I'm just curious- I've seen some people on this site list their orientation as an 'E4' or 'E5' and I was wondering what it meant. I assumed it was something like the Kinsey scale (K4, K5...) but I couldn't find anything about it on google. Could someone tell me what it stands for?
Hello. There is an argument that sexual drive is as biological as sexuality, and therefore to be compatiable with someone you must not only have a sexuality that allows you to date, but also the same sex drive. Sexuality The Kinsey Institute - Kinsey Sexuality Rating Scale Sex drive A = none B = romantic C = purpose D = secondary E = primary F = hyper
All I have to say is... Wow. I've seen -zero- evidence to support a hardwired biological basis for sex drive, and voluminous evidence to support enormous variance in sex drive in a single individual based upon a wide variety of factors. In the same way that anyone can use any label they want, and describe themselves as unicornsexual moon gender... I guess we can add this to the list. But unless there's a whole body of research I've missed, this sounds about as credible as 'unicornsexual' or 'lithromantic' and equally as restrictive and unuseful as adopting the so-called asexual spectrum label when someone doesn't fit the widely accepted criteria. Where will it end?
The number and letter work separately. The number is your sexuality and the letter is your sex drive. So if you were heterosexual and hypersexual, your kinsey+ would be 0F or if you were bisexual and romantic, your kinsey+ would be 3B.
