Where are you on the Kinsey Scale?

Background on Kinsey Scale
[0] Exclusively heterosexual with no homosexual experience or desire
[1] Predominantly heterosexual, only incidently 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, but incidentally heterosexual
[6] Exclusively homosexual, with no heterosexual experience or desire
I self-place myself at 4. My ex-wife thinks I’m a 5.

What does “incidentally” mean, exactly.

(I’ll answer in a bit when I have a little more time.)

0, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

However, in an attempt to sound a little more colorful and a lot less boring, I consider myself a straight male…

…I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body. :slight_smile:

Well, I’m not romantically interested in other men in the least. But I am a little bit “bi-curious”, in that I might possibly engage in some (non-penetrative) sexual play with a man I found sufficiently appealing, if the opportunity presented. Just for the experience/thrill of it. But I wouldn’t want to cuddle with him afterwards.:wink:

So put me down as a 1.

Give me a “T”

Give me a “W”

Give me an “O”

What’s that spell?..

College. :wink:

0.5
(is this splitting hairs?)

This is because:

  1. I was once (unexpectedly) kissed by a lesbian - she was thanking me for protesting in support of womens’ sports at our U. So that’s sort of an “experience”.
  2. If my SO really wanted it, or I really wanted to please him and thought this would do the trick, I’d probably have another woman in bed with us, but I wouldn’t do it just for myself.
  3. I have pretended to be “with” girlfriends (e.g. in clubs) to get guys to leave us alone. Is that “incidental”?
    Lame, I know.

Somewhere between 0 and 1, I guess. I’ve thought about other women on occasion, but have never actually done anything.

I find certain female movie star/celebrity types very attractive or sexy, but not in a way that provokes sexual arousal, if that makes any sense. More like, “Wow she’s gorgeous! If I looked like that, I could do anything. I could be running the world in fifteen minutes. I wish I looked like her.” Like I can understand what the men are on about…but I haven’t a clue as to how they go from there, physically or emotionally. I find that interesting.

Ahem. Strictly out of curiosity about sexuality, I have tried to have lesbian fantasies, but it seems to work only if I’m already aroused by thinking about men, and then the fantasy goes, like, ahem like, we’re, you know, performing for the guy’s benefit. Ahem!

Well, based on everyone else’s replies, I’d say I was pretty much a zero. I’ve had emotional crushes on a couple of women–by which I mean admiring them, including their looks–but I didn’t want to have sex with them. I like looking at women, but really only in the way that a35362 describes.

Another 0 here… which is ironic, as we can just call that the story of my life in 3 words… Impressive, eh? :slight_smile:

Somewhere between 2 and 3, a little bit closer to 2.

I’ve been curious about other women, too.

But I’m a man, so that still leaves me at 0.

7

0… but it’s due to simply not being interested not due to any repulsion to the idea…

I’d go with on the line between 0 and 1. Occasionally curious, but not enough to try anything.

So, I suppose if I have to pick a round number, it’s gotta be 1.

somewhere between a 5 and a 6. ive had both girlfriends and boyfriends in the past. but most of the people i find sexually attractive are women, with a few men thrown in.
the person who i am with now and hope to be with for the rest of my life is a guy.

Hastur: :smiley:

Me…hmm…5.5, I suppose. There’s the remote possibility that at some time, I may find a particular woman or women attractive, but they’d have to be exceptional in some way (personality, interests, meshiness with my brain). I don’t find random women I meet day by day attractive in that way at all. I’ve met one woman I could have fallen in love with, and know another online, though I’ve never actually spoken to her or seen her in person.

In general, though, I’m gay, gay, gay!

2, maybe 2.5.

I’m not going by experience here, though, since I’ve only done ANYTHING with two people, both male. That’s due more to lack of opportunity than lack of attraction.

I find 0s and 6s equally inscrutable.
