Kinsey's most influential work was compiled in his 1948 book entitled ''Sexual Behavior in the Human Male'', which also contained the first version of his self-titled Kinsey scale, and its 1953 follow-up ''Sexual Behavior in the Human Female''.<ref name="KI" /> Together, the two are known as the Kinsey Reports.

In January 1948, Kinsey - as well as his collaborators Wardell Pomeroy and Clyde Martin - published ''Sexual Behavior in the Human Male''. It made the best-seller list before the end of February, and by mid-March had sold 200,000 copies.<ref name="NCBI" /> This book contained over 5,000 sexual histories, as well as statistics, tables, and graphs containing information on the prevalence of sexual behaviors, such as masturbation, adultery, and homosexuality.<ref name="NCBI" /> As a result, the book was met with a "storm of condemnation and acclaim"<ref name="PM">{{Cite web|url=https://muse.jhu.edu/book/42035|title=Project MUSE - Sexual Behavior in the Human Male|publisher=Project MUSE|date=2016-01-01}}</ref> as he was simultaneously praised for havinhttps://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/licensed-image?q=tbn:ANd9GcQBTWYt_OywJ_ZWteq6mAagQmGVuxj0gRGiWMpB9rChLfS-aAjuXthsfJuQ4JFgO2CEMoH6n_0vdxKrUrUg the courage to publish the book despite significant backlash,<ref name="NYTarchivereview">{{Cite web|url=https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/97/03/23/reviews/bright-male.html|title=Concerning Man's Basic Drive|author=Rusk, Howard|publisher=The New York Times|date=1948-01-04}}</ref> while at the same time creating "the most anti-religious book of our times".<ref name="NCBI" />

The '''Kinsey Scale''', also known as the '''Heterosexual–Homosexual Rating Scale''', was first introduced in ''Sexual Behavior in the Human Male'', but was also prominent in the complementary work ''Sexual Behavior in the Human Female''.<ref name="KS">{{Cite web|url=https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/publications/kinsey-scale.php|title=The Kinsey Scale|publisher=The Kinsey Institue|date=2020}}</ref> It was created as research findings began to demonstrate that sexuality was not binary and people did not fit into exclusive hetero= or homosexual categories.<ref name="KS" /> The scale was originally used to rate individuals based on behavior, as opposed to self-identifying labels;<ref name="Reflections">{{Cite print|title=Sexual Minority Reflections on the Kinsey Scale and the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid: Conceptualization and Measurement|author=Galupo, M.

===Controversy===
  
−
Kinsey has been criticized for his voyeuristic attitude toward sex, often encouraging those who worked with him to engage in sexual activities among themselves and with him. Accordingly, one of the co-authors of ''Sexual Behaviors in the Human Male'' said that "he just fucks everybody".<ref name="THE" /> He was also known to have filmed sexual acts that included his co-workers in his attic at home.
  
−  
−
In addition, speculation has been cast on aspects of Kinsey's data collection, including his choice to interview people who did not represent wider society, as well as relying on volunteers instead of a controlled sample<ref name="CBS">{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/50-years-after-the-kinsey-report/|title=50 Years After The Kinsey Report|author=Dininny, Shannon|publisher=CBS|date=2003-01-27}}</ref> and irregularities in some of his data.<ref name="Britannica" />
  
−  
−
After his death, it came to light that all research that explored pedophilia was based on an interview with one person; not, as had been proclaimed by Kinsey, multiple people.<ref name="NYT">{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/03/movies/alfred-kinsey-liberator-or-pervert.html|title=Alfred Kinsey: Liberator or Pervert?|author=Cain, Caleb|publisher=The New York Times|date=2004-10-03}}</ref> Such revelations cast some of his research into doubt, as well as the knowledge that he had solicited information but did not report it.<ref name="BIA">{{Cite web|url=https://www.businessinsider.com.au/why-alfred-kinsey-was-controversial-2013-10|title=Why Kinsey's Research Remains Even More Controversial Than The 'Masters Of Sex'|author=Spector, Dina|publisher=Business Insider Australia|date=2013-10-19}}</ref>

Usage

Common form for cases where little is known about authorship of the page

{{Cite web |url= |title= |site= |archivedate=}}

Common form when author and date of publication are known

{{Cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |site= |publisher= |archivedate= }}

All parameters, horizontal format (delete the ones you don't need)

{{Cite web |url= |title= |author= |language= |date= |format= |site= |publisher= |pages= |quote= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |nolive=1 |nobackup=1}}

All parameters, vertical format
{{Cite web
| url = 
| title = 
| author = 
| language = 
| date = 
| format = 
| work = 
| publisher = 
| pages = 
| quote = 
| archiveurl = 
| archivedate = 
| nolive = 1
| nobackup = 1
}}

Required parameters

  • url: URL of online item.
  • title: Title of online item.

Optional parameters

  • author: Author(s), whether individuals or organizations, preferably as Last Name, First name. May be wikilinked.
  • date: Full date of publication in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2006-02-17. May be wikilinked. If the complete date isn't known, use partialdate instead.
  • language: Language of publication, if not in the implied default (English).
  • format: Format, if not in the implied default (HTML), e.g. PDF.
  • work: The larger work, such as the website hosting the individual page or the larger work that a single article is part of. If the parameter isn't provided, the template will automatically extract and link the domain name.
  • publisher: Publisher, if any.
  • pages: First page and optional last page of a document, e.g. pp. 5–7, for the pages relevant to the citation (not the total number of pages in the document). This is especially useful for PDF format, where the page can be linked to with the #page=number anchor tagged on the end of the URL, e.g.: pages = [http://www.example.org/file.pdf#page=123 p. 123]
  • quote: Relevant quote from online item. Quotation marks are automatically added.
  • one optional backup parameter:
    • archivedate: This parameter uses the timestamp feature of Internet Archive. The URL supplied earlier in the template, along with archivedate, will provide a link to Internet Archive. The timestamp portion of an Internet Archive URL looks like YYYYMMDD######, e.g. 20201130123456.
    • archiveurl: If Internet Archive does not work for the link in question, you can use archiveurl to provide a full URL to another backup website, such as archive.is.
  • other optional backup parameters:
    • nolive=1: If the original online content is no longer available, this adds the note (content no longer online)
    • nobackup=1: If the original online content is no longer available and no backup link can be found, this adds the note (backup link not available)
