Kinsey and Bisexuality

[€uroMeinke]

But Kinsey 3s are still attracted to women

I would think Kinsey 3's would be as rare, being right smack dab in the middle, as being a 6 or a 0.


Anyway, if a dabble of youthful experimentation puts a current 6 as a permanent 3 in Kinsey's book, I think Kinsey's methodology is a little too skewed.

Skewed indeed. And that also kind of illustrates the flaw of Kinsey's "reported behavior" criteria. Sure, based on behavior on a recent time scale, you're a 6, but that shift in behavior comes more from your relationship status than an actual shift in preference.
