The Male Secret
The Kinsey scale is used to measure a person’s overall balance of heterosexuality and homosexuality, and takes into account both sexual experience and psychosexual reactions.
The scale ranges from 0 to 6, with 0 being completely heterosexual and 6 completely homosexual.
An additional category, X, was mentioned to describe those who had no sociology-sexual contacts or reactions, which has been cited by scholars to mean asexuality.
The scale was first published in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) by Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy and others.
Kinsey wrote:
Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual.
The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats.It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories
The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects.
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.
A seven-point scale comes nearer to showing the many gradations that actually exist.
The scale is as follows:
| Rating | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Exclusively heterosexual |
| 1 | Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual |
| 2 | Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual |
| 3 | Equally heterosexual and homosexual |
| 4 | Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual |
| 5 | Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual |
| 6 | Exclusively homosexual |
| X | No socio-sexual contacts or reactions |

Pan-sexuality
To cover the load
Pan-sexuality is sexual, romantic, or emotional attraction towards people of all genders, or regardless of their sex or gender identity Pan-sexual people might refer to themselves as gender-blind, asserting that gender and sex are not determining factors in their romantic or sexual attraction to others.
Pan-sexuality is sometimes considered a sexual orientation in its own right or, at other times, as a branch of bisexuality (since attraction to all genders falls under the category of attraction to more than one gender) to indicate an alternative sexual identity.
While pan-sexual people are open to relationships with people who do not identify as strictly men or women, and pan-sexuality therefore explicitly rejects the gender binary in terms of the chosen etymology, this is by no means a feature which is exclusive to pan-sexuality and can also be found in broad definitions of homosexuality, bisexuality and the asexual spectrum.
