Some of his research concerned adult-child sexual contacts:

	:"The contacts often involved considerable affection, and some of the older females in the sample felt that their pre-adolescent experiences had contributed favourably to their later socio-sexual development. On the other hand, some 80 per cent of the children had been emotionally upset or frightened by their contacts with adults. A small portion had been seriously disturbed; but in most instances the reported fright was nearer the level that children will show when they see insects, spiders, or other objects against which they have been adversely conditioned. If a child were not culturally conditioned, it is doubtful if it would be disturbed by sexual approaches of the sort which had usually been involved in these histories. It is difficult to understand why a child, except for its cultural conditioning, should be disturbed at having its genitalia touched, or disturbed at seeing the genitalia of other persons, or disturbed at even more specific sexual contacts. [...] Some of the more experienced students of juvenile problems have come to believe that the emotional reaction of the parents, police officers, and other adults who discover that the child has had such a contact, may disturb the child more seriously than the sexual contacts themselves. The current [[Pedo-hysteria\|hysteria]] over sex offenders may very well have serious effects on the ability of many of these children to work out sexual adjustments some years later in their marriages."		:"The contacts often involved considerable affection, and some of the older females in the sample felt that their pre-adolescent experiences had contributed favourably to their later socio-sexual development.

	Today, many sexologists see the Kinsey scale as relevant to sexual orientation but not comprehensive enough to cover all sexual identity issues. They suggest that [[sexual identity]] involves at least three different spectra, [[sexual orientation]] being only one of them (two others being biological sex and [[gender identity]]).<ref>~~url=~~http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/sexual-orientation-gender-4329.htm ~~\|title=~~Sexual Orientation & Gender \|publisher=Planned Parenthood \|date= \|accessdate=2012-09-06</ref>		[[Image:Kinsey Scale.png\|thumb\|400 px\|Kinsey scale of sexual responses, indicating degrees of sexual orientation]]

In such studies, the person would be asked a question such as "If 0 is completely gay and 10 is completely hetero, what is your orientation number?".<ref>Sexuality Now: Embracing Diversity (2006) - Janbell L Caroll</ref>		There have been similar studies where the scale is from 0 to 10.
