Geez!
that's perfectly fine, Hypatia. You can go Virgo on me anytime! But for the record "I" didn't ask anything based on experiences. That is how the Kinsey scale was outlined
here. There is also a "points to ponder" part on that link which you may find helpful. And incidentally kitty cats, I'm also aware that not everyone would fall into 0 or 6, but there are some of us that do!
In regard to your question, the link I initially provided reads:
QuoteThere is no 'test.' The scale is purely a method of self-evaluation based on your individual experience. The scale ranges from 0-, as one would rate themselves if they identify as exclusively heterosexual with no experience with or desire for sexual activity with their same sex, to 6-, as one would rate themselves if they identify as exclusively homosexual with no experience with or desire for sexual activity with those of the opposite sex.
Hence, I imagine that everything is taken into account (i.e, kissing on the lips, feelings, desires, and the other stuff
)
Now, concerning the "trans" question, well, Harry Bejamin created a similar scale ages ago. Needless to say the information is ancient and contains archaic terms such as primary transsexual, true transsexual, real transsexual, and to be quite frank, I didn't want to get into all that since those definitions often cause chaos and drama here at Susan's. Nonetheless, if anyone is interested, you can google it out "Sex and Gender Role Disorientation and Indecision"
I should reiterate though that the Harry Benjamin scale (above) is flawed, but at least it can shed some light on the questions that have been asked.
iFindMeHere: You are more than welcome to create a new poll for the Klein Grid if you wish since I also think that it would give us all a more thorough account of sexual orientation
