Take The Kinsey Test With Me

Kinsey Scale Test

WWW.IDRLABS.COM

---

This test will give you your results on the Kinsey scale.

I've read  it's not considered that relevant today as "our" understanding of sexuality is broader-for example it doesn't take into account gender identity. But I took it and I think it describes me fairly well. There were one or two questions that gave me a pause-particularly the ones on socializing and emotional bonding. I'm kinda of a loner. So I just had to suppose on those questions.  Also I wonder if some of the questions are weighted more because on these two questions I answered it twice -once with the (pardon the expression) straight same sex answer-the next time one of the more middle answers. And I still achieved the same result. 
 

So here is my result.
 

You could have knocked me over with a feather!!😱😱😱

 

Who'll take it with me?

Yet again…I come out right in the middle.

It might taste great,

😱😱😱😱

As clarification-I don't even like giving blow jobs. And the thought of going down on a woman is even worse.  Luckily I have an excuse now not to as  I have jaw problems and it hurts to open that wide. 
 

Someone did question my gayness when I admitted I didn't like giving BJs. But it takes a village----er I mean "takes all kinds."

However, I can understand the appeal.

Appeal of what?

I also got a 6- no surprise at all!  What did surprise me was the social/emotional component since I thought my “gayness” was purely sexual.

I'm assuming you are talking about the socializing and emotional bonding questions since the test doesn't actually score subcategories -at least not on this website. But if your answers were for the highest same sex interactions -didn't you know this about yourself -or are you saying that you replied to  these two questions swinging more towards the middle or pro-opposite sex answers, and you still came up with a 6? 
 

I wonder if all the questions are weighted equally. I went through the test twice. The second time I used the more middle of the road answers for these two questions but kept my answers on the other questions totally male oriented, and I still received a Kinsey Score of 6.

Both- while my social/emotional answers were more middle of the road (and I still got a 6), I hadn’t actually processed the fact that most of the people I would consider close friends that I met “in the wild” (aka not family or family friends) happen to be other men (both gay and straight).

4. Thought I was a 3…

I fall right in the middle.  

Kinsey used the words rather than the numbers when he interviewed people.  He had a coded worksheet that he used to record answers that wouldn’t mean anything to someone else who read them as part of his way of keeping his volunteer subjects anonymous.  

The Liam Neeson film “Kinsey” is a pretty good film that I enjoyed.  Not great, but worth watching.

Dr. Fritz Klein followed up on Kinsey’s work and came up with a multi-dimensional grid that I think gives a better representation of a person’s real orientation.  It also doesn’t address gender identity along with orientation.

Take the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG) here.

The answers aren’t as concise, but they are more descriptive.  My Klein grid scores reflect that I behaved more as a heterosexual when I was a young adult although I was always attracted to the whole gender spectrum and my behavior has come more in line with my attractions as I’ve aged.

I’m a 3.  No surprise 

[SlimJim]

It said I'm a 4.  But I debated on some of the answers.  I thought maybe I would be a 5.  By taking it a 2nd time it still gave me a 4.

Im a 6

3.  Not surprising but the questions were to definitive.  I would rather have sex with a hot man than a hot woman but I would rather have sex with a hot woman than with a below averagely attractive man.  Given equal attractiveness, i would like pick the man but there are circumstances where I would select the woman.  So as a result the 3 is probably the right score but certainly not definitive.  Some of my fantasies for example involve a man and a woman and my being an observer.  I never have fantasies about being with two women, but I do have fantasies being with two men.  My fluidity in these situations, are the reason, I do not label myself. I consider myself a man who has sex with men and women.

The questions are so overly simplistic that I cant imagine anyone being surprised by the result. 

Do you have sex with men?

Do you prefer sex with men?

Do you think of men when you j.o. ?

Do you lose your hard-on when you think about a woman ?

IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO ALL OF THESE YOU'RE GAY. 

I mean....*duh*. 🙄

I say I've never been aroused by a woman. For the most part that's true. I have a vague memory of one or two dreams as a teenager where I might have gotten hard. But really -I can probably claim with around 99.8% accuracy that I've never been aroused by or at the thought of a woman. 
 

My mom had a difficult time during her pregnancy with me-placenta previa-and maybe other problems. I've often wondered if she was given any antenatal steroids -and whether this might have affected my sexuality.

I'm cool with the idea of a blowjob village.  If you happen to find one, please let us know!
