TY - JOUR T1 - Sex habits of american men: A symposium on the kinsey report Y1 - 1949/07/16 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1949.02900460064041 JO - Journal of the American Medical Association SP - 994 EP - 994 VL - 140 IS - 11 N2 - The publication of the Kinsey report aroused a flood of essays and comments which approached the problem from many different points of view. The collection of essays included in this book is better than most because of the qualifications of the contributors. The work is certainly not one for the average reader, who is likely to come away from its reading more confused than if he had limited himself to Kinsey's original book. As might be expected, the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish points of view vary, and one wonders why a book of the type of the Kinsey book should be submitted to that type of study. The criticisms in the various chapters take the colors of the well established attitudes of the writers. If the reader has previously approached the subject he obviously colors what he reads by his own attitudes. If this seems confusing, it is.
