1. "Homosexual contact" as Kinsey described it, in most cases was nothing more than masturbation, like circle jerks, experimental and not continued. It's not at all the same thing as being homosexual in sexual orientation. As you are no doubt aware, Kinsey himself was homosexual, although he was married. He had an extremely active sex life, men, women, orgies, and was pushing an agenda. That may not have affected his research, but it does indicate a bias which makes his research suspect. If Pfizer pays for research on the effect of Viagra on the sexuality in older males, you might want to see that research replicated before you relied on it. 2. Am I the only one who finds it appalling that young women, aged 16 or so, have become the sex objects du jour? Theories - of course, men are attracted to nubile women with smooth skin, hard bodies, taut waists, lean legs, etc. But until recently girls under 18 were at least publicly "hands off." Why? Maybe fear of AIDs from an experienced woman. Maybe the man is turned off by Women's Libbers. Maybe he finds women his age intimidating. So when a man talks about the sexuality of young girls, I always suspect an agenda. 3. I don't think you need to "promote" heterosexual sex play. The kids know what's going on. If they want to do it, they know how. 4. >>>>>I strongly encouraged my sons to keep their sexual activity at home in their teen years, and insisted on their advanced sexual education<<<<< I find this really creepy. My mother, who is a very weird person, did the same for me, and it was awful. I didn't want to cooperate with her, but she mesmerized my boyfriend, and he did not understand why I felt that my innermost privacy had been invaded by someone who did not have my best interests at heart. My sex life is nobody's business but my own. To put it in perspective, my parents were divorced, and my mother was sleeping with a lot of men who were in college at the time. Later she started sleeping with bikers. She preferred men in their early twenties. Again, I suspected an agenda when she would ask my boyfriend to go into her bedroom and sit on the bed with her and talk about my sex life. Thinking about it even now makes me angry.
