本期节目探讨了金赛博士的生平、工作及其对文化的深远影响。金赛报告是其对人类性行为研究的开创性成果，以两本巨著的形式发布，分别关注男性和女性的性行为。该报告利用大量数据挑战了当时的性观念，为性革命、避孕措施普及和对性少数群体的更大包容性铺平了道路。然而，金赛报告及其作者也面临着巨大的争议，有人赞扬其科学贡献，也有人谴责其对社会道德的冲击。金赛报告的价值在于其对性行为的科学研究，以及其对打破传统性观念和促进性教育的贡献。

Shownotes Transcript

*In 1948, Dr. Alfred Kinsey wrote the book on sex. “The Kinsey Report”, as it came to be known, was a pioneering scientific study on the sexual habits of ordinary Americans. Divided into Male and Female Volumes, it challenged longstanding myths about sex and the religious ideology that upheld them. In this first installment of a three-part series, we explore the life, times and motivations of the enigmatic man behind the Kinsey Report – Dr. Alfred Kinsey. *
