Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film was shot at the actual Indiana University campus where Kinsey worked, and several real Kinsey Institute researchers consulted on set.
Released during the Bush administration's abstinence-only era, the film sparked renewed debates about sex education that eerily mirrored Kinsey's 1940s battles.
