Poll question: Where do you fall on the Kinsey Scale?
I think this is a better way of putting it.

6. You talking about attraction
Or actual acts of sexual congress? I'd have two different answers.

8. Where is this sexual congress, and how does one become elected?

23. The Sexual Congress of Vienna is probably what you mean.
It was established after the War of the Austrian Sex Session and replaced the Holy Roman Orgy. It depends on birth. If, for instance, you are descended from the Elector of Sexony you are automatically a member.

9. isn't that somehow determined by some test he made up?
It's not like you just pick a number, or that that number means anything apart from what he said it does as determined by the test.

11. I believe that's the fuck by numbers test.
It's kind of like paint by numbers, but instead of a paint brush...err...I've already said too much.

15. Yes, it's in all fine craftstores, usually located in the adult section.
You can't miss it, it has the three handmade wooden x's.

10. Either DU is a very unusual population, people here are remarkably self-decieving,
or almost half the current respondents are lying. Christ, either uptight white people in the fifties (sexology fact: Kinsey was very resistant to studying people of color) were much more sexually varied and interesting than DUers, or a lot of people here are bullshitting.

More than half Kinsey zeroes my pasty white ass. *snort*

12. I mean, come on, these people never experimented at camp?

:shrug:

Or may be that should be "experimented with camp"?

13. Seriously.
There should be a hell of a lot more people choosing 1 through something even if they are straight.

44. Why?
There are plenty of people who are just straight, never experimented, never had desire to.
Nothing inusual or wrong with it. Nothing great about it. Just is.

Not firsthand, I mean from a test I took.

I should probably clarify that.

18. I agree. And perhaps it is because ...
gays are tired of this question coming up, or that anyone gives a shit.

I did not vote in this poll. I just don't give a shit what other people think.

Oops! I cussed about it! ZZZzzzzzz. :boring:

29. I think most people think about it
but don't act on it. Like "What would it be like to suck another man off" or " what it would be like to kiss my my best girlfriend?"
I'm only indifferent honest, but I'll happily tell you about my sex life (if you have a few hours.) It's difficult for a lot of people,sady.

Anyway, not one of my hang ups.

Khash.

"Being bi doubles your chances of having a date Saturday night..

35. The second one ain't exactly true though.
There are plenty of people who won't date people who are bi for various reasons.

but never acted on it" I guess that would be me?

21. That scale doesn't work for me
I'd identify as sadomasochist (emphasis on the masochism part), and I prefer men but I love women. Sexuality is fluid, especially mine.

30. 4 - 4.5
I am much more strongly attracted to women, but there are more than a few guys who can cause me to raise an eyebrow. *L*

36. Like I said on a similar post, a 1 dimensional scale doesn't have enough workaround for me. :)
Edited on Wed May-21-08 10:35 PM by DarkTirade
I'd probably lean more towards the hetero end just because I'm male and I tend to find more women attractive than men... although in my case, compatability is 95% of my attraction, and it's just easier for somebody who doesn't get out much to meet compatable straight/bi women than it is to meet gay/bi men. :P

I'm taking the Morrissey stance. People are sexual, and I don't give a rat's ass about the superlative.
