    Hey everyone! This is a question thats been on my mind recently and that is, does the Kinsey Scale only measure your sexual attraction to someone excluding romantic/asthetic/any other attraction? If anyone knows I'd love to be informed. Thanks!

    If I'm not mistaken, I think it only measures sexual attraction. You could probably take it and just replace the sexual terms/scenarios with romantic ones instead and get an idea about what your romantic attraction. I don't know how that'd work with aesthetic or any other type of attraction though

    I think in the past it has been used to determine sexual behaviour, rather than attraction- but I think these days it is self rating scale for attraction.
