Former Kinsey Institute Director Dr. John Bancroft

John Bancroft, M.D., served as the director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction from May of 1995 to April of 2004. His clinical experience in the management of sexual problems spans more than 25 years. Dr. Bancroft has published more than 200 papers related to sex research. He is the author of "Human Sexuality and Its Problems," which is regarded as one of the most comprehensive works published on human sexuality. At the time of this interview, the Kinsey Institute was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the publication of Alfred Kinsey's "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female," a study that created controversy and revolutionized the way Americans perceived sexual behavior.
