NOW IS THE TIME FOR A SEX EDUCATION REFORMATION! By Audrey Werner R.N. Do you find yourself wondering how our nation went from morality and biblical standards to immorality in such a short period of time? Back in the 1940’s and 1950’s you could count on society to help shelter your children from sexually immoral forces. Yet, today we find ourselves awash in an eroticized society daily eroding our children’s moral innocence. What caused our nation to go down the slippery slope so quickly? The beginning of the moral decline of our “One Nation under God” began with a man who unleashed the Pandora’s Box of the Old Testament pagan sexuality on America. His name is Alfred Kinsey; and he is still referred to today as the “Father of the Sexual Revolution” of the 1960’s. During the 1930’s and 40’s, Kinsey was trained as a zoologist. He was a professor in the biology department at Indiana University and specialized in the gall wasp. Kinsey believed that human sexuality could be studied much like one studied the gall wasp. He considered man just another animal. The Rockefeller Foundation donated large grants to Kinsey and his team to conduct his surveys. He became the most famous man in the world for a decade when the Kinsey Reports were published: “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male” in 1948 and “Sexual Behavior in the Human Female” in 1953. The Kinsey Institute still conducts sexual research at Indiana University today. The Kinsey Reports brought about enormous changes in law, medicine, science, education and the ministry according to Dr. Judith Reisman, author of “Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences” (1998,2000). In the early 80’s, Reisman began to look more closely at Dr. Kinsey’s revolutionary “scientific” data. She found that Kinsey’s influential Reports used unethical methods in order to obtain his desired conclusions. To unleash man from the constraints of his biology, Kinsey hired pedophiles to “experiment” on children. Based on the reports of nine pedophiles, which sexually molested children, Kinsey concluded that humankind had sexual capacity and desire from birth, not from puberty. In a very unscientific fashion, Kinsey changed or massaged data to construe the conclusions he had intended to find. He also sought sexually deviant behaviors in people; and if subjects denied this behavior, their data was conveniently dismissed. The Kinsey Reports were considered impressive because the findings were based on a massive 18,000 interviews. However, only about a quarter, 4,450 interviews, were actually processed and used in the two Reports. Roughly 86% of the respondents in Kinsey’s “Male” volume were based on sexual deviants, including 1,600 sex felons. The Kinsey Reports claimed these were average American men, because Kinsey said his team interviewed no “recognizable psychotics…no poor memories…hallucinations or fantasies that distorted the fact.” Dr. Kinsey had some very devoted disciples who took his “scientific” data from the laboratory to the mainstream. Hugh Hefner read the Kinsey Reports and spearheaded the legalization of obscenity in America.(1) Another disciple, Harry Hay, read in the Kinsey Reports that 10-37% of the population is “homosexual.” Harry Hay left his wife and children and became the founder of the modern Gay Rights Movement in this nation. In the early 1950’s sodomy was a crime in every state. Harry Hay began the political rant which turned sodomites into a “minority” only seeking civil rights. Planned Parenthood and the abortion movement also gained significant influence in 1948 when the Kinsey Reports claimed that abortion was common and harmless. Kinsey said his “married” (2) women of the 1930’s and 1940’s commonly had premarital sex, committed adultery and 22% had abortions. He also reported that 90% of single women had had abortions. It is interesting to note that St. Paul identified people like Alfred Kinsey in Romans 1:22-25: Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the Glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator who is forever praised. Amen. By the 1960’s, Kinsey’s revolutionary model of human sexuality was being taught at the University level. (3) SIECUS, the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States, was launched from the Kinsey Institute in 1964 to teach the Kinsey model. Dr. Mary Calderone, past medical director of Planned Parenthood, became the early leader of SIECUS and made the following comment about its founding: Few people realize that the great library collection of…the Kinsey Institute…was formed very specifically with one major field omitted: sex education. This was because it seemed appropriate, not only to the Institute but to its major funding source, the National Institute of Mental Health, to leave this area for SIECUS to fill. Thus we applied and were approved for a highly important grant from the National Institute for Mental Health that was designed to implement a planned role for SIECUS to become the primary database for the area of education for sexuality. (4) SIECUS became the resource center for distributing information on human sexuality, including training materials for teachers and health professionals, as well as sample curricula for the classroom.(5) SIECUS published its Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education in 1991. “Sexuality” was a term physician Mary Calderone coined to mean every possible genital contact.