Our mission is to foster and promote a greater understanding of human sexuality through research, historical preservation, and education programs exploring sexuality, relationships, and well-being.

Research at the Kinsey Institute seeks to illuminate the most intimate and formative aspects of our lives. Connecting psychology, medicine, anthropology, public health, neuroscience, and other scientific fields, our interdisciplinary approach drives groundbreaking discoveries, shapes societal understanding, and fosters innovations that reduce harm and promote well-being. Our research addresses critical issues ranging from preventing sexual assault to investigating the effects of aging on sexuality to exploring ways to improve the sexual experience for people with disabilities.

The Kinsey Institute Library & Special Collections encompass over 700,000 items, including print materials, film and video, fine art, artifacts, photography, and archives collected from six continents and spanning more than 2,000 years of human history. These items provide an unequalled resource for scholars and scientists that we are proud to steward and preserve.

Your support helps make all of this possible. Together, we continue to build a legacy of research that will transform lives for generations to come.
