Quotes5

  • Thurman Rice: There's a cure for syphilis and it's called abstinence.
  • Alfred Kinsey: Penicillin works just as well - permanently!
  • Alfred Kinsey: Not only is your class irrelevant, it's irresponsible. There's a VD epidemic sweeping this country, Herman.
  • Thurman Rice: And that's my fault? I don't know whether to be insulted or flattered.
  • Alfred Kinsey: Why not address the need for sex instruction that deals frankly with students real questions, real concerns?
  • Thurman Rice: Open sex instruction promotes daydreaming. It is better to address these matters in a general medical course.
  • Alfred Kinsey: You mean an anti-sex course - with irrelevant gabble about dahlias and bees.
  • Thurman Rice: The idea that man needs sex is a lie. If it were true, the boy who exercises his sex organs regularly would achieve the greatest sexual experiences in later life. Whereas, in fact, that boy is likely to be sexually dead by the time he reaches adulthood.
  • Thurman Rice: Abstinence poses no difficulty for the college age male. Men don't reach their sexual peak until the age of 40. It is the lower class male, often negro, who finds it difficult to control his urges.
