In Mary Roach's book "Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex," she discusses Kinsey's unconventional request for Dellenback to document his own staff. This request opens up multiple interpretations, each valid in its own right. The varying meanings reflect the complexities of the human relationships involved in scientific research.

Roach highlights how Kinsey's approach not only emphasizes the nature of scientific inquiry but also points to the personal dynamics within the research team. By urging Dellenback to film his colleagues, Kinsey challenges conventional boundaries and explores the intersection of professionalism and personal interactions in the study of human sexuality.
