Dissociative identity disorder is a diagnosis described as the existence in an individual of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.

Aternet has an extensive article on her from 2004, which I don't have time to read ATM.

"Information concerning the sexual responses of children was obtained from older subjects recalling their own childhood, parents observing their children, and a very few adult men who had engaged in sexual activity with children."
So he did in fact use data collected from abusers. I consider that damned unethical, and I think all colleges would also now, as well they should.
I don't know that it discredits the rest of his data, but nowadays surveying child sex abusers is done post-conviction, whether in jail or otherwise.

Kinsey was involved in making some sort of documentary in Crowley's now-abandoned house in Italy.
I will not draw conclusions that I have no reputably-sourced evidence for, because I firmly stand behind what education I have managed to get.
I tend to be very careful about what I accept as proven.
However, any of us may believe whatever we wish.

The above link has some effing appalling statistics.
"He has also focused upon occult themes in many of his films, being fascinated by the notorious English occultist Aleister Crowley, and is a follower of Crowley's religion, Thelema."

Well George I will say this I believe nothing Kinsey did in the name of research was normal.Even his definition of orgasm in children which was taken from the observations of pedophiles can be construed as a response to rape.This is how he defined orgasms in children.
Orgasm was defined as follows:
Extreme tension with violent convulsions: ...sudden heaving and jerking of the whole body... gasping... hands grasping, mouth distorted, sometimes with tongue protruding; whole body or parts of it spasmodically twitching...violent jerking of the penis...groaning, sobbing, or more violent cries, sometimes with an abundance of tears (especially among younger children).... hysterical laughing, talking, sadistic or masochistic reactions... extreme trembling, collapse, loss of color, and sometimes fainting of subject.... some...suffer excruciating pain and may scream ...if the penis is even touched....some...before the arrival of orgasm, will fight away from the partner and may make violent attempts to avoid climax although they derive definite pleasure from the situation.[19]
Many people(children included) have panic attacks while being raped and that can be misconstrued by a rapist as them having pleasure from the experience. Rapist also use this to manipulate their victims into believing that they enjoyed their abuse and to shame them into silence. I know this to be true because not only have I experienced it but my own brother admitted to me that the young girl he raped and went to jail for was convulsing.He misconstrued her pain attack as an orgasm.Also my own mother in law has admitted to me she suffered panic attacks while being raped. I also believe those panic attacks are when splits and new alters are formed.I have had a major panic attack like that without being raped.It was at a time of extreme emotional stress and my whole body convulsed and shook and a new alter was formed.They are known as Psychogenic non-epileptic seisures and many people with MPD/DID suffer from them.
