For example there are scales that rate homosexual behaviors from 1 to 14, and measures for gender, masculinity, femininity, transsexualism and attitudes towards contraceptives. Kinsey, Storm, and Klein are only three of more than 200 scales to measure and describe sexual orientation. Fritz Klein, in his Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, included factors such as how orientation can change throughout a person's lifetime, as well as emotional and social orientation. This scale took into account the case of asexuality and the simultaneous expression of hetero-eroticism and homo-eroticism. In 1980, Michael Storms proposed a two dimensional chart with an X and Y axis. Others have stepped forward to define it further. The Kinsey Scale does not address all possible sexual expressions. Īlternate measures of sexual orientation 2% to 6% of females, aged 20–35, were given a rating of 5 and 1% to 3% of unmarried females aged 20–35 were rated as 6.
Women: 7% of single females aged 20–35 and 4% of previously married females aged 20–35 were given a rating of 3 for this period of their lives.
The study also reported that 10% of American males surveyed were "more or less exclusively homosexual for at least three years between the ages of 16 and 55" (in the 5 to 6 range).
Men: 11.6% of white males aged 20–35 were given a rating of 3 for this period of their lives.
Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual The Kinsey scale ranges from 0, for those who would identify themselves as exclusively heterosexual with no experience with or desire for sexual activity with their same sex, to 6, for those who would identify themselves as exclusively homosexual with no experience with or desire for sexual activity with those of the opposite sex, and 1-5 for those who would identify themselves with varying levels of desire for sexual activity with either sex, including "incidental" or "occasional" desire for sexual activity with the same sex. In such studies, the person would be asked a question such as "If 0 is completely gay and 10 is completely hetero, what is your orientation number?". There have been similar studies where the scale is from 0 to 10. They suggest that sexual identity involves at least three different spectra, sexual orientation being only one of them (two others being biological sex and gender identity). Today, many sexologists see the Kinsey scale as relevant to sexual orientation but not comprehensive enough to cover all sexual identity issues. A seven-point scale comes nearer to showing the many gradations that actually exist. While emphasizing the continuity of the gradations between exclusively heterosexual and exclusively homosexual histories, it has seemed desirable to develop some sort of classification which could be based on the relative amounts of heterosexual and homosexual experience or response in each history An individual may be assigned a position on this scale, for each period in his life. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual.
