Where do you lie on the Kinsey Scale?

The Kinsey scale attempts to describe a person's sexual history or episodes of their sexual activity at a given time. It uses a scale from 0, meaning exclusively heterosexual, to 6, meaning exclusively homosexual.

0 Exclusively heterosexual
1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual; bisexual.
4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
6 Exclusively homosexual

I would say I'm between a 4 and 5.

Sorry if this topic has already been brought up, but I didn't see it.

I would say I am between 1 and 2.

Probably a 5.

Can't say for sure though.

Probably a 1 or thereabouts.

I'd have to say a 2.

I also really like the idea of a scale rather than a line in the sand. Kudos to Kinsey for that!

Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm.

I am a dedicated 6 yet I can't rule out being a 5.

Yucky, I'm with YOU! You're my kinda guy. (Oops! Does that make me a 1 or 2?)

Seriously, when a guy hits on me I say, "Sorry. Guys just don't smell right to me." It works every time. I guess that makes me a 0 - well... I've always thought of myself as a zero. ;P

I have never believed that any man or woman can be a true level 3.

I'd say 6. My earlier years would have been 5. I'm comfortably, and happily, 6 .

I hear the jury is still out on science.

I would likely be classified as a 2 or a 3.....

....and very proud of it. :)

I love both women and men, and have never felt compelled to limit myself in that regard.

Cheers!
