Since the late 1980s, conservative author and speaker Dr. Judith A. Reisman (the Ph.D. is in Communications) has spearheaded an effort to discredit Alfred Kinsey and the Kinsey Reports. She now leads a campaign called Restoring Social Virtue & Purity to America (RSVPAmerica) that distributes material that criticises modern sexual viewpoints and sex education based on Kinsey's work.

Reisman argues that homosexuals are trying to "recruit" children through schools and the mainstream media, equates homosexuality with pedophilia, accuses Alfred Kinsey of abnormal sexual practices, and attributes his early death to excessive "self-abuse" (masturbation).

Reisman also claims that Kinsey employed a pedophile man to obtain data about child sexual behavior, and interprets parts of the descriptions of the children's sexual behavior ("gasping, eyes staring", "groaning, sobbing, or more violent cries, sometimes with an abundance of tears") as evidence that the children were tortured against their will. The conservative Family Research Council has produced a documentary called "The Children of Table 34" based on Reisman's work in an attempt to further discredit Kinsey. The video, according to the campaign website, "presents the story of Dr. Reisman's discovery of Dr. Alfred Kinsey's systematic sexual abuse of 317 male children".

This claim is denied by the Kinsey Institute, who point out that the diaries containing these quotes were written long before the research was started, and that Reisman has had access to the material showing this. See Kinsey Reports.

Also based on claims about Kinsey's personal sexual conduct, she concludes that Alfred Kinsey deliberately promoted a pro-sexual agenda which since dominated American schools and media. See Alfred Kinsey.

This, she argues, directly led to a massive increase in sexual diseases, and to a homosexual/pedophile conspiracy to subvert the media in order to convince the public that homosexual and pedophile sexual behavior are harmless.

Her publications have been frequently distributed and funded by conservative organizations, and used as arguments to reduce funding for sexology, which, Reisman claims, is not really a science but a cover for pro-homosexual/pedophile campaigners to obtain funding.

She has lobbied the government multiple times to aggressively fight pornography. E.g. November 18 2004 she testified before a senate committe, espousing theories of "erototoxins -- mind-altering drugs produced by the viewer’s own brain."[1] (http://commerce.senate.gov/hearings/testimony.cfm?id=1343&wit_id=3910)
