Kinsey’s most enduring legacy consists of two massive statistical studies based on approximately 18,500 personal interviews:
To account for his finding that human sexuality does not always fit into binary "heterosexual" or "homosexual" categories, Kinsey developed a seven-point scale in 1948: : Exclusively heterosexual. 6 : Exclusively homosexual. 1–5 : Representing various degrees of bisexuality.
: This follow-up documented female sexual practices, including masturbation and orgasmic experiences, further challenging the era's social taboos. 2. The Kinsey Scale
: This volume became an immediate bestseller, revealing that behaviors previously considered rare or "deviant"—such as premarital sex, extramarital affairs, and homosexual experiences—were significantly more common than public discourse suggested.
