I considered myself bi for a long time, but evolved over a few years to identify as gay (the first time I slept with a woman really solidified it for me). I still find myself attracted to men, but I don't want a sexual relationship with them. I therefore would classify myself as a 5, possibly a little lower (4.5?)

I have been attracted to women. But the times I've been "turned on" by one are so minuscule that it is nothing compared to smokin' hot men. It rarely happens. I'd say I'm about a 5.5 on the scale. Maybe a 5. Maybe a full 6. Honestly I don't care much. All I know is that realistically things will only work out well with a man.

Default Re: So where are you on Kinsey Scale?

I'm pretty sure I'm a solid five on the scale because while I find some rare men attractive, I honestly wouldn't have sex with them. Still, I have that sliver of sexual attraction that I won't deny. I have kissed and made out with men and enjoyed it. It's just a part of me, but doesn't make me any less gay.

I put 5 but to be perfectly honest i'm probably a 4.5. Guys can be really, really attractive to me but I don't want to be sexual or romantic with them. So maybe 5? Eh, who knows.

I voted for 4. I definitely lean on the gay side of things. My range is sort of like 3-5.

I would say that I'm a five. I definitely find the female form beautiful, but not something that I'm attracted to. So yeah, a solid five.

Default Re: So where are you on Kinsey Scale?

I voted 6 and X because I keep floating back and forth between the two. As I was typing this, I decided X probably is closer to what I actually am. The idea of sex can turn me on, but people don't. I am attracted to women in every way but sexually. As for men, whatever attraction I feel is purely aesthetic. So when it comes to who I want to be in a relationship with, I am most likely 100% lesbian.

Well, I think. All of this is subject to change without notice.

Default Re: So where are you on Kinsey Scale?

I can't really apply it to myself. I'd need a gender to have an orientation. I tend to be more interested in men, but I think that's largely because I've met more men who are the "top" that I'm looking for.
