Every culture produces
its own peculiar sexual imagery...
:58:06
as distinct as its cuisine.
:58:08
As you can see, Brazil's imagery
tends towards zoophilia...
:58:12
while Italy favors nuns and priests.
:58:15
In England, one often sees depictions
of the stern headmistress...
:58:18
wankers and spankers.
:58:20
While in the Far East,
it's soft "flage" and light bondage.
:58:24
You've amassed
an impressive collection.
:58:27
Thank you. Only what I've been able
to afford from my own savings.
:58:31
But if the Rockefeller Foundation
agrees to our grant...
:58:34
some of that money will help us
build a world-class library.
:58:37
Um, Herman? That's 200 years old.
:58:40
- Oh.
- Have you any idea when you might decide?
:58:45
Prok, please, Dr. Gregg just got here.
:58:48
Sometimes I'm amazed anything has survived.
:58:52
The Library of Congress has a policy...
:58:55
of destroying whatever
it considers too erotic.
:58:57
The loss to science has been, uh, incalculable.
:59:01
There's plenty of time to take
your sex histories before dinner.
:59:04
Who'd like to go first?
:59:08
L...
:59:10
L-I... I don't, uh...
:59:13
Early in my bug-hunting days,
someone asked me what I was looking for.
:59:17
I said I wouldn't know
until I saw it statistically.
:59:20
A scientist can only generalize
with reliable certainty...
:59:23
if he has enough
statistical information.
:59:26
Is this your first time
in Bloomington, Dr. Gregg?
:59:28
Yes. It's lovely.
Hillier than I expected.
:59:32
That's why I've broken
the American population down...
:59:34
into 200 major social subgroups.
:59:37
We'll get anywhere from 400
to a thousand histories from each group...
:59:40
for a total of 100,000,
give or take a few.
:59:44
It could take 20 years, but, at the end,
we'll finally be able to answer...
:59:47
most of the basic questions
about human sexuality.
:59:50
Herman, is the pot roast dry?
:59:52
No. It's delicious.
:59:54
The first publication
will be a male volume...
:59:57
followed a year later
by the female study...
:59:59
then another nine books dealing
with sex offenders, homosexuality...
