Alfred C. Kinsey's 1948 book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, influenced the author as a teenager looking for sex information. In 2007, almost 60 years after the book's publication, the author visited the Kinsey Institute on the Indiana University campus in Bloomington for research and attended the Indiana Sexual Health Summit, where Kinsey Institute Director Julia R. Heiman gave the keynote address, of which some points are outlined here. Photographs illustrate the author's walking tour that same day of the building that now houses the Kinsey Institute, the Kinsey homestead, and Kinsey's gravesite. Despite a very inconspicuous presence around Bloomington today, Kinsey's legacy endures
