Paul Henry Gebhard
(July 3, 1917 – July 9, 2015) was an American
anthropologist
and
sexologist
. Born in
Rocky Ford, Colorado
, he earned a B.S. and a Ph.D. from
Harvard
in 1940 and 1947, respectively. Between the years 1946 and 1956, Gebhard was a close colleague to sex researcher
Alfred Kinsey
. It was acknowledged in Gebhard's New York Times obituary that Kinsey was in fact his mentor and that Gebhard was fascinated when Kinsey first met him and revealed to him that the men's room at
Grand Central Terminal
in New York City was a frequent site for gay
cruising
.
Following Kinsey's death in 1956, Gebhard became the second director of the
Kinsey Institute
and served in that capacity from 1956 to 1982. In 1953,
[2]
Gebhard co-authored the second of the two
Kinsey Reports
, which as known as "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female." He has also claimed that the statistical bias in the data had not materially affected the results of either of the two reports. He joined the Department of Anthropology of
Indiana University
in 1947, and retired in 1986. Paul Gebhard was born to Paul Gebhard, Sr. and Eva Baker, who worked as an elementary schoolteacher. He married and later divorced Agnes West, and was married to Joan Huntington until her death in 2004. Following a brief illness, Gebhard died near his home in Indiana on July 9, 2015, aged 98. He was survived by three children of his first marriage and two stepchildren from his second.
