Those are reasonable surmises, but I’d have to summarize my taste in females, in a word, as “boyish”. Small (but not too small) breasts, slim hips, shorter hair, pretty face.

Not that all my female partners matched that description, however.

Thanks for your insight. Also, it’s been a long time since I’ve read the Kinsey report. Is 5.5 considered bi-sexual?

You’re welcome.

On the [Kinsey Scale](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale), a **6** is “Exclusively homosexual”, while a **5** is “Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual”.

So why didn’t I just say I was a 5? No particularly good reason. I guess that in my mind I was trying to note that I haven’t been a **5** at all in the last twenty years.  
ETA: Oh, and in my description of the “boyish” type, I should have added “minimal or no makeup”.
