...were kept closed for nearly two decades--"The grey Puritan is a sick man, soul and body sick," wrote D.H. Lawrence.

Kinsey's data were flawed by the narrow range of his interviewed sampling and by his determinedly mechanistic approach to the subject of sex. Nonetheless, his research legitimized the study...
