- English abstract
- The paper investigates how, in the aftermath of the Kinsey reports and within the context of the Cold War, East and West German sexology turned towards empirical sex research to survey young people’s sexual behaviours and moral beliefs. The paper argues that statistical data produced by sex surveys not only created a historical reality of young people’s sexual attitudes and behaviours but also shaped new standards of «normality». Statistical data were turned into discursive events that were popularised by the wider media, inviting young people to relate sexual moral judgements and behaviours to the statistical average of their peer-group.
