This study, though groundbreaking and often cited, has never been statistically relevant to the overall gay male population and certainly is not relevant to lesbians. However, Kinsey did bring qualitative insight and clarity to the studying of sexuality in general.
Evasive terms invite dishonest answers.
Thus the subject who might want to deny an experience had a heavier burden placed on him and since he knew from the way the question was asked that it would not surprise us if he had done it there seemed little reason to deny it. We looked our subjects squarely in the eye and fired the questions at them as fast as we could. These were two of our best guarantees against falsifying. Dr. Kinsey's work of course does not cover consumer-related behavior nor does it reflect recent contemporary sexual values in men. It has also been criticized for failing to use a random sample.
