What number would it be if you weren’t sexually attracted to either sex?

Ah well, I’ll estimate a 1. Female.

Is it possible to identify oneself on this scale if one has few fantasies and no real life encounters? I could still place myself from the few sexual thoughts I have, but I don’t know if it would be accurate.

female, 0.5.

I don’t know if 0.5 is right. I think some women are gorgeous, but I don’t want to do them. _shrug_

Male, 0.5 - allowing for the fact that I can judge a man to be very attractive. But I’ve never wanted to _do_ a guy, or be done by one.

**lel** , fantasies should be taken into account when assigning a number to yourself.

**Happy** , a good researcher always keeps himself separate from the research project! 😃

**superbee** , sorry, I didn’t mean to ignore you. I would say that yes, incidents are incidental. And that sounds like it could be one. It’s your call though.

Thanks to everyone so far, my goal is to get about 500 data points (replies with gender and number). Then I think I’ll have a good statistical sampling. We’re well on our way!

Male 0.

One of my friends in England had as his motto “I’m not just a 6, I’m a TEN!” The Kinsey scale always makes me laugh after hearing that…

a slight emendation, dopers! (I knew I should have planned this study better!) If you posted to the previous threads, feel free to do so again. I’ll weed the duplicates out. I’m encountering a lot of “unknown gender” in the earlier threads. And for the data to be most useful, I really need at least a kinsey score AND gender.

My thanks to all of you who have chosen to participate! 😃
