kinsey 4 maybe?

also, you’re awesome, I’ve never met someone who identifies on the gayer side of the spectrum without declaring themself full-on gay (not that there’s anything wrong with where ANYONE falls, etc etc, but it’s cool to find people who occupy the less common parts of it)

  are mostly-homos rare? do you think most fencestraddlers are kinsey 3?
  - Courtney replied 11 years, 10 months ago
    
    most fencestraddlers I’ve met are between primarily hetero and perfectly in the middle, though that could be a result of how much easier it is to find hetero action (sheer numbers, etc)

      It’s a lot easier to find heterosexual action purely based on numbers, and also because a lot of lesbians don’t want to date bisexual women, whereas straight men are usually fine with it (although some are a little TOO fine with it and for annoying reasons). From what I’ve heard from bi men, it tends to be the reverse with them – gay men are…[Read more]

    Most I’ve met tend to be kinsey 1 or 2s…don’t run into many who were 3 and up.

      Most of the bis I meet IRL tend to be straight-leaning (1 or 2), most of the ones I see on this site tend to be gay-leaning (4 or 5). In both I feel weird for being pretty 50/50!

  I’m definitely on the “gayer side of the spectrum” but continue to identify as bi, not lesbian. Kinsey scale I’m probably a 5, but continue to recognize my attraction to men.
Rose replied 11 years, 10 months ago

To me, ”heteroflexible” and ”homoflexible” always implied kinsey 1 and 5 respectively – someone who is predominantly one way but will occasionally dip into the other end of the pool/is not closed to the possibility that they might be a little bi. I’d say 2s and 4s are bisexuals with a preference. That’s just me, though.

  now what, exactly, is the difference between 4 and 5?
  - Rose replied 11 years, 10 months ago
    
    Well, here’s the full Kinsey scale –
    0 = heterosexual
    1 = predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
    2 = predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
    3 = bisexual
    4 = predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
    5 = predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
    6 = homosexual

      yes — this i understand — but what about the difference between romantic vs. sexual attraction?
      and about actual behavior vs. desired behavior?
      past vs. present vs. future sexual encounters/relationships?
      
      to me it seems so complicated
      where am i

        um i realize you posted this ages ago, but i just joined the group and saw it. i’ve always wondered this too — i’ve had more actual hetero encounters/experience, but tend to want/desire relationships with women more, and feel more strongly about those relationships, i think? i think in some ways the kinsey scale is a bit limiting, and what you…[Read more]
