Judith A. Reisman (/ˈriːsmən/; born Judith Ann Gelernter on 11 April 1935) is an American cultural conservative writer best known for her criticism and condemnation of the work and legacy of Alfred Kinsey. Noted as "the founder of the modern anti-Kinsey movement," which began with a paper she presented at the fifth World Congress of Sexology in 1981 regarding the ethics of children's data in the Kinsey Reports, Reisman has since endeavored to discredit not only Kinsey but the entire field of sexology (the scientific study of human sexuality). She has authored several books and is a columnist for WorldNetDaily and Salvo (magazine).

Education and experience

Reisman attended graduate school at Case Western Reserve University, where she obtained a Ph.D. in communication studies in 1980. Among her skills, she lists expertise in media forensics, which she defines as "the scientific analysis of images, pictures, cartoons, illustrations, pornography and text in sexual harassment of women and children in the workplace, schools, and homes." She "specialize in the communication effects of images on the brain, mind and memory, fraud in the human sexuality field and the addictive properties of sexually explicit images." While lacking specialized degrees related to human sexuality, she declares that to be an asset; a lack of 'Kinseyan training' allowing her to see without its biases, "to identify the frauds that underpin that entire 'field' — a pseudoscience created by Alfred Kinsey's followers."

Advocating for children

Reisman states that her introduction to "the world according to Kinsey" began in 1966 when her 10-year-old daughter was molested by a 13-year-old, trusted family friend. She further recounts that when her daughter told him to stop, he persisted, saying that she would enjoy it; that he was going by what he had learned from reading his father's Playboy magazines. Reisman states that "Hugh Hefner said he was Kinsey's pamphleteer. I then followed the trail to the Kinsey reports."

Investigative journalist Max Blumenthal has tracked how this incident set Reisman on the path of researching Kinsey's activities. Following the sexual assault, the boy and his family slipped out of the country, while her daughter lapsed into a deep depression. Fifteen years later she died from a brain aneurysm, which Reisman suspected was linked to the earlier trauma.

Since Reisman's daughter was not the only child molested by the 13-year old, a fact of which Reisman was keenly aware, the imperative to protect children from this sort of harm became a driving force in her life.

Children in the Kinsey reports

By 1976, Reisman began to have serious concerns about Alfred Kinsey's professional ethics. In Jerusalem in 1981, Reisman presented a paper at the fifth World Congress of Sexology titled "The Scientist as A Contributing Agent To Child Sexual Abuse; A Preliminary Consideration of Possible Ethics Violations" about the data on the sexual response of children in the Kinsey Reports (Tables 30 to 34). Over the following years her accusations became increasingly serious; she said he was a fraud who had employed and relied on pedophiles for his research, and went on to claim that Kinsey himself sexually abused children and had a "child molestation protocol". This allegation drew a response from Kinsey biographer James H. Jones, who wrote that unless new evidence to the contrary becomes available, Reisman's claims that Kinsey may have witnessed or personally participated in child molestation under the guise of scientific research must be considered groundless. The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction has stated in response to Reisman that "Kinsey was not a pedophile in any shape or form."

After Reisman began publicizing her allegations of child abuse in the Kinsey reports, she was contacted by a woman who went by the pseudonym Esther White and claimed to have been a child whose data was given to Kinsey as a result of molestation. White would later appear in the 1998 British Film "Secret History: Kinsey's Paedophiles." While Reisman holds White's story as proof that Kinsey was intimately involved in child abuse, the Kinsey Institute has flatly denied the most scandalous claims:

People may have used Kinsey's name to justify any sorts of behavior, but that is beyond the control of the researchers. It is possible that this woman's father or grandfather wrote to Kinsey, as many people did, but he never encouraged any such behavior. Following that documentary, we checked through Kinsey's correspondence and could not find any that would match this story. Kinsey did not ask people to fill out questionnaires or forms. There was no experimentation, and no one was 'recruited' to 'participate,' and certainly not to molest anyone. There is absolutely no evidence to support any of these claims. The research consisted of interviewing people about their sexual lives and relationships.

Prior to the release of the 2004 film Kinsey, Reisman attempted, with the support of Laura Schlessinger, to purchase advertisement space in the entertainment trade magazine Variety "alleging Kinsey was a pervert and a pedophile". The specific ads submitted were rejected by Variety's publisher Craig Hitchcock, who stated that they were "inappropriate".

