金赛性学教授

美国印第安纳大学的教授阿尔弗莱德·金赛在1939年发表了震惊世界的《金赛性学报告》，这部迄今为止最为完整和坦率的性生态学调查的学术基础，是面谈了12000名美国人的惊人工作量。在金赛（连姆·尼森 Liam Neeson 饰）对学生们的访谈培训中，他一生的故事娓娓道来…… 　　金赛出生在一个由父亲强力掌控的家庭，热爱自然的金赛在青年时终于摆脱了父亲钳制，选择了心仪的生物学研究，在大学任教时，金赛与研究生麦克米兰（劳拉·琳妮 Laura Linney 饰）结为伉俪。婚后他继续着自己的瘿峰研究，然而在与学生的接触中，他发现道德教条造成的性困惑无处不在，于是开始调整自己的研究方向……Called Prok as an adult (short for Professor Kinsey), Alfred Kinsey has been interested in biology since he was a child growing up in the early twentieth century, despite the criticisms of such being evil nonsense from his overbearing and devoutly Christian father, professor Alfred Seguine Kinsey. Prok goes on to become a biology professor at Indiana University, initially focusing on the study of gall wasps. But those studies in combination with questions from his students, coming to terms with the needs of sex with his own wife, a former student of his named Clara McMillen (who he calls Mac), and what he sees as the gross misinformation on the subject currently within popular belief makes him change his focus to human sexuality. Many of those gross untruths - as he sees them - are that oral sex and masturbation cause a slew of maladies, which are perpetuated by what is presented in the university's hygiene class taught by Professor Thurman Rice. With the approval of faculty head Herman Wells, Prok starts teaching his own wildly popular marriage course, talking about sex in a straightforwardly academic fashion. When he sees that morals don't necessarily mirror sexual behavior, he decides to conduct a massive sex survey with the assistance of students Wardell Pomeroy, Clyde Martin and Paul Gebhard. He faces the issue of the funding required for the survey and public and political response to this controversial and oft seen as taboo subject. But in conducting the survey, he and Mac also face the issue of their own sexuality in relationship to their marriage and the emotional and cultural aspects behind it, such as the notion of love.
