Most sexologists will explain that Kinsey Scale only covers sexual orientations but not biological sex and gender identities which are two other important aspects in human sexuality.
The Kinsey Scale is to be used with discretion. It uses “0” as exclusively heterosexual to “6” as exclusively homosexual and “1” to “5” as varying response of bisexual. The Kinsey Scale was first published in 1948 in Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male by Alfred Kinsey to define human sexuality. For more information, check out the Kinsey Scale1. And bisexuals might find themselves attracted to guys and girls at different times. For example, some guys might consider themselves as heterosexual but have homosexual attraction towards men. In reality, human sexuality is much more complex. Many people think that homosexuality and heterosexuality are on opposite ends of the sexuality spectrum, with bisexuality in the middle. Bisexuality is the attraction to both sexes. ‘Gay’ is commonly used to describe men who are attracted to men, and ‘lesbian’ for women who are attracted to women. Homosexuality is the emotional, romantic and sexual attraction to someone of the same sex.