Images of children, crime and violence

In 1983, during the Presidency of Ronald Reagan, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) was headed by social conservatives, including Alfred Regnery in the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Reisman had given a talk on a Washington, D.C. radio program and CNN's Crossfire about the "connections between sex education, sex educators, and the pornography industry" which was heard by a member of the DOJ and she was asked to discuss her views in person, which "struck a common chord especially those opposed to sex education in the schools." She was then invited to apply for a grant, which was approved without competition for the amount of $798,531 (though later reduced to $734,371), to undertake a "study at American University to determine whether Playboy, Hustler and other more explicit materials are linked to violence by juveniles." The allocation came under criticism as the grant was approved despite a staff memo from Pamela Swain, a director of research, evaluation and program development, in which she claimed that the study could be accomplished for $60,000.

By 1986, Reisman concluded her investigation of "372 issues of Playboy, 184 issues of Penthouse and 125 issues of Hustler" that found "2,016 cartoons that included children apparently under the age of 17 and 3,988 other pictures, photographs, and drawings that depict infants or youths," the details of which were collected into "a three-volume report running to 1,600 pages" titled "Images of Children, Crime and Violence in Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler." The report drew contemporary criticism in regards to its cost and its quality. Sex crime researcher Avedon Carol commented that the report was a "scientific disaster, riddled with researcher bias and baseless assumptions." The American University (AU), where Reisman's study had been academically based, refused to publish the completed work, citing concerns by an independent academic auditor. Criminologist Robert Figlio of the University of Pennsylvania stated "The term child used in the aggregate sense in this report is so inclusive and general as to be meaningless."

Author Susan Trento chronicled additional complexities surrounding the episode. Initially, Reisman was targeted by some as a proxy to attack Regnery. The nature of Reisman's grant work and the concurrent Attorney General's Commission on Pornography, which would author the Meese Report in 1986, caused anxiety in the pornography industry. Fears began to come to fruition when 7-Eleven stores stopped selling Playboy and Penthouse, in part citing Reisman's work. Trento writes that the public relations firm headed by Robert Keith Gray was hired by Playboy and Penthouse "to discredit Meese's Pornography Commission" specifically as well as others that threatened their business, presumably including Reisman. Reisman herself claims a wide conspiracy between "the commercial sex industry the Kinsey Institute and academic sexology to prevent any light from being shed on their world." "Whatever the merits of her research," Trento wrote, when support from the OJJDP was needed most, its leadership backed away from Reisman leaving her project to fail and Reisman feeling "bitter" and "helpless" after "spending years developing an expertise and doing what she thought was an excellent job in the public interest."

Mapplethorpe exhibition obscenity trial

During the 1990 obscenity trial of Dennis Barrie, then director of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, for displaying controversial photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe, Reisman was called as the only expert witness for the prosecution. In the previous year, Reisman had authored an editorial in The Washington Times titled "Promoting Child Abuse as Art" which "accused Mapplethorpe of being both a Nazi and a child molester". The defense argued that she was not qualified as an art expert, but the judge allowed her to testify as a rebuttal witness. Among her credentials as a media specialist she listed: "preparation of educational videotapes and slide presentations for the Smithsonian Institution worked for Scholastic magazine, created audio-visual segments for television's 'Captain Kangaroo' show, and did research for Attorney General Edwin Meese's commission on pornography and for the conservative American Family Association." During her testimony, Reisman did not discuss the sexually explicit content of Mapplethorpe's work, but rather argued that the five photographs were not works of art because they either did not display a human face, or, in the case of Self-Portrait, the face "...displayed no discernible emotion" and absent emotion, the placement of the photographs in a museum implied that the activities displayed were appropriate. During cross-examination by the defense on her views of homosexuality, Reisman testified that "anal sodomy is traumatically dysfunctional and is definitely associated with AIDS." She also claimed that the pictures of nude children legitimized pedophilia. The defense emphasized that Reisman's experience with art was limited to her work as a songwriter. Barrie and the Center were ultimately acquitted of all charges by the jury.

Sources of child sexual abuse

Reisman has voiced concerns about sexual abuse of children arising from various sources, including naturism, for providing a front to child pornography and molestation; sex education which includes sexually explicit content and describes "deviant" human sexual practices. Reisman characterizes this as "institutional child sexual abuse." She feels that issues of "emotional and sexual intimacy must be off limits to school personnel" due to the potential for abuse; and Playboy magazine, which she claimed was promoting child sexual abuse through carefully planned cartoons. She also later took umbrage when Marge Simpson was featured in a 2009 issue: Reisman wrote that by doing so, Playboy was directly marketing to tweens as pornography "consumers and future performers."

