Not looking for prurient details here, only raw numbers on where you feel you fit on the **Kinsey Scale** which measures sexual orientation. Also your gender, if you’re willing. > [@](#): > > From: [Kinsey Scale](http://www.lgbtcampus.org/resources/training/kinsey_scale.html) > 0 - exclusively heterosexual > 1 - predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homosexual > 2 - predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual > 3 - equally heterosexual and homosexual > 4 - predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual > 5 - predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual > 6 - exclusively homosexual > > It is necessary to consider a variety of activities in assessing an individual’s ranking on the continuum: > · fantasies · dreams · thoughts > · frequency of sexual activities · emotional feelings > > Therefore, many “heterosexuals” would fall, in fact, somewhere between 0 and 3 because they occasionally think/dream/fantasize about sexual activities with members of the same gender and/or occasionally act on these feelings. I’m Planning on combining this with two other threads here at SDMB: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=125074](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=125074) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56660](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56660) in hopes of getting enough numbers to make a statistically significant comparison as to how the population at SDMB compares to other populations. If you’ve posted to the other threads, feel free to post here **if you think your response has changed from the last posting**. I will be cross-referencing posternames to avoid duplications, and the latest post rating for a given postername will be used. So please review the criteria (and please account for fantasy, rather than just actual real life encounters) and give me a number if you care to. Also a gender based on external body morphology (innie vs. outie and I don’t mean belly-buttons). Thanks for your consideration. I will not be making any money off of this study in any way that I can forsee. No email addresses will be shared based on this study either. QtM, MD ---

I’m sorry I’m so stupid. What does “incidentally homosexual” mean? I masturbated into the fire pit while camping out with a buddy when I was 12. We had swiped some Playboys, and, well, you know…was that an incident? Am I incidental? ---

4.5, if you (like me) consider the “0” and “6” options theoretical extremes that real people don’t actually fall under. If “0” and “6” are considered viable choices that probably bumps me up to a “5”. ---

Female, 0. I’m in favor of everyone’s right to be whoever they are, whatever point on the scale they may be, but for myself, I’m just a boring zero. ---

male, 0 well, I’d like to say 0, but I’d have to agree with **Lamia** that they are just theoretical extremes. However, I can’t say that I’ve ever found another male stimulating, so I’d have to say I’m 0.00001 or someting like that [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-dopers-quantify-your-sexuality-please/145412.md?page=2)
