Posted By: colecionistadecanciones on 8/10/2008 6  40 PM Message: Anyone ever heard of alfred kinsey's spectrum theory? It makes the most sense out of every sexuality theory I've ever read about or heard about. Basically it argues that everyone falls somewhere in between homosexuality and heterosexuality - not very many people are 100% heterosexual and not very many people are 100% homosexual - the majority of people fall somewhere in between and thats probably why people have a hard time reconciling bisexuality. I think MOST people have a preference, but there are alot of people who are capable of being with both genders. I'm a lesbian but I still recognize a good looking guy, might even find myself somewhat attracted - but I know if it came down to it, I wouldn't want to touch him or kiss him, etc.
While I agree with Kinsey to a point, you have to keep in mind that his studies were based on mostly voluntary participation, and not a random sampling. He was also a bisexual, and has been accused of having somewhat of a bias as such. I'm not saying his work is without merit; but, it's hardly definitive. There's still much more about human sexuality we don't understand, than we do. His studies helped a lot of people come to terms with what they were led to believe were abhorant and uncommon sexual practices and desires. This alone vindicates much of his work. | |

Posted: 8/10/2008 4:53:57 PM | | Well, when you think about it.....his spectrum theory is pretty general - it just posits that most people fall somewhere in between the two specific sexual orientations and I don't think there are many people who would argue with that. The problem with conducting a random sample of a population is that alot of people wouldn't be honest, even if the study were anonymous. That goes especially for males, who are more likely than women to engage in homosexual conduct even though they would swear up and down that they are heterosexual. | |

Posted: 8/10/2008 7:44:09 PM | Your last posts colecionistadecanciones ring the truth... I sense males are more paranoid about sexual orientation. I say that because lots of my males friends have hard time accepting gay men, and on the other hand I find it is easier for women to come to terms with their own sexuality and sexual orientation of others.
Also, I start to understand more about my own attraction towards female form and also start to understand my own barrier of exploring those relationships, too. There must be some good literature out there, I find forums are just eyes opening, but there is much more to explore. Thank you for being here. La Jaconde | |

Posted: 8/10/2008 8:06:05 PM | | I think women in general are more open about their sexuality; and, also a lot of women go through a "bi-curious" stage. I know I did. I still think women are beautiful, but I am not sexually attracted to them; but, I still flirt with the same sex, though..LOL | |

I also like the Klein Scale. Dr. Fritz Klein used several scales and measured Sexual Attraction, Sexual Behaviour, Sexual Fantasies and Lifestyle Preference individually, and a couple of other factors as well. | |
