was curious to teach the world the many different ways to have sex. Normally, I would not talk openly about the subject, much less watch material on it. However, I must say that movie offered some insight as to the past and present attitudes on sexual behavior. In the movie, they show flashbacks of Kinsey as a boy, listening to his father preach about condemning yourself to hell if you masturbate, and that you are killing yourself because “losing an ounce of seminal fluid is as debilitating as if you

life without sexual intercourse? Technically speaking there would be no human life in the first place without sex. The famous psychiatrist Sigmund Freud declared sexual intercourse as one of the necessities in life after eating and drinking. As a predisposition from our process of human evolution it isnt so much of a surprise that we get a lot of pleasure out of sexual intercourse, pleasure which can be intensified, due greatly to the biological chemistry that takes place in the human body.
