This is based on the current Kinsey Scale thread.
How many of you are in relationships in which you and your partner have different Kinsey Scale numbers? Or for those of you not in relationships, how important would such a difference be?
In my case, I’m totally gay (6) and my partner is equally bisexual (3). He actually describes himself as “pansexual.” Before we met, he’d had sex/relationships with just about any kind of human being on the planet (and I think a few aliens). Since then, we’ve been totally monogamous for almost 23 years, and he has told me that nothing would change if I were female. He’s totally indifferent to gender, and loves people for what they are. He says he doesn’t miss having sex with women, any more than he misses it with other men. I, on the other hand, would still love him if he were female, but not sexually. (And at 6’10”, he’d be a rather gruesome Amazon.)
Stealing from the other thread, here’s the Kinsey Scale:
0 Exclusively heterosexual
1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual; bisexual.
4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
6 Exclusively homosexual
X Asexual, Non-Sexual
