  American Sexual Character: Introduction
Praised by some experts for their breadth, precision, and dispassionate approach to human sexuality, the books were also the targets of virulent criticism and were widely denounced as immoral, perverse, and damaging to the reputation of the United States.

That the reported sexual practices of American men differed from moral expectations was (in Kinsey's interpretation) evidence of the power of sexuality and not a mark of moral decay.
The sexuality of the human male was characterized by novelty in practices, variety in partners, a quick and urgent response to sexual stimuli, and a search for orgasm as the primary source of sexual pleasure.
Sexual Behavior in the Human Female, based on approximately 6000 interviews, is a retreat, at least in part, from all of these assumptions.

 American Sexual Character
As they debated what behaviors were normal or average, abnormal or deviant, Cold War Americans also celebrated and scrutinized the state of their nation, relating apparent changes in sexuality to shifts in its political structure, economy, and people.
Focusing on the mutual construction of postwar ideas about national identity and sexual life, this wide-ranging, shrewd, and lively analysis explores the many uses to which these sex surveys were put at a time of extreme anxiety about sexual behavior and its effects on the nation.

Reumann develops the notion of "American sexual character," sexual patterns and attitudes that were understood to be uniquely American and to reflect contemporary transformations in politics, social life, gender roles, and culture.

This claim is denied by the Kinsey Institute, who point out that the diaries containing these quotes were written long before the research was started, and that Reisman has had access to the material showing this.
This, she argues, led to a massive increase in sexual diseases, and that the public was convinced that homosexual and pedophile sexual behavior are harmless.
Her publications have been frequently distributed and funded by conservative organizations, and used as arguments to reduce funding for sexology, which, Reisman claims, is not really a science but a cover for pro-homosexual/pedophile campaigners to obtain funding.

Kinsey's conclusion -- that each person's sexual make-up is unique, and therefore the word "normal" isn't relevant when dealing with human sexuality (there is only "common" or "rare" behavior) -- had people frothing at the mouth in the 1940s, and continues to drive many into vein-popping outrage in 2004.
Kinsey's unrelenting quest to explore sexual boundaries and the way he and his researchers got physically involved in the process can become amazingly uncomfortable for viewers.
But none of them is as relevant today as the life story of Kinsey, the man whose study of human sexuality remains a part of society's still raging debate over what is moral or immoral, in regards to s-e-x.
