-redefines normal
-making laws that removes parent’s permission
-promoting a wider net of sexual partners
-familiarize kids with fringe behaviors
-provide links to adult only sites
-urge kids to join the fight for “social justice” changing the world one child at a time

The Kinsey Scale of Human Sexuality
-1940’s-1950’s, Alfred Kinsey, introduced a new model of human sexuality
-SIECUS institutionalized Kinsey’s model in the 1960’s
-Heather Corinna (radical feminist activist) became a recognized teen sexuality instructor followed Kinsey's model
-Kinsey was the master architect of a new model of human sexuality
-the model is based on his conviction that in modern society, traditional morality is irrelevant and destructive-basically Judeo-Christina teachings have it all wrong
****”sexuality is not an appetite to be curbed.”
-he believed that monogamy is unnatural, but “human animals”
-Kinsey coined the term “pansexual”
-Kinsey believed that human natural state is free from social constraints that become sexually active early in life
-that we enjoy intercourse with both sexes and need to indulge in a variety of behaviors except fidelity
-Kinsey applauded practically every kind of sexual activity, but disapproved of sexual abstinence
-His model is based on his study of bugs as his trainings was not in student of human or psychology but training was in the classification of insects-expertise in wasps
Kinsey’s Pathology: (based on his biography)
-he experienced pleasure by inserting foreign objects like straws, pipe cleaners, pencils, and toothbrushes into his penis
-he removed his foreskin with a pocketknife
-he suspended himself in the air by a rope tied around his scrotum
-he was more than a masochist as his pathology went beyond the pursuit of pain and humiliation
-biography describes a grotesque, debilitating, dangerous obsession with sex
-he had an insatiable appetite and to his compulsive, self-destructive needs
-he enjoyed traumatizing his genitals to point that he needed hospitalization
Kinseyian highlights
-had a recording studio in his attic to film sexual encounters (wife, inner circle, staff members, graduate students, and their wives)
-his primary interest was in male sadomasochistic behavior
-he was a sexual exhibitionist (he showed off his genitals, demonstrated masturbatory techniques)
-he was in favor of adult-child sexual contact (did not consider it as child molestation)
-for his research, he interviewed jailed pedophiles and sex offenders, male prostitutes, transvestites, sadists, and masochists
***modern sex education derives from the personal philosophy of this man
Sexual Behavior: Psychologist Act emotionless without context, no meaning, no consequences, freedom from judgment, laws, moral restrictions, religious doctrine, be a human animal
-no one is truly heterosexual or homosexual; heterosexuality is only “a result of social pressures which tend to force an individual into an exclusive pattern.”
“In father-daughter incest, the daughter's age makes all the difference in the world. THe older she is, the likelier it is that the experience will be a positive one. The best sort of incest of all, surprisingly enough, is that between a son and a mother who is really educating him sexually, and who then encourages him to go out with girls.” Kinsey associate and former SIECUS president Wardell Pomeroy
SIECUS Sex Information and Education Council
Planned Parenthood
Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute
Advanced Institute of Human Sexuality (Wardell Pomeroy)-awarded degrees in sexology
-use the ideology of Alfred Kinsey
-using materials from the Kinsey archives (films from the attic)
***a technique called “Sexual Attitude Restructuring (SAR) was created
-students shown an onslaught of pornographic images: films and slides
-points sex is a behavior with no emotional or relationships
-SAR creator, Richardf Chilgren, on the SIECUS board in 1972
Death of Kinsey in 1956-followers:
Mary Calderone
-established the 1st modern sex education organization called the Sex Information and Education Council
-it is what we now know as SEICUS
-she was the director of Planned Parenthood before the creation of SEICUS
-she was crusading for social reform
-she found fault in sex education focusing on preventing pregnancy and venereal diseases (now called Sexually Transmitted Diseases=STD)
***core belief: Sexuality is an essential, life long aspect of being human and should be celebrated with respect, openness, and mutuality
Cornerstones of modern sex education:
1. Sexuality is our entire selves, influences us in every way, and encompasses everything
-in education sex ed (sexuality) can be tied to all subjects like English class: tied in with communication skills
-Planned Parenthood recommended book: Teaching about Sexuality and HIV
-equates sex to a hug
“You are not just being sexual by having inercourse. You are being sexual when you throw your arms around your grandpa and give him a hug.”
-kids taught to believe that sexuality is “who they are,” “their entire selves,” from “womb to tomb”
2. The more information the better, and the earlier your small children get it, the better
-planned parenthood claims there is no such thing as too much information so talking about sexuality is best started from the time the child is born
-by age five, they believe children need to know how a baby gets in and gets out of a woman’s body as well as basic facts o HIV/AIDS
Advocates for Youth:
-advises parents to help six-to eight-year-old children develop a healthy sexuality, families should give information even if the child doesn’t ask for it
-instruct parents to tell five year-olds about intercourse but organisms can wait until child finished kindergarten
-six-eight year-olds must have basic information about abortion, HIV/AIDS, wet dreams, and periods
-ex. your daughter’s vulva with her in a calm and comfortable way
***a young child’s ability to think logically is limited-their minds are not ready
3. Anything Goes
-no judgment allowed
-distort sexuality until tis normal
-planned parenthood tells parents to tell a child being different is normal
Book: A Family Resource on: Sex and Sexuality
-it identifies a variety of relationships: monogamous, open, or group sex, one night stands, etc..
Book: Go Ask Alice
“S/M pushes the boundaries between pleasure and pain” and assures them it’s “absolutely normal”
-planned parenthood claims to promote “a common sense approach to women’s health and well-being”
-anything goes is the most bizarre, depraved behaviors have become just another thing for them to try
4. Children have the “right” to question their parents’ ideas about sex, to explore their sexuality, and to develop their own values. And parents have the duty to support them in their quest.
-sex quests like video games
-parents are told not to lecture or judge
-parents are not to impose your values
-parents do not interfere with our teen’s decisions unless instructing them about “protection”
***Sex is your child’s journey so your kid controls making decision on taking blockers and chopping off body parts
