	Sex and the real city - The Boston Globe
		In contrast to the beneath-the-radar-screen kinkiness uncovered by sex researcher Alfred Kinsey in the 1950s -- not to mention what you'd guess about Americans' sex lives from watching MTV -- the Chicago survey found American sexuality to be ordinary, even a tad dull.
		For example, the researchers found that roughly one-third of the men and women in Cook County (which includes Chicago) have been in a relationship in which their partner is juggling a second lover, increasing the risk of both disease and unhappiness.
		Indeed, those leaders may not be pleased by the researchers' thesis about "polygamy." Citywide, the study found, about 5 percent of the survey subjects said they were in "concurrent" sexual relationships at the time of their interview.

	Sex, sex and more sex: Working for Kinsey
		When the University of Indiana sex researcher's first volume was published in 1948, sex was forced out of hiding, and it's more or less been in our faces since.
		It is, then, the story of Kinsey as narrated by John Milk, a researcher/interviewer for Kinsey, and one of the "Inner Circle," as the core group came to be known.
		Kinsey teaches Milk how to conduct a proper sex interview and off they go, driving madly around the Midwest, stopping in college towns and cities, managing to convince men and women to submit to extremely personal and honest interviews about their sex lives.

	Sizing Up Sex Lives
		We researchers can't study only the eager and uninhibited people who are anxious to tell all and neglect the more reserved members of society.
		Sex research can also tell parents when their children are likely to become sexually active and remind them of the need for sex education.
		Sex studies not only let people know how they measure up to their neighbors and friends, sexually speaking -- they can also help them to understand what's normal and what's not.

		At first her too-strong hymen makes sex impossible, but when medically broken, the couple thrills at their sexual freedom, becoming a model of what sex therapists usually advise for couples: variety is the spice of a couple’s life.
		Vastly criticized for exposing premarital sex, encouraging his research team to experiment with “open marriage,” and for his findings on the high prevalence of homosexuality, he was even accused of pedophilia.
		Highly respected sex researcher Julia Heiman is the new director of the Kinsey Institute and editor of the highly scholarly Annual Review of Sex Research.

		Brain scans measure the blood flow of research volunteers, whose heads are strapped tightly down inside the noisy machines.
		Researchers attribute the delay to several factors, including managerial skepticism and government reluctance to fund much of the work.
		Sex research using brain scans is only just getting started, and scientists warn that any potential new drugs — or even better diagnoses of sexual dysfunction — are years away.

		At least part of the reason for scientists' reluctance to label themselves as "sex" researchers is the stigma that continues to be attached to the term, says Terri Fisher, an associate professor of psychology at Ohio State University in Mansfield.
		Nevertheless, the subject of sex abounds in the research community, spanning a broadening scope of disciplines and ranging in levels from genes and cells to gross structures and behavior.
		The relevance of sex research in animals to human situations is exemplified by the discovery of the vomeronasal organ (VNO) in humans.

	Amazon.com: Sex the Measure of All Things: A Life of Alfred C. Kinsey: Books: Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It would be difficult to cover both the biographical research on Kinsey and do an indepth study of current sex research, and I don't believe that Gathorne-Hardy even tried to do much research into current sex literature, that is why it is irritating when he tries to justify most of Kinsey's ideas.
		This book is so professionally researched, well documented and written with flowing, easy to follow prose, that it almost over-shadows the subject matter which is, of course, the fascinating life and work of Alfred C. Kinsey, and culminating with his most absorbing research work of all: the sexual habits of primarily, the American public.
		Kinsey's research was as clinically studied as any highly disciplined research should be, but it is no secret that Kinsey and his fellow researchers did a tremendous amount of, ahem, shall we say, "hands-on", direct involvement work which raised scholarly eyebrows, but as Gathorne-Hardy points out, it was done with the most scientific detachment possible.

	ABC News: Survey Reveals Surprising Sex Attitudes
		The results show that activities such as discussing fantasies with a partner contribute to an exciting sex life, and that an exciting sex life contributes to sexual satisfaction, which in turn contributes to a satisfying marriage.
		The wide-ranging survey yields fascinating insights into many other areas, including: how often people of various age groups are having sex; how many sexual partners the average American has had; the sexual attitudes of religious Americans; and intriguing information about the ultimate sexual topic — the orgasm.
		Of those surveyed, 97 percent have ever had sex; 3 percent have never had sex.

		Sex researcher/cultural historian Shere Hite is not the household name she was 30 years ago when The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study of Female Sexuality helped fuel the sexual revolution of the 1970s.
		But among those old enough to remember, the name Hite brings to mind "sex" — and in particular "female orgasm." Her treatise on female sexuality, in which she said that women weren't reaching orgasm with traditional sex but could with masturbation — became a symbol for women's new sexual freedom.

