I just saw the movie "Kinsey" over the weekend and have been thinking about his scale of 0 to 6. You score a 0 if you're 100% absolutely, positively, hetero, and 6 if you are 100% absolutely, positively homosexual.
Most people fall between the two. I just wonder how many 0s there are in the world and how many 6s? I count myself as a heterosexual, but I would probably score a 1.5 on the scale. I think this must be how it is with most self-proclaimed heterosexuals. But I find many heterosexuals very militant about scoring a 0, especially the women I know!
Does anyone think it is the same with most gay people? I'm sure there are some 6s out there, but I wonder if the average would fall somewhere in the 5s?
Any thoughts?

Hi!
I suppose I'd be a 5.
>But I find many heterosexuals very militant about scoring a 0, especially the women I know!
Especially the men I know! I think that men generally seem to be more homophobic than women. For some hetero men, being thought of as possibly being gay is apparantly the worst thing in the world!

And I'm attracted to straight women. Not because they're straight but they just always are. Oh, I don't know. It's just awful.

Hi crushed!
Sorry to pop into this thread and interrupt. I'll only be a minute. I survived my first week back in the work-a-day trenches. Wasn't bad, really. How are you doing with your own return to the office scene? Atticus

Wow!
I've realized that I have absolutely no idea where I am on the scale. I used to think I was hetero, but as a transgendered person what does that even mean? I think, trying to be honest with myself, that I must be a 3. At least a 3 is within 3 points of being correct whatever I am.
Dee.

i'm not sure i'm worth all that though. :[

no apologies necessary, atti! i'm sure we're all glad to see you (well, i certainly am).i thought you weren't going to work?? or you just didn't start on monday as i did?
my return to the work world was pretty smooth. i think it's actually been pretty good for me, although it's reminding me also why i don't want to do it long-term. and the beauty part is I DON'T HAVE TO!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! sorry. just a little manic. didn't mean to rub that in.
i'm very glad you're alive and kicking.

In reply to Kinsey scale, posted by Miss Honeychurch on January 4, 2005, at 15:24:45
A two dimensional scale just doesn't cover the range of sexuality, IMHO. I figure I'm somewhere around a 2. But my preference for imaginary, celluloid, or in-text men is greater than my preference for real men over real women. Also I'm predominately solosexual. Which isn't covered at all, unless it means that I should push myself higher on the scale. And then, solosexuality adds a whole new range of possibilities. Sensuality is everywhere. I can't even begin to imagine the number of things I'm just as attracted to as men or women.
Or maybe I really am schizotypal.
