Our goal here is to provide a welcoming home for any and all asexuals to come to, as well as provide a warm atmosphere for anyone to ask questions over asexuality. Asexuality is an orientation defined by little to no sexual attraction to anyone. once again, it ignores the existence of non-binary genders and still codifies bisexuals into being either more hetero or more homosexual. Kinsey Scale Test - posted in The Caf: Description from the test: The Kinsey Scale is an idea developed by Alfred Kinsey in 1948 that instead of describing people as either homosexual. r/Asexual is dedicated to bringing asexual awareness to any and all who come here.
on a related note, it tends to pigeonhole “actual bisexuality” into an even 50/50 attraction towards men and womenĮven if you look at the kinsey scale in the context which it was created, as a descriptor of sexual activity rather than identity, it still has problems. There’s a considerable wider diversity when it. There are (only) just 7 points on the scale. Many are painfully identifying with (or being identified as) a numeral on a scale. Welcome to the Klein Sexual Orientation Test This test is based on the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG), which is a system for describing a person's sexual orientation in a way that is more detailed than earlier methods (such as the Kinsey Scale). monosexuals use it to codify bisexuals in terms of being “more heterosexual” or “more homosexual” Span there’s an X on the Kinsey scale to report no sociosexual touch sexual connections however, it is asexual. First published in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948), the scale accounted for research findings that showed people did not fit into exclusive heterosexual or homosexual categories. The phenomenon has recently grown in size, as researchers now estimate that around 70 million people worldwide identify themselves by this sexual orientation. Alfred Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy, and Clyde Martin developed the Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scalemore commonly known as The Kinsey Scale. it sort of has a space for asexuality ? (people coded as 0 are asexual) but there’s nothing there for gray-a, lithosexual, or demisexual people Asexuality is defined as the tendency to not experience sexual attraction and not be interested in having sex. it oversimplifies sexuality and doesn’t look at differences between sexual and romantic attraction. it relies on the gender binary, and doesn’t take non-binary genders into account. On the other hand, male aces can legitimately call themselves X-Men, which is pretty cool. Edit: asexual is X on the Kinsey Scale, not 0. the kinsey scale is a lot of bullshit, for a number of reasons. It should not be worded to assume the test taker has had sex before and no one should be an answer :/. I'll read postings where people describe themselves as a 'Kinsey 2' or a 'Kinsey 6'. Even if it doesn't account for every permutation. Alfred Kinsey developed a scale for measuring human sexuality which determined whether a person was gay, straight, or something in between. Anonymous asked: You don't believe in the Kinsey Scale? Just as Kinsey's scale provides a simplified continuum (0.6), I was wondering if a similar continuum can't also be used to describe asexuality.
