Anyone taken the Kinsey scale test and not scored as ‘straight’ as they thought?

[Tinkywee]

I’m gay and I came out a 5 on the scale, not sure why it wasn’t a 6 seeing as I answered honestly and consider myself exclusively attracted to women. Would love to know how others tested just out of sheer curiosity.

I actually have often wished I could be sexually attracted to women because I really like women much more than I like men. I feel safer with women, I enjoy female company but I have never fantasised in a sexual way about a woman or felt anything at all sexual for a woman and the one time I had a try at kissing a woman it did nothing at all for me, felt all wrong and I didn't want to take it any further. I can intellectually say what I think looks attractive in a woman but it's more what I would like to look like myself.

3, which I know already and is no surprise to me 😂 I’ve had sex with both men and women and fantasise about both.

2, which feels accurate

I got a 0.

1. I woukd have guessed 2 or 3

I’d think many people are second from either end of the scale if they aren’t homosexual but don’t find the idea of homosexual sex disgusting.

1. Sounds about right

0, which is pretty accurate I’d say.

I'm 3 which is what I would have guessed beforehand.

I got a zero - exclusively heterosexual sexual. I am heterosexual so not shocked by this.

1. I thought I was straight, but I really thought about it and answered truthfully. The women I find attractive are those who dress more masculine... im not sure what that means. The idea of sex with a woman is interesting, not repulsive, but I wouldn't actually want to act on it. I'm married anyway so it's a moot point, but im a bit shocked.

1

I got a 2 which is what I expected. I’ve never had a relationship with another woman but I’ve met women I’ve been attracted to and wouldn’t rule it out.

I scored 2 "This makes you heterosexual with more than incidental homosexual tendencies".

I got 2, I have wondered if I’m bi. I’ve had sex with 1 woman in my late teens/early 20s and I’m definitely a tit woman but I’m not sure how I feel about other peoples fanjos 🤔

"This makes you heterosexual with more than incidental homosexual tendencies."

Sounds about right

1. Fairly accurate especially when I was younger.

I got 2 but I would have thought it would be 3. I think it’s more down to the fact I’ve never had the opportunity to engage in sex or a romantic relationship with a woman, and I’m married to a man now so couldn’t anyway. I have no idea how emotionally close I could bond with a female partner, as I’m generally not very good at forming attachments anyway! So it’s a bit of a biased question list IMO.

I get a 2 but I think this is slightly skewed by the fact I’ve only had sex with one person - my DP who is male - so Ive not had any chance to score a point with a female. I think realistically I’d be more of a 3 if it was more in depth.

I think the questions are too limiting (was Kinsey a man?!).

I have definitely felt myself drawn to charismatic women - I suppose you could say that I am attracted to them, in the literal sense of the word. But it is absolutely not a sexual attraction - I have never had any sexual feelings about a woman and consider myself heterosexual.

So yup, he's an Alfred

I think this is such a ridiculously male take on sexuality and attraction. Attraction = wanting to have sex with someone.

I think a survey designed by a woman would be much more nuanced.

3, about right.

1 but I think it wasn’t 0 because I only put sex with a man was tolerable 😂🤷‍♀️.

I'm a woman and I got a 3. I'd have thought I'd be a 2 as although I've had sex with women and find them attractive, I only desire men in terms of romantic relationships

I read once that true attraction is 3 fold- sexual, emotional/romantic and physical attraction. I’m gay and I can say for sure I have never had emotional/ romantic feelings for a man and that’s what made me realise I was interested in women, that ‘spark’ has only ever been there for women despite finding some men physically attractive. I have all 3 of the above for women throughout my life.
