It would be hard to overestimate the impact of the Kinsey Reports, and the Kinsey Institute, on changes in American sexual morality and behavior in the past 70 years or so. However controversial some shifts of behavior and beliefs may appear to be, Kinsey's fundamental message seems to have prevailed: Sexual behavior is more diverse than is generally acknowledged, and there is some wisdom in considering what people actually do, rather than what they say think they ought to do.
Fortunately, the Kinsey Institute, which is still the target of ideological attacks, maintains a public-information website, where you can look up the specific findings of the Kinsey reports and look for opportunities to participate in ongoing research.