		Peter Sarsgaard is the stand out in the trio, as outstanding as his role in "Shattered Glass" and as all holds barred as in "The Center of the World." But his characterization leans toward a cavalier attitude towards women that is emblematic of this film until literally the last minute.
		I don't see why his character would be jealous to the point of fisticuffs of the attentions Timothy Hutton's flirtatious assistant would be paying to his wife when he seemed to condescend to marriage only for appearance's sake anyway.
		The casting of the many research subjects is wonderfully varied and the New York metropolitan area locations, recognizable only to the cognoscenti, stand in very well for varied cities, academic and sylvan locales.

	AEGiS-SFE: Some with HIV aren't disclosing before sex: UCSF researcher's 1,397-person study presented during ...
		DURBAN, South Africa - While most HIV-positive people in the United States are either remaining abstinent or telling their sex partners that they carry the virus, a significant minority continue to engage in unprotected sex with people who have no idea they could be contracting HIV.
		Gay men are the ones most likely to remain mum with casual sex partners, according to research reported Thursday at the 13th International AIDS Conference.
		Ciccarone, a doctor who often gives talks in the gay community about AIDS, said whenever he brought up the topic of discussing HIV status with sex partners, a debate almost always broke out over whether it was the responsibility of the person with the virus to tell, or of the person's sex partner to ask.

	WorldNetDaily: Film star to portray 'sex reformer' Kinsey
		Reisman, who has critiqued Kinsey's research for more than 20 years, says Kinsey increasingly is discounted by scholars as a "pathetic sexual psychopath" whose data were derived from an unrepresentative proportion of the population – mostly prison inmates and sex offenders, including pedophiles.
		Kinsey biographer James H. Jones, former adviser to the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, has admitted that Kinsey, the father of three children, was not the conventional academic and family man the university presented, but was sexually compromised.
		Bancroft eagerly dodges the fact that whether Kinsey used one rapist to tell the world that child sex is normal, or whether he recruited many rapists – which he did – it doesn't change the fact that there isn't a shred of scientific data that would support the notion of child sexuality," Reisman told WND.

	Sexual Intelligence by Marty Klein, Ph.D.
		William Masters, biologist, sex researcher, and senior half of "Masters and Johnson" died two weeks ago at age 85.
		He and partner Virginia Johnson eventually outfitted a laboratory and recruited volunteers to masturbate and have couple sex while instruments measured their bodily reactions.
		The New York Times obit called Masters a "sex researcher." Given what often passes for "sex research" today--asking an undergraduate class their attitudes about dating, or tabulating how often they use condoms--contemporary sexologists could well use Masters as a benchmark with which to assess their work.

	Evolutionary Advantage Found For Sex
		In one of the first studies to scientifically prove an evolutionary advantage for sex, a researcher at Wake Forest University reports in the July 31 issue of the journal Nature that sex helps weed out harmful genetic mutations, increasing a population's genetic fitness.
		Clifford Zeyl, assistant professor of biology at Wake Forest University, said that his studies of sexual reproduction in brewer's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have found that sexual populations are better at removing undesirable genetic mutations than single-sexed yeast.
		One other explanation for the evolutionary benefit of sex was that it produces novel and interesting genetic combinations required for adapting to environmental changes.

		Ogden, whose own love of sex led to her career in sex therapy and research, depicts herself in deep conversation with these composites as they candidly, even proudly, discuss their experiences and share their views on lust, satisfaction, and extragenital stimulation.
		Essentially, her theme is that sexuality has too long been narrowly defined by men in male terms, whereas a broader, more human view sees it as central to the entire quality of life.

		Although there is little research to say that healthy sexual relations can make you live a longer and healthier life, there is plenty of research that shows sexual problems or emotional distancing between couples negatively affects health, particularly for middle-aged and older men.

	‘Kinsey’ balances portrayal of sex researcher (printable version)
		The longtime Indiana University professor stirred things up in his day by writing the controversial bestseller “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.” Now, jaws are wagging because the sex researcher is the subject of a major motion picture starring Liam Neeson.
		The film is titled simply “Kinsey,” and it covers most of the man’s life from his subdued childhood to the writing of “Sexual Behavior in the Human Female.” More than a month ago, I was receiving press releases condemning the film because it supposedly paints Kinsey in a favorable light.
		Although he’s depicted as a scientist, Condon seems to argue that Kinsey’s sexual research was driven as much by personal curiosity as a desire to enlighten the world.
