Kinsey and Bisexuality

Not Afraid · 01-18-2005, 11:12 AM

I am fascinated with Kinsey, his life, his studies and how his finding effected our society. From a sociological point of view, it is fascinating!

Personally, I am not quite sure where I would stand on the scale. I am much pickier about who I am attracted to now that I am older. My "A List" for men I actually know has even gotten shorter. I look for the elusive "chemestry" as well as physical attraction. It's the same with women, and much harder to find the chemestry I require.

Basing on actual experience, I'm probably a 2 or, unlikely, a 3. But, most of that experience is long ago when I was a lot more "free" about my sex life. Today, if I were to add people into my "sexual pantheon" they'd all be men. I do love men.

I think there are gray areas for sexuality. There are grey areas for just about everything. I rarely find anything that is either black or white. The Kinsey scale is a good theory, but, based on practice only, I think it leaves out a lot.

I do remember thinking, the first time I was attracted sexually to a woman, OH NO I'M GAY! I didn't think you could be somewhere in the gray area. Ahhhhh, thank God for knowledge.
