Poll: Kinsey scale, where are you?

[Griffolion]

I'm a 0
I don't have anything against homsexuallity but I am only interested about women.

Same.

Also, I love how after your declaration of your heterosexuality, you had to almost justify it by clearing your name of any potential homophobia due to your heterosexuality.

I'm not saying that against you or anything, so don't take it offensively. It was more of a poke at the state of our culture today.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I'm a one. I joke about a lot of stuff, but the thought of actually doing anything with another guy repulses me. Although I could quite happily spend a while stroking Matt Bellamy's face...

3, I'm right on the fence waiting to be invited over to one side for awhile. Inevitably I'll be back on the fence, again awaiting for someone.

Bi and I like it.

 

[thom_cat_]

uhhh... Y? where's pansexual on this scale?
and if you really wanted to be accurate, it would need gynosexual and androsexual.

If I wanted to be accurate, I wouldn't be using an internet poll with 8 limited options on a gaming forum. Think about it.

 

[Kanatatsu]

Sittin' on the ol' #4 spot over here. I'd prefer to be a bedfellow or be in a relationship with another guy, but I wouldn't shy away from being with a woman at all.

Personally, from what I've seen from my own experiences with other people I'd say that there's truly no such thing as a person who's 0 (completely heterosexual) or 6 (completely homosexual). We all have that one person[footnote]If you consider yourself mainly hetero or homosexual that is. Obviously, if your bi- or pan- there are a hell of a lot more than just one...[/footnote] we'd go gay/straight for, and if you don't you either are lying or just haven't found them yet. Thus, I'd go so far as saying most people who consider themselves heterosexual are actually sitting at 1 on the scale and most people who consider themselves homosexual actually are 5's.

"We all have that one person we'd go gay/straight for, and if you don't you either are lying or just haven't found them yet."

This is not true for many people.

 

[Ersanven]

Thanks to some weird events in the pool at sports camp I'm going to go one.

 

[Cette]

Umm like 87.39 percent straight so....... 1 I guess?

Kinda factor dudes into the same area I would an unattractive woman. Not actively repulsed but not really interested either.

 

[MisterM2402]

Not sure what "only incidentally" and "more than incidentally" mean :S Anyone care to explain?

My guess would be somewhere between 1 and 2, but then I couldn't be sure, for aforementioned reason. Maybe even somewhere between 0 and 1. Or maybe just 1. Who knows?

only incidentally, if you may manage to have feelings but not very often, more on the off chance. "casually homosexual" haha
more than incidentally, if you have feelings but they're more solid.

But really, it's however you interpret the poll, I don't mind

 

[staika]

I would consider myself at the most a 1 but I think I'm a o. I just have never been attracted to guys

 

[loc978]

I know most guys (at least in the US) who claim to be a zero are really either a one or a two... but... I'm a zero. I've got a few friends who are threes (one of whom had a crush on me... it took me awhile to get over the squick feeling, but I did) whom I've had long conversations about this with, and I'm just not attracted to men. I find the male form to be neutral and functional, while a healthy female form is desirable. Go figure.

 

[Something Amyss]

I'm a 3.14159265. Only sexually attracted to irrational numbers. So long and hard to calculate.

But really a 0. Some slight curiosity existed, but would never translate to actual action.

You think that's bad? I'm the square root of negative one. only attracted to i people.

OT: I seriously think the Kinsey Scale is ineffective and rather pointless. I really don't belong on there, sorry.

 

[PureIrony]

1. I'd never say that there isn't an incident where I wouldn't try something, and if there's one thing that the voice of Keith David has taught me, its that a person't sexuality isn't set in stone.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

I'm bi, I know that much. As for where I am on the scale.

On the Kinsey Scale, you are a 3 (like me). 3 is the "bisexual" option (both hetero and homosexual). Technically 2 and 4 are bisexual as well, but with leanings towards heter or homosexuality.

The Kinsey scale isn't about being exact - it's about having an approximation.

I mean, you wouldn't say "I'm neither five feet tall, nor six feet tall, therefore I cannot be measured." Scales are never perfect - they're merely tools.

 

[conflictofinterests]

Somewhere between 2 and X. I like guys a little more than I like girls, but girls are definitely appealing. Also, I don't find bodies attractive, so I'm asexual with libido. (As for liking who I do, it's all about personality and intelligence. I'm a sub, so doms turn me on, also intelligence is a big turn on for me too (the better to dominate me with)

I'm confused as to why you (and others in this thread) think that the Kinsey scale assumes your sexuality is set in stone.

Kinsey is the one who pioneered the idea that sexuality changes throughout someone's life. He believed that people would move through different parts of his scale.

Kinsey himself started at 0, and worked his way up through 4 or 5, then moved back down.

The Kinsey scale, like any scale, is only meant to measure where someone is at the moment. You wouldn't say that a bathroom scale is wrong because it said you weighted 150 pounds last week and 145 this week - you'd say "oh, I lost weight". You moved on the scale.

 

[chiggerwood]

I'm an X. A true X, I have no interest in sex, or romance, or having a relationship other than friendship. Sex and the pursuit of sex to me is just plain boring, silly, inconsequential, and completely unnecessary. People have OBVIOUSLY hit on me and I didn't even notice, porn holds as much excitement to me as looking at tree bark, and there could be an orgy happening right next to me and it wouldn't interest me, well OK I'd ask what the fuck they were doing in my room, and demand they leave before they stain something, but that's about it.

And in case you're wondering. Yes I've been this way throughout my entire life, even through puberty. However I do think a woman's body is more beautiful than a mans. I also question the sanity of anyone gay, straight, or bi who thinks a dick looks attractive. It looks like a deformed flesh colored mushroom with a turkey neck that's had a couple of marbles stuffed in it stapled on. Same thing with the Cooch I just can't find a funny way to describe it.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

I would call myself a 6 just to save time but... if I'm being honest? I may not want to fuck women but I do find them incredibly sexy from time to time. So with that in mind, conceivably there might be some situation where I would actually sleep with a woman, however unlikely.

So I put myself at a 5, at a stretch.

 

[Wintermoot]

I never bothered to think about my sexuality.

 

[Erana]

Nonsexual (X), because sex and all that is for people with spare time for actions and thoughts.
And no, it isn't just a low sex drive. And no, it isn't because of some earlier event in my life.
It just is the way I am, like some people are homosexual, or hetero, or pan, etc.

A-yup.

Asexuals can have relationships without not being asexy. Its just that its hard to find another nonsexual whose just right, so the whole sex part would be a messy complication.

I have no interest in relationships at this point, but I do want kids, I don't want to go it alone, and I am capable of loving another person, so I suppose I could deal with the sex part if it for someone else and having children. I suppose it would be like going to some event you don't like to make someone you care about happy, or something. And I'd probably be doing that in a lot of other situations, anyway; I hate concerts.
