She is at the heart of the modern anti-Kinsey movement.[2] Reisman has guest lectured at numerous educational establishments, including Princeton, Georgetown, Tel Aviv University and the Rutherford Institute, as well as to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado.[1]

[edit] Background
Judith Reisman was born to a second-generation Jewish-American family in 1935 in Newark. Her father, Matthew Gelernter and her mother, Ada, owned a fish business in Irvington.

[edit] Views
In Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences she wrote:
- Kinsey's 'research' alleged that 10% of American males were homosexual, that all of us were bisexual, that children were sexual from birth and could engage in sexual activity with adults without harm... [3]
Reisman has also asserted that Kinsey sexually abused children although no biographer of Kinsey has found evidence for the claim.[2] The Kinsey Institute has stated in response that "Kinsey was not a pedophile in any shape or form."[4]
Reisman says that there are chemical in the brain which she has dubbed "erotoxins" which are are produced by watching pornography and have toxic influences on the brain. [5]
