Sexuality

[jonb]

Yeah, it rates every aspect of your sexual history.

I should note Kinsey preferred not to use the term "bisexual"; in zoology, bisexual means having both sets of sexual organs.

Fritz Klein's developed a seven-by-three matrix of sexual orientation. Same seven points. The seven questions are

*sexual attraction
*sexual behavior
*sexual fantasies
*emotional preference
*social preference
*{heter,hom}osexual lifestle (whatever THAT means)
*self-identification

The three other parts are past, present, and what you hope to be.

It's getting there, but I should point out that a threesome with a man and a woman is a completely different fantasy than two fantasies, one about a man and one about a woman.

Lifestyle is the seventh variable of sexual orientation on the Klein scale;

Some heterosexuals only have sex with the opposite sex but prefer to spend the majority of their time with gay people. On the other hand, homosexual or bisexual persons may prefer to live exclusively in the gay world, the heterosexual world, or even to live in both worlds. Where do you tend to spend time and with whom?
Those who identify as heterosexual may not have the exact same behavior, or those who identify as bisexual may not have the same lifestyle, as another example. Many people were sure that they would be, for instance, heterosexual all their lives, but discovered later that they no longer were due to change of lifestyle, as one's sexual identity may change.

Dr Alfred C.Kinsey published a landmark study called Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male. You might have heard of it. This was the study where he suggested that many men are not 100% homosexual or 100% heterosexual but rather somewhere in between, or as he put it, in highly technical terms, "The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats".

He went on to create what became the "Kinsey Scale" to better describe this sexual orientation continuum. The publication of the Kinsey Scale was really the birth of the modern concept of human sexuality.

The Kinsey Scale
0 - Exclusively heterosexual with no homosexual acts
1 - Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual act
2 - Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual act
3 - Equally heterosexual and homosexual acts
4 - Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual act
5 - Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual act
6 - Exclusively homosexual acts


So, NineInchCock_160IQ, following The Kinsey Scale may we say you're in scale 1? Please do remember that in the total population, single and married, between adolescence and old age there is only a very small percentile 100 % hetero-, or homosexual. Perhaps instead of the percentage ratings used at LPSG at this very moment we use the Kinsey Scale ?

I'm currently a 1 or 2 on the Kinsey scale. It depends on what exactly he means by "incidentally"
