title: Problems of sex and the problem with nature: A commentary on "Beyond Kinsey".
abstract: In this commentary on the three articles in the special section "Beyond Kinsey: The Committee for Research in Problems of Sex and American Psychology," I focus on the implications of each author's analysis for understanding scientific constructions of sex and sexuality by examining the complex intersection of sex and nature. I show how each paper illuminates the ways nature was deployed by researchers investigating one of the most intimate yet most political aspects of being human. What did they count as "natural" when it came to sex and sexuality? What did they exclude or overlook? What political and moral work did the rhetoric of "the natural" do?
