [5]. У підсумку, теорія А. Кінсі зазнала чимало критики, позаяк не відображала загальної думки тогочасного суспільства. ...

... This view echoes the dominant conceptual framework prevalent before the 1960s-70s, which systematically disregarded women's sexual subjectivity (MacKinnon, 1989). This perspective was gradually challenged by empirical findings from Kinsey et al. (1953) and Masters and Johnson (1966), which revealed that women are no less sexually agentic than men. ...

... Contemporary understandings of sexual orientation have evolved beyond discrete categories like straight, gay, or bisexual. Pioneering work by Kinsey et al. (1948Kinsey et al. ( , 1953 introduced the idea that sexual orientation exists on a bipolar, unidimensional continuum, ranging from exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual. More recent scholarship has expanded this view, suggesting that sexual orientation is multidimensional, encompassing cognition, affect, and behaviors (Berkey et al., 1990). ...

... Participants that sent back the questionnaire with a signed informed consent form were then scheduled for a 30-min test at their convenience.

Participants received full subject pool credit after completing the test. ...

Entretanto, os termos "sociossexualidade" e "orientação sociossexual" apresentam outras conceituações e são definidos como comportamentos sexuais desprovidos ou não de compromisso social e conexão emocional (Stoppa, 2018, p. 64), foram apresentados pelo biólogo Alfred Kinsey (1894Kinsey ( -1956, em seus estudos sobre comportamentos sexuais no macho e na fêmea humanos (Kinsey et al., 1948(Kinsey et al., , 1953.

... Books similar to the ones Dr. Kershnar and Dr. Walker have written are nothing new; historical texts speaking about the paraphilia of pedophilia have been around for quite some time, with some of the most cited being Man and Woman, Boy and Girl: Differentiation and Dimorphism of Gender Identity from Conception to Maturity (Money & Ehrhardt, 1972), Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (Kinsey, Pomeroy, & Martin, 1998), and Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (Kinsey, Pomeroy, & Martin, 2003). Mirjam Heine, a German medical student, stated in her Ted Talk that "pedophilia is an unchangeable sexual orientation, just like… heterosexuality" (Nelson, 2020). ...

... Blanchard and colleagues (2012) explored the complex nature of sexual attraction by comparing two distinct models: one focusing on the level of attraction to specific traits (e.g., age, gender), and the other focusing on the level of attraction to global morphological similarities of individuals. Phallometric measures conducted on a sample of 2,278 men suggested men react sexually by regarding other humans as points along a single bipolar dimension of physical similarity (like the Kinsey Scale of erotic age preference; Kinsey, Pomeroy, & Martin, 1948); this dimension positions adult men at one end, children who have not reached puberty near the center, and adult women at the opposite end. The results provide evidence for a continuum of sexual attraction that incorporates both specific traits like age and gender, as well as more global morphological similarities. ...

... Tanto las personas heterosexuales como homosexuales reportaron fantasías que no siempre coincidían con su orientación sexual autodeclarada. Este hallazgo, ya observado por Kinsey et al. (1998aKinsey et al. ( , 1998b, sugiere que la orientación sexual fluctúa en un espectro más amplio que las categorías tradicionales. En línea con Dorais (2015), los resultados muestran que la orientación sexual «se refiere a las atracciones identitarias, deseos o comportamientos sexuales de un individuo, en función de su género y del de sus parejas, ya sean reales o imaginarias» (Dorais, 2015, p. 42). ...
