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.

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*. 🙄

 

 

 

Ok I just took the Klein test. I actually prefer Kinsey. Klein gave me a 6.8 --gay but incidentally straight because I answered a few questions about in the past wanting a relationship not exclusively same sex. I think maybe the question should be reworded. I was  only talking  about a friendship relationship not a 'relationship' relationship.
 

INCIDENTALLY STRAIGHT!!!!

 

I'LL GIVE YOU INCIDENTALLY STRAIGHT.

 

HERE's YOUR INCIDENTALLY STRAIGHT
 

As Mrs. Strakosh sings in Funny Girl, "When a girl's incidentals are no bigger than two lentils, then to me it doesn't spell success."

 

That lyric has stayed with me for years since I first saw the movie around age 11. If that doesn't prove I'm a total Kinsey 6, I don't know what does.

This makes you homosexual with more than incidental heterosexual tendencies.

Exclusively gay, as expected. Glad to be a pure blood.

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?

Paradise by the dashboard light had the Phil Rizzuto section about rounding the bases.

I was just listening to Dr Justin LehMiller describe sexuality as two dial settings. One dial has a person’s orientation across the gender spectrum. The other dial has a wide-narrow comfort range  for how comfortable the person is with experience outside of their setting on the first dial.

This can explain the straight guy who will opportunistically accept a blowjob from their gay friend or good looking gay men who will accept one night stand offers from straight women.  Maybe gay-for-pay guys have really wide dial 2 settings.

I came out as a 4. And I think it's because I would totally have sex with a transman.

6 thank goodness. I was worried those youthful indiscretions would come back to haunt me.

My number is not a surprise. 

I still don't get it, though, why those Catholic boys back in my house in college pined for me.  I wonder about their K. numbers, why they peeked into my shower stall, why one boy chased me into the utility closet, others complemented my body, touched my butt and so on. 

One friend would tell me how horny he was.  I wish I would have asked him why he was telling me this.  Ultimately he asked me to fuck him, in our hotel room during an away football trip. I was so naive then.

We were in love, sort of, I think.  I stopped hanging around with him. He had a difficult time with it.  I was a prick about it, yeah, but I had no time for homophobic confusion, his and mine.

I wonder about him, and the rest.  By now they're all married. 

In my head, they were a bunch of loud, scary homophobes.  I was a closeted virgin.  So I avoided most of their overtures. 

My theory is there is some sort of inner dial in all guys that determines a level of same sex attraction.  In that house I lived in, most of the time that attraction was covered up by laughs, by denial and f@g jokes.  

Like Mr. Perlman explained in Call Me By Your Name "We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty....". 

I could only take two years of it before moving off campus, away from the BS of my house brothers.  Some have been in touch for reunions, but flying half way across the country to spend 3 days with those same guys is easily avoided.

Weird, I didn’t get a number. Mine just said ✨fabulous✨ and fired confetti at me.
