Kinsey Reports - Kinsey Reports The Kinsey Reports are two controversial books on human sexual behaviour, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), by Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey and others. Kinsey was a zoologist at the Indiana University at Bloomington and the founder of the Institute for Sex Research. Kinsey's research astounded the general public and was immediately controversial and sensational. He concluded among other things: Something between 90% and 95% of people were somewhat bisexual (see Kinsey scale). Masturbation was almost universal in human males. Women who reported masturbation before marriage had no less sexual satisfaction in their marriages, there was even a slight correlation of greater satisfaction. These findings caused shock and outrage, both because they challenged conventional beliefs.
Kinsey scale - Kinsey scale Often misused as a measure of sexual orientation, the Kinsey Scale is a graphic representation to describe sexual history, that is former partners in respect to their biological sex. An easy way to remember the difference between sexual history and sexual orientation is that there are only three orientations: homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual; sexual history is one's past and may not "line up with" one's orientation. The scale itself is probably the most well-known product of the Kinsey Reports. For first-hand information, consult the Kinsey Institute website. The scale is as follows: 0- Exclusively heterosexual experience(s) 1- Predominantly heterosexual experience(s), only incidentally homosexual 2- Predominantly heterosexual experience(s), but more than incidentally homosexual 3- Equally heterosexual and homosexual experience(s) 4- Predominantly homosexual experience(s), but more.
Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction - Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction, often shortened to Kinsey Institute, exists "to promote interdisciplinary research and scholarship in the fields of human sexuality, gender, and reproduction". The Institute was founded as the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University at Bloomington in 1947 by Alfred Kinsey, then an entomologist and zoologist at Indiana University. Its original goals were the study of human sexuality and human sexual behavior. In 1948 and 1953 the Institute published two monologues on human sexuality, generally now known as the Kinsey Reports. Ever since, the Institute, the reports and Kinsey himself have been the subject of controversy. Among its functions is to preserve the supporting materials of the.
Alfred Kinsey - Alfred Kinsey Alfred Charles Kinsey (June 23, 1894 - August 25, 1956) was an entomologist and zoologist at the Indiana University at Bloomington who in 1947 founded the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University at Bloomington, now called the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. In doing so, Kinsey single-handedly created the academic field of sexology. His Kinsey Reports led to a storm of controversy, and were regarded by many as a trigger for the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Christian, right-wing, and traditional groups attacked Kinsey for what they saw as his immoral and dangerous research. Indiana University's president Herman B Wells defended Kinsey's research in what became a key test of academic freedom. Kinsey biographer James Jones claims that Kinsey was.
Judith A. Reisman - A. Reisman (the Phd is in Communications) has spearheaded an effort to discredit Alfred Kinsey and the Kinsey Reports. She now leads a campaign called Restoring Social Virtue & Purity to America (RSVPAmerica), whose primary purpose is to disseminate what is believed to be crucial information about the nature of Kinsey's reports. Reisman argues that homosexuals are trying to "recruit" children through schools and the mainstream media, equates homosexuality with pedophilia, accuses Alfred Kinsey of abnormal sexual practices, and attributes his early death to excessive "self-abuse" (masturbation). Reisman also claims that Kinsey employed a pedophile man to obtain data about child sexual behavior, and interprets parts of the descriptions of the children's sexual behavior ("gasping, eyes staring", "groaning, sobbing, or more violent cries, sometimes with an abundance of tears") as evidence.
Indiana University at Bloomington - limestone and Harrodsburg limestone, with outcroppings of St. Louis limestone. Many of the campus's buildings are made from Indiana limestone quarried locally. A stream (and storm sewer) flowing through the center of campus is named for David Starr Jordan, Darwinist, icthyologist, and president of IU and (later) Stanford University. Notable Alumni Notable alumni of Indiana University include co-discoverer of DNA James Watson, 1940 Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie, musician John Cougar Mellencamp, U.S. Senator Evan Bayh, Olympic gold medalist Mark Spitz, broadcaster Jane Pauley, actor Kevin Kline, violinist Joshua Bell, and journalist Ernie Pyle. Notable Faculty Notable faculty of Indiana University include the late Salvador Luria and the late Alfred Kinsey (best-known for his Kinsey Reports). Bobby Knight was coach of the IU men's basketball team from 1971 to 2000. Douglas.
Causes of sexual orientation - one particular sex. "Normal" orientation While heterosexuality is considered the statistical or biological norm, the concept of "normal" and "abnormal" with its connotations of sickness or moral judgment are no longer considered valid by most researchers outside of those whose religious (or other) beliefs include such a judgment. Even the belief that heterosexuality is the statistical norm has been challenged by some researchers, starting with Alfred C. Kinsey, who claimed that most people's orientation falls along a gradual scale between the two extremes of heterosexuality and homosexuality, with society influencing people to choose socio-normal sexual outlets. Opponents of Kinsey have claimed that his research methods were not objective (see Kinsey Reports). Some early civilizations, such as those of ancient Greece and Rome, often accepted homosexual behavior but, in general, did not.
Child sexuality - and what is culturally defined as normal. Due to the taboo surrounding youth sexuality and to legal and political constraints, little research has been conducted. Substantial data regarding what is age-appropriate and normal have not been compiled since the Kinsey Reports, which are surrounded by controversy especially regarding their findings on child sexuality. Researchers also note that studies giving frequencies of various childhood sexual behaviors are unreliable since behavior varies among different groups of people due to their values, and among different youth due to variation in the strength of their sexual feelings and variation in their development. Also, studies often rely on adults who try to recall events that occurred long ago. Therefore, the data only give us an idea of the types of behavior that children engage in, not.
