325. Have you seen "Kinsey" yet?
Edited on Thu Dec-30-04 02:09 PM by GumboYaYa
If not, you will love this movie. Al Kinsey was one of the very first scientists to investigate human sexuality. Without getting into his discoveries, one of the most interesting things in the movie is the different manner in which the public reacted to his discoveries about men versus women. His book on men was a bestseller and received great acclaim. A year later he released a book on women and was practically run out of science. People simply could not deal with the fact that women masturbate, have pre-marital sex and extra-marital sex, and god-forbid, engage in homosexual acts. It really validates your point.

You will love the movie. I think John Lithgow deserves the best supporting actor Oscar for his role in this one.
