Gay, Straight or In Between?

You secretly enjoy looking at men, or maybe not so secretly.  Certain men, that is.  Men you find attractive, who define your idea of  masculinity, sensuality and good company.  You like the way they’re formed, the way they think, the way they play and the way hair grows on their bodies.  You snatch glimpses in the gym shower, gaze at the countless photos on the Internet, or wish you could somehow get to know the guy three doors down the street.  You think about how they smell, what it’s like to touch them, or what’s it like to do more.  You may be married or have a girlfriend, or maybe you’re trying to decide which way to go–but you know you’re not entirely gay.

So where do you fit in?

Perhaps you’ve looked at the Kinsey Scale and have identified yourself with a number between 0 and 6.  Want a different perspective, one from a different approach?  You might be interested in the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid.

Here is what the site has to say:

Are you straight, gay, or bisexual? We tend to think of sexual orientation in rather black-and-white terms. In fact, though, few people are exclusively straight or exclusively gay, and there are a lot of shades in between.

The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid was introduced by a sex researcher and psychiatrist named Dr. Fritz Klein in 1978. Based on the Kinsey Scale, it measures a person’s sexual orientation on a continuum between “straight” and “gay”, giving a more nuanced assessment of sexual identity.

After you answer the questions, you’ll get a chart that looks like this:
