Geared to college-age viewers, Kinsey Confidential offers authoritative answers, insights about sex
New look, same non-judgmental, factual source of sexuality information
The new Kinsey Confidential, a sexuality information service designed for college-age adults, is not only packed full of information about all things sexual, but it looks good, too.
The recently redesigned Web site and blog, found at http://kinseyconfidential.org, provides accurate, research-based answers to sex questions from a trusted source -- The Kinsey Institute for Research on Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University. Kinsey Confidential features current news and research blogs, book reviews and in-depth information on sex and gender topics. Answers to questions about sex are available through podcasts on the site and through iTunes, in conjunction with WFIU public radio, and through a weekly syndicated newspaper column.
"With all of the sexual content online, it's surprising how little is available that is honest, open and factual," says Jennifer Bass, communications director at The Kinsey Institute. "We're not out to sell a product, or to be the edgiest of advice columnists, but we do expect to be a great source for accurate and up to date information on contraception, relationships and sex. People still have questions about their sexual lives, and we're here to provide non-judgmental answers, as well as reporting and reflecting on relevant news and research."
Kinsey Confidential's Health Educator is Debby Herbenick, associate director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion in IU's School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Adam Schweigert, Web designer and podcast engineer, is online director at WFIU/WTIU, Indiana University.
Other contributors include Bass; Bradley Blankenship, Ph.D. candidate in higher education and student affairs at IU, where he also is a project coordinator for the Center for Sexual Health Promotion; Eric Grollman, Ph.D candidate and sociology instructor at IU; and Natalie Ingraham, an IU Master of Public Health graduate who is now pursuing a doctorate in medical sociology at University of California San Francisco.