RSVPAmerica - Purity to America'. It is headed by Dr Judith A. Reisman. High on the organisation's stated priorities is to discredit the Kinsey Reports. It advertises publications such as "Kinsey: Crimes & Consequences" and "Kinsey, Sex and Fraud: The Indoctrination of a People" (both by Reisman) and the video "The Children of Table 34", funded by the Family Research Council. See Judith A. Reisman, Alfred C. Kinsey, Kinsey Reports..
Paul Gebhard - Gebhard Paul Gebhard was the second director of the Kinsey Institute, following Kinsey himself. He co-authored the second of the Kinsey Reports and later claimed that the statistical bias in the data had not materially affected the results in both reports..
Masters and Johnson - research assistant to undertake a comprehensive study of human sexuality. Previously, the study of human sexuality (sexology) had been a neglected area of study due to the restrictive social conventions of the time. Alfred Kinsey had previously published two volumes on sexual behavior in the human male and female (known as the Kinsey Reports), both of which had been revolutionary and controversial in their time. Kinsey's work however, had mainly investigated the frequency of which certain behaviors occurred in the population. In contrast, Masters and Johnson set about to study the structure, psychology and physiology of sexual behaviour, through observing and measuring masturbation and sexual intercourse in the laboratory. As well as recording some of the first physiological data from the human body and sex organs during sexual excitation, they also.

Ketamine - on memory and thought. When used recreationally, it is known as K, Ket, Special K, or Vitamin K (not to be confused with Vitamin K). Ketamine produces effects similar to PCP, and DXM. Like other disassociative anesthetics in low to upper middle dosages, its hallucinogenic effects are only seen in darkness or sensory deprivation. Users tout its trip as better than that of PCP or LSD because its overt hallucinatory effects are short-acting, lasting an hour or less. The drug, however, can affect the senses, judgment, and coordination for 18 to 24 hours. Ketamine sold on the streets comes from diverted legitimate supplies, primarily veterinary clinics. Its appearance is similar to that of pharmaceutical grade cocaine, and it is snorted, placed in alcoholic beverages, or smoked in combination with marijuana. The.
Kecksburg UFO incident - woods. The object, reported to be the shape of an acorn and as large as a VW Beetle, was said to be carried away, presumably by the military. Theories as to what the Kecksburg object (if there was one- reports vary) range from it being an alien craft to the nosecone of a Soviet probe, Kosmos 96 that was destined for Venus. There has been a recent push for NASA to release pertinent documents on the subject. Some 40 pages of these documents were released on November 1, 2003, but are unrevealing. Similarities have been drawn between Kecksburg and the Roswell UFO incident. See also http://ufocasebook.com/Kecksburg.html http://www.ufocasebook.com/Kecksberg-UFO.pdf.
Khat - achieve a state of euphoria and stimulation. Due to the availability of rapid, inexpensive air transportation, the drug has been reported in London, Rome, Amsterdam, Canada, and the United States. The public has become more aware of this exotic drug through media reports pertaining to the United Nations mission in Somalia, where khat use is endemic, and its role in the Persian Gulf. The khat plant is known by a variety of names, such as qat in Yemen; tschat in Ethiopia, and miraa in Kenya. In 1980 the World Health Organization classified khat as a drug of abuse that can produce mild to moderate psychic dependence. Licit Uses Khat has not been approved for medical use in the US. Khat use has traditionally been confined to the regions where khat is.
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed - only about 10 percent of the explosives that were to be used in each of the bombs to be planted on United States airliners. The test resulted in the death of a Japanese national on board a flight from the Phillippines to Japan. He conspired with Ramzi Yousef on the plot until it was discovered in January 5, 1995. He left for Pakistan days or weeks after the plot was discovered for Qatar. After a request to arrest him came to the Qatari government from the United States, Mohammed went to Afghanistan. In 1996, he was secretly indicted by the Southern District of the state of New York for his alleged involvement in Operation Bojinka. On September 11, 2002, members of Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) variously claimed to have killed or.

Burgess's alcoholism causes him to be removed by Ambassador Franks and he returns to England, then on May 25, Burgess and.
King Kanishka - general Pan-Chao defeated a Kushan army at Khotan in 90 AD. Also controlling the land and sea trade routes between India and Rome seems to have been one of Kanishka's chief imperial goals. A great deal of information about the Kushana kings has been gathered from their coins. Kanishka's coins show Hindu, Buddhist, Greek, Persian and even Sumerian-Elamite images of gods. This is demonstrative of religious syncretism in his beliefs. His reputation in Buddhist tradition is based mainly on his having convened a great Buddhist council in Kashmir. This council is attributed with having encouraged the spread of Mahayana Buddhism. His greatest contribution to Buddhist architecture is the great stupa at Peshawar. Archaeologists in the twentieth century ascertained that this stupa had a diameter of 286 feet. Reports of Chinese pilgrims.
Kinthup - monastery, some time later asked for permission to make a pilgrimage again, and went to Lhasa, where he had a fellow Sikkimese bring a letter to the survey authorities to tell about his fate, and announce when he would be throwing the logs into the river. Kinthup returned to the monastery, and on his next leave threw the logs into the river as announced. Only then he returned to India, but there disappointment awaited him. His letter had not reached India, and his report of his travels was not believed. Kinthup left the survey and became a tailor. Only many years later did geographers realize that his reports and his story were completely correct - and that the Tsangpo and the Brahmaputra were indeed the same river..