Homosexual seduction and recruitment

Reisman is suspicious of homosexuals, especially those who are youth leaders, fearing that their goal is to "seduce and recruit" children. Reisman has claimed that the recruitment techniques employed by homosexuals rival those of the United States Marine Corps. She describes her first encounter with "a growing and proselytizing 'international academic pedophile movement'" in 1977; when asked further about it in a 2006 interview, she stated: "At the 1977 conference it was largely male homosexual power—pederasty– that was in evidence calling for child access." Reisman cited "a clear avenue for the recruitment of children" by homosexuals in her public support of Oregon Ballot Measure 9 (1992). In 1994 Reisman spoke at a conference of Christian right leaders in Colorado Springs, saying that homosexual "recruitment is loud; it is clear; it is everywhere." She estimated the homosexual population at the time to be 1-2% but predicted at least 20% (and possibly over 30%) "of the young population will be moving into homosexual activity" as a result of recruitment.

Fringe views

Reisman holds views on other sexual matters which are at odds with the mainstream.

Nazis and homosexuals

Journalist Daniel Radosh recounts an unusual charge Reisman makes: that a homosexual movement in Germany gave rise to the Nazi Party and the Holocaust. She endorses The Pink Swastika, which elaborates on this view, contrary to the generally accepted history of persecution of homosexuals in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.

She further has compared modern youth groups for gays to the Hitler Youth. In 2009, Reisman decried the Day of Silence as attacking "traditional parental, American values" and directly compared youth involvement in the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) with the Hitler Youth. She further described GLSEN, in addition to the National Education Association and American Library Association, as being similar to organizations under the Nazi regime which sought "to sever schoolchildren from their parent's religious and sexual training."

Pornography and homosexuality

Another unusual assertion made my Reisman is that "all pornography promotes homosexuality." Reisman explains that "Pornography causes boys to have sex with themselves, psychopharmacologically conditioning them early to male sexual touch" and elaborates further:

Erototoxins

Reisman has postulated a physical mechanism to account for the dangers she ascribes to pornography: when viewed, an addictive "emotional polydrug cocktail mix," which she has dubbed "erototoxins," floods the brain, causing harmful influences to it. She believes that Seung-Hui Cho who committed the Virginia Tech massacre had an addiction to erototoxins. Reisman hopes that MRI studies will prove porn-induced physical brain damage and predicts lawsuits against publishers and distributors of pornography similar to those against Big Tobacco which resulted in the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. Further, if pornography can "subvert cognition," then "these toxic media should be legally outlawed, as is all other toxic waste, and eliminated from our societal structure." Finally, individuals who have suffered brain damage from 'pornography are no longer expressing "free speech" and, for their own good, shouldn't be protected under the First Amendment.'

Countering the sexual revolution

Reisman considers the publication of the Kinsey reports to have caused major social decline in the United States post-World War II. She writes that despite its shortcomings, "pre-Kinsey we still were the greatest, safest, healthiest, wealthiest, most family-protective nation in the world" and summarizes the mores of the time thusly: "American law held that not only were sodomy, adultery, fornication and the like transgressions, those who committed such acts were themselves unacceptable."

Reisman states that Kinsey's publications gave his followers the ability to dismantle the legal framework which had criminalized those forms of sexual activity and altered the public's attitude towards sex by separating it from procreation, making it primarily recreational; the sexual revolution ensued. She strongly argues that the cumulative effect was negative; this "pointed America in a downward direction, promoting today's entire panoply of sexual deviances more common to the Pre-Christian era."

Reisman hopes to counter this and help "restore social virtue once again to our nation," by exposing Kinsey's "fraudulent and criminal science." To that end, she seeks to "educate both the law courts and the court of public opinion, that we've been conned, tricked and manipulated by a corrupt man, a corrupt institute, and a corrupt field of 'sexology' with its offshoots" and desires a congressional investigation of Kinsey and the Kinsey Institute, lawsuits "targeting sex education texts, images, and even speakers that defraud and harm minors" and the repeal of federal and state sex laws drafted post-Kinsey followed by the restoration of the pre-Kinsey prohibitions.
