Rate Yourself on the Kinsey Scale!

Well, to be honest I’ll still trying to establish how “incidentally” is best interpreted in my personal-experience and personal-preference continuum. I think there was definitely a time when I was contemplating the ways in which I could respond to attentions from guys, even it was pretty shy contemplation. Then there were some incidents, the unpleasantness of which sort of shook me up and caused me to reassess things and I ended up practicing exclusively on the other side after all.

The “0.7412” was my snide way of saying that the Kinsey scale itself implies a permanent point on a linear scale which is more precise than I feel about it…

1.5

'Nother boring 0 here.

I wonder what the average is for us dopers…

I know what you mean. Before I even knew about the Kinsey Scale I thought up my own scale on a basis of 1 through 10, which would capture a wider range of sexual orientations. Kinsey probably didn’t want to give people too much of a choice. At least it beats the usual three point scale: straight, bi, or gay.

There’s hope yet . . . :wink:

2, myself. Well . . . somewhere between 1.75 and 2.25.

2
Mainly cuz of the boobies :wink:

1–for the same reason as Pepperlandgirl.

Was Kinsey gay? I mean hets rate nothing & gays rate it all. Not fair.

Aren’t there rules about posting this kind of link?! I mean, there are antlers in one of those pictures. Think of the children!

1, for what it’s worth, which is probably less than 1.

You can’t get any more three than me, hee hee! :slight_smile:

Firmly 6 here, although at one time in my life I would’ve rated a 4.5 or 5. I usually refer to that period as my “when-I-tried-to-convince-myself-that-I-was-straight” phase. But I grew out of it!

5-ish.

To me sleeping with a man is like drinking O’Douls. It can be kinda ok but the real thrill just isn’t there. But just kissing a woman…oh yeah :smiley:

Hum…i’d think you meant more of a two or three by this. 5ish means you’re predominantly homosexual, but have some thoughts about women.

Um…actually 5ish makes me predominantly lesbian. A girl who likes to kiss girls… :wink:

Damn. I should have some incredibly witty, smart-ass comment about this thread, but I just can’t think of anything. It’s too early in the morning, I guess.

Oh, well. Count me in with the others who said 0.

I guess I’m a 2 to 2-1/2. pepperlandgirl and Brynda have the right idea…

[homer voice]mmm…boobies…[/homer voice]

2, but only because I’m married. That keeps up the, um, interest.

If I wasn’t married, I would be a 5.

::shudder at the prospect of self-disclosure::

2.6, but I am a bit more brave around the opposite sex as far as propositions go.
