The Kinsey Foundation

The Kinsey Foundation, officially known as the Kinsey Institute, is a research organization dedicated to studying human sexuality, relationships, and gender. Founded in 1947, it aims to better understand diverse sexual behaviors and attitudes through scientific research, education, and cultural engagement. Named after Alfred Kinsey, a pioneering sex researcher, the institute provides valuable insights that challenge misconceptions, promote sexual health, and support LGBTQ+ understanding. It also houses a library and archives that offer extensive resources for researchers and the public interested in sexuality studies.
