    I'm in no doubt about the direction of my desires now... men. But this is after many years of hetero relationships, some of them quite passionate, at least in the beginning. I took the Kinsey scale, and one other 'test,' but they seem to assume that the answers to the question would always have been the same. Are there similar scales that factor in changing patterns of sexual behavior over time?
    The strength of Kinsey is that it alows for gradations, though not over time. I see that so many on EC have been married or lived a significant part of their lives in hetero relationships--this would seem to be pretty important, in factoring how and when different individuals become aware of their dominant orientation.
