The sexual revolution of the 1950s and 1960s was based on the ideas of three men: Sigmund Freud, Alfred Kinsey, and Hugh Hefner.
Freud claimed that sexual desire could not be controlled or channeled without causing harm to one's psyche. In his model of mental illness, repression would lead to neurosis, because of the dictates of the unconscious mind.[Citation Needed]
Kinsey falsely claimed that 10% of American men were homosexual. He used faulty statistical sampling methods to baffle the unsophisticated.[Citation Needed]
Hefner's "playboy philosophy" was merely a retread of Hedonism, an entirely self-centered pleasure-based life (see also Utilitarianism).[Citation Needed]