(6) These guidelines were created by the “National Guideline Task Force” which were made up of Kinsey’s associates and disciples, like Planned Parenthood and the National Lesbian and Gay Health Foundation to name a few. (Any reference to these Guidelines will be referred to as SIECUS Guidelines for abbreviations sake.) From 1964 to the present the Kinsey Institute, Planned Parenthood and SIECUS (all recipients of Playboy grants) taught the new standard in America’s classrooms. Teachers trained in the Kinsey model at university before entering the classroom to teach our children AIDS and/or sex education. Teaching sex education is mandated in most states. This motivated revolutionary cadre has dictated how much sex information was fed to many of us as children; and it continues today with our own children. Unfortunately, much of the institutional church of Jesus Christ has been affected by Kinsey’s fraudulent data. The beginnings of some very popular and widely used Christian curricula can be traced back to SIECUS and the Kinsey model. How can this be? How can we prove that Kinsey is in a curriculum? First, check the sources and origins listed the curriculum. Do footnotes and curriculum resources cite SIECUS and/or the writings and studies built on the research of Kinsey, his co-authors, associates and /or other disciples? But second, yet the most important way to determine if a Christian curriculum is void of Kinsey’s model of “anything goes” human sexuality is to compare it to God’s Word. How many times are the sex act or the genitals referenced and then how many times is God’s standard of modesty, chastity, self-control and purity mentioned? Paul warns us in Colossians 2:8 that you, “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” Reformer Martin Luther once commented that, “When the Bible speaks, God speaks,” yet many Christians have perhaps unwittingly relied on man’s (Kinsey’s) philosophy instead of God’s own word. For all of the sex education in schools since 1964, are American children healthier as Kinsey promised? After Christian sex education curricula, are children more chaste and pure? Some of these curricula have been available for over 30 years in Christian homes and schools. The failure of the church to staunch the flow of gross immorality to our children today is in large part due to the acceptance of Kinsey’s view of sex in the church. As Hosea 4:6 states: My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge: because thou has rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou has forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget Thy children. For the sake of our nation and our children, the church must return to the teachings based solely on God’s Word. Galatians 6:7 counsels us, “Do not be deceived, God cannot be mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.” Be forewarned, anyone who attempts to look into the Kinsey Reports must not be overwhelmed at the evil and immorality. It runs very deep and has touched most of our lives and families. God instructs us through Romans 12:21, “Do not be overcome with evil but overcome evil with good.” Also in Romans 12:2 we are told, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is his good, pleasing and perfect will.” In the “SIECUS Guidelines” printed under Key Concept6: Society and Culture, Topic 1: Sexuality and Society, Level 3, it states: American societal messages about sexuality are often confusing and contradictory. Individuals need to examine messages received from different sources and establish guidelines for their own behavior. For the Christian, we are not to become a law unto ourselves. There is only one “source” used to “establish guidelines” for behavior, and that is the standard and measure found in God’s Word. Proverbs 2:12-15 states: Wisdom will save you from the ways of the wicked men, from men whose ways are perverse, who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways. Do you as a parent have difficulty answering questions or broaching the topic of intimate relationships with your children? Do you have a clear picture of God’s standard for chastity and purity and how to represent it? Have you been influenced by Kinsey’s pagan sexuality model? The only way to answer these questions is found in the words from Thessalonians 5:21-22, “Test everything. Hold onto the good. Avoid every kind of evil.” Remember as your child grows he or she will ask questions and you will know when and how to deal with the spiritual considerations of puberty and marriage. Relax. God’s gift of life is wonderful. Know that you are teaching your children about life and marriage by your daily example. Kinsey’s teachings will continue to invade our society. The purity battle is as old as time. God in His Word shouts a rebuttal. On the next page is a chart with two columns. One side listing the principles of Kinsey’s fraudulent model along with excerpts from the SIECUS Guidelines and on the other side is simply God’s Word from the NIV Bible. Before proceeding, I would ask you to pray a prayer written by Jacob Boehme: Rule over me this day, O God, leading me on the path of righteousness. Put your word in my mind and your truth in my heart, that this day I neither think nor feel anything except what is good and honest. Protect me from all lies and falsehood, helping me to discern deception wherever I meet it. Let my eyes always look straight ahead on the road you wish me to tread, that I might not be tempted by any distraction, and make my eyes pure, that no false desires may be awakened within me.   FOOTNOTES (1) Ray, Eunice V., and Reisman, Ph.D., Judith A., RSVP America: Parents Training Manual, First Principles Press, July 1996, p.15.

