Kinsey 6

[Tonnelier]

Reading the gay stuff on Literotica is kind of weird for me. So much of it is about married/straight men having a gay experience. I've always found this incredibly hot, maybe because I've never had any inkling of sexual desire for the opposite sex. Though I adore women, the whole idea of sex with one is kind of a turn-off. (No insult intended. I'm sure there's plenty of lesbians out there that feel the same way about dicks!) My first and only sexual thoughts have always been about men, and unfortunately, all the kids in school seemed as aware of this as I was. I was bullied pretty bad. I don't know if there's a question here. Just thought I'd throw it out there. As I said, no insult to women is intended, so please don't flame me.

Dicks are funny-looking IMHO! But yeah, this board is pretty heavily bi-curious and bisexual. I don't know that I'm quite a 6, I would have to say 4.5 or 5 for me, because I find some men aesthetically pleasing (usually androgynous and feminine types) though I would probably not be interested in a relationship with one because I don't really "get" the male mind. I have plenty of male friends, gay and straight, but I don't ever see myself getting into a relationship with a guy. I never say never - life changes when you least expect it - but I "click" so much better with women.

Basically the Kinsey scale is 0 to 6. Somebody who is 0 is 100% heterosexual, somebody who is 6 is 100% homosexual. This counts for fantasies, thoughts, dreams, emotions, and actual sexual interaction.

Kinsey found that very few people are 0 or 6, most people fall somewhere in the middle, because most people at least occasionally think about having sex with their non-preferred gender.

However, many people refer to being a "Kinsey 6" to indicate that they are pretty much only ever interested in the same sex. There's also a band called the "Kinsey Sicks."

There's another type of rating scale, called the Klein Scale or Klein Grid, that analyzes things a little differently. Time is a factor - did you start out straight and later realize you are gay? Also it separates fantasies from actual interactions. You can fill out a survey for it here if you're interested.

Etoile: you need a hug

Heck in the past I have said it in so many ways and well , I think you are beautiful no doubt about that I admire you, and well I don´t care what sexuality you are

you are just you, and that is why I like you for being who you are. And if you are pansexual/ominsexual/lesbian/or for that matter just damn horny , then enjoy it

If a person can behave , then great

And if you can´t behave, then it is just tough shit really so enjoy what you like. And that means everything

Etoile or Etolie who I like to call you you are one who I enjoy admiring

So keep it up and enjoy what you feel is right, and that goes out to all others, who can behave too.

By the way, there was an excellent movie of Kinsey released 2004 I think.

It had Liam Neeson as Kinsey, and Laura Linney as his wife. ALso had Stellan Saarsgard and Chris O'Donnel (Robin, to George Clooney's Batman, he was actually pretty good in this) And a bit part by Tim curry.

Check it out, it's a pretty good insight into Kinsey and his work
