Kinsey Scale

The Kinsey Scale is a tool developed by Alfred Kinsey to describe human sexual orientation on a continuum rather than in fixed categories. It ranges from 0 to 6, where 0 indicates exclusive heterosexuality and 6 indicates exclusive homosexuality. Scores in between reflect varying degrees of bisexuality or attraction to both sexes. The scale highlights that sexual orientation is fluid and can vary over time or be complex, rather than strictly binary. It helps to understand that many people may not fit neatly into "straight" or "gay" labels, emphasizing the spectrum of human sexuality.