Kinsey could not find enough normal women to interview so he redefined “married,” as any woman who lived with a man for a year. Hundreds of prostitutes would be “married” under Kinsey’s definition.

Romans 1:28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worth- while to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. Theme: Objective, God-centered standard, sets a moral standard, clear definition between right and wrong, the knowing of another person (intimacy) is reserved only for the institution of marriage between a man and a woman, supports God and His commands. Psalm 18:30 As for God, His way is perfect. The Word of the Lord is proven. He is a shield to all who trust Him. 1.) MAN IS LIKENED TO AN ANIMAL “The Kinsey team viewed all human beings as mere animals, and often boasted that they did not recognize any moral or legal restraints of their research.”  Kinsey: Crimes & Consequences, p. 78 “Kinsey supported evolution and eugenics.” Direct quote from Eunice Ray of RSVP America. (Restoring Social Virtue and Purity to America) 1.) MAN IS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD Gen. 1:26 Man was made in the image and likeness of God. Gen. 9:66 …for in the image of God, has God made man. 2.) CHILDREN ARE SEXUAL FROM BIRTH “Kinsey through his findings concluded that children are erotic beings with a desire and capacity for sex.” Direct quote from Eunice Ray of RSVP America. “ Children are sexual from birth” has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. As they were treated sexual from birth, so they became. This also gave pedophiles justification for molesting children and disrupted parent/child bonding as parents hesitated in hugging their children for fear of erotocizing them. 2.) CHILDREN’S MODESTY SHOULD BE PROTECTED UNTIL MARRIAGE In Matthew 18:6-7 a simple warning is given: But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come. Dr. Kinsey/ SIECUS Guidelines God’s Word 3.) GOAL: REMOVE MODESTY AND INNOCENCE BY GOING AROUND PARENTS TO TEACH SEX EDUCATION. SIECUS Sex Education Goals and Values: The primary goal of sexuality education is promotion of sexual health. Quote World Health Organization as saying “every person has a right to receive sexual information and to consider accepting sexual relationships for pleasure as well as for procreation.” Sex education is taught at Kindergarten (Level I ages 5-8) through 12th grade (Level IV ages 15-18). 3.) GOAL: BE PURE. Psalm 119:9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your Word. Matt 5:13 Blessed are the pure at heart for they shall see God. Ephesians 5: 1-3 Be imitators of God, therefore dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4.) HUMANS CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT INHIBIT THEIR SEXUAL DESIRES Dr. Kinsey was a professed atheist. He blamed religious based “ancient taboos” for America’s supposed repressive sexual attitudes and consequences.” Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences, p.13 “Kinsey lied and said humans are sexually out of control so it is unrealistic to have any laws of restraint (sodomy, rape, pedophilia). It is interesting to note that prior to Dr. Kinsey’s findings, most people could manage their sexual desires.” Direct quote from Eunice Ray of RSVP America. 4.) THROUGH GOD, HUMANS CAN INHIBIT SEXUAL DESIRES Romans 8:9 You however are controlled not by the sinful nature, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. Dr. Kinsey/ SIECUS Guidelines God’s Word 5.) NAKEDNESS IS NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE IN FRONT OF CHILDREN Dr. Kinsey was a practicing nudist. Kinsey: Crimes & Consequences p. 19. Many parents find it common practice to be naked in front of their children, shower with their children naked, etc. 5.) NAKEDNESS IS ASSOCIATED WITH SHAME AND GUILT ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF CHILDREN Gen. 9:22-23 – Ham saw the nakedness of his father, Shem and Japheth “took a garment and laid it upon their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father.” Gen. 3:9-12 – It was God who covered up man once he entered into sin. This sin caused them to have their eyes opened. Nakedness then became associated with shame and guilt. Lamentations 1:8 – A plundered and devastated Jerusalem pictured as a woman whose nakedness is exposed. Rev. 3:18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes so you can see. Rev. 16:15 Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed. Dr. Kinsey/ SIECUS Guidelines God’s Word 6.) DIRECT YOU TO USE CORRECT ANATOMICAL TERMS FOR THE GENITALS SIECUS: Key Concept 1: Human Development, Level 1. Training for all sex educators includes saying genital terms out loud several times with other adults. This technique helps you get over any embarrassment but in truth helps to break down your own modesty with these terms. 