      Kinsey’s core research team during this time included several of his closest collaborators: Clyde Martin, Wardell Pomeroy, and Paul Gebhard, which is the group that helped code the early sexual-behavior histories and build the datasets behind *Sexual Behavior in the Human Male* (1948) and *Sexual Behavior in the Human Female* (1953). Much of the Institute’s work in the early 1950s involved hand-coding interview data, compiling statistical tables, and reviewing field reports. Other influential figures in Kinsey’s circle — such as Ralph Voris, an early confidant whose thinking shaped Kinsey’s work — also contributed to the intellectual foundations of the project.
