Kinsey scale

Gillian Anderson.

And considering that, again, I always describe myself as aggressively heterosexual and like on negative numbers on the Kinsey scale.

Maybe you need that number of bi women just to balance me out.

I don't know what it is.

Yeah.

But I'm a zero on the Kinsey scale.

No, you're not.

I took the test.

Just pick one.

Hugh Jackman is up there for me.

Okay, that is a very not zero on the Kinsey scale answer.

Yeah, you're right.

Masturbation, premarital sex, and same-sex experiences were far more common than assumed, considering how widely these behaviors were shamed and even punished at the time.

And one of the most influential concepts to come out of that research was the Kinsey scale, the idea that sexual attraction falls on a continuum, not in two opposite categories.

On a scale, many people fall somewhere in the middle.

Sexual attraction isn't just black and white, it's all the shades in between.

Today, sexologists continue to research what people do, think, and feel about sex.

Which is why we know more than, like, rumors from your best friend's cousin's neighbor.

And a juicy truth we can pull from the Kinsey scale? Sexuality, who you are as a sexual being, is about more than just what you're doing in the bedroom.

Or on the couch.

They see it.

You know, the scale, like the one to seven, the Kinsey scale.

They see bisexual period.

Like if you're bisexual at all, they see you as closest to straight people.

I think that's like the beginning phase.

That's like 17% on the Kinsey scale or something.

I got to work my way into this.

Just give

I'm sure you didn't fully love this movie.

Maybe like a four on the Kinsey scale.

[laughs] Um, so yeah, for me, like I said, I, I, I'm just, like, not enjoying these movies, and I'm really not enjoying how- Just, uh, hard to watch, they can be-

Sure

Have

you made him take the Kinsey scale test? Have you guys ever done that? I haven't done that because everyone comes out on their own

time.

No, totally.

You know, like even if you're here, you're a little gayer.

So the Kinsey scale, let's just use it.

Controversial figure, whatever.

Let's just use it.

Queer cave reinforced.

They have got big detectors set up so you can only get in, you know, if you pass the Kinsey scale.

Yeah, someone standing out the

front with a gaydar.

That's right.

The Kinsey scale.

Oh, quickly, let's talk about the music.

Okay.