6.) GOD MODELS MODESTY IN SCRIPTURE REGARDING THE GENITALS No where in scripture does God use correct anatomical terms for the genitals. The genitals are spoken of in poetic language or referred to as “nakedness”. I Cor. 12:23b and the parts that are unpresentable are treated with modesty. “ Dr. Kinsey never used jargon or euphemisms and he insisted on precise definitions.” Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences, p.66 7.) EXPLAIN IN SPECIFIC DETAIL HOW INTERCOURSE AND CONCEPTION OCCURS This concept is taught at all levels to all grades. The Kinsley Sex Study Centers recognize that if you can desensitize viewers, then acceptance and complacency can follow.  R.S.V.P America, p.21-27. Jeremiah 8:12 NO! They were not at all ashamed nor did they know how to blush. 7.) GOD DEALS WITH INTERCOURSE AND CONCEPTION IN THE CONSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE – NEVER IN SPECIFICS God encourages us to keep our thoughts, as well as our children’s, pure (Philippians 4:8, Matt. 5:8, I Tim. 5:22b) God tells us not to awaken love until it is ready (Song of Songs 2:7b, 3:5b, 8:4b) Ecc. 5:6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Dr. Kinsey/ SIECUS Guidelines God’s Word 8.) ALL SEX IS NORMAL, HEALTHY AND ACCEPTABLE SIECUS: Key Concept 1: Human Development, Topic 5: Sexual Identity and Orientation SEICUS: Key Concept 4: Sexual Behavior, Topic 3: Shared Sexual Behavior, Sub concept: Individuals express their sexuality with a partner in diverse ways. SIECUS: Topic 5: Human Sexual Response SIECUS: Topic 6: Fantasy 8.) BE HOLY AS I AM HOLY (LEV. 11:44) Holiness means distinct, different, called away Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Leviticus 18 summary: God gives His people specific instructions on unlawful sexual relations and what to avoid. He directs us to be chaste. 9.) MASTURBATION IS ENCOURAGED “Dr. Kinsey believed that masturbation was normal and acceptable.” Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences, pp.178-179 SIECUS: Key Concept 4: Sexual Behavior, Topic 1: Sexuality Throughout Life, Level 1 (age 5-8): It feels good to touch parts of the body SIECUS: Key Concept 4: Sexual Behavior, Topic 2: Masturbation: Masturbation is often the first way a person experiences sexual pleasure. Also stated that many boys and girls begin to masturbate for sexual pleasure during puberty. 9.) MASTURBATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO GOD Gen. 2:18 The Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. II Tim. 3:2-4 People will be lovers of themselves, lover of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self control, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. Dr. Kinsey/ SIECUS Guidelines God’s Word 10.) CHILDREN, LIKE ADULTS, NEED EXPLICIT SEXUAL INFORMATION When children are given graphic sexual information and any concerns are raised, the standard answer to this is: “What children don’t understand, will go over their heads.” Sex educators, teachers, doctors, nurses and even pastors, have used this answer. SIECUS Key Concept 4: Sexual Behavior, Topic 5: Human Sexual Response, Level 3: Men and women may be sexually aroused by thoughts, feelings, sights, smells, sounds and touches 10.) CHILDREN NEED TO BE PROTECTED 1 Cor. 13:11 When I was a child I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 1 Cor. 13:7 It (love) always protects. James 1:14-15 But each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire he has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Mark 9: 42 And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck. This paper was written by Audrey Werner: wife of a church worker, mom of three children and former practicing R.N. whose past experience includes teaching sex education in schools and churches for 5 years and working in a Sexually Transmitted Disease (S.T.D.) Clinic for 8 years. First and foremost, I dedicate this paper to our Lord and Savoir, Jesus Christ, whose unconditional love and sacrifice was for sinners like you and me. What a role model He was and a timeless standard He set. When the Lord put this task on my heart, I must admit I argued with Him that I was not an expert on Kinsey. He answered that concern very quickly by placing two wonderful and intelligent women in my path. A special thank you to Dr. Judith Reisman, recognized as the number one authority on Kinsey in our nation and to Eunice V. Ray, founder of RSVP America. I am grateful for their thoughtful contributions, loving words of encouragement, and prayerful review and endorsement of this important message. These women are standing up in a depraved society for what is morally and biblically right. Their courage and perseverance has been a true inspiration for me.
