Citations:Kinsey scale


 * The original Kinsey scale was established using sexual behavior as the sole criterion. Complicating factors (e.g., love, sexual attraction, fantasy, and self-identification) have only recently been used to enhance it. It does seem, however, that when all of the factors are considered, an individual's rating may change over time. That is, the individual may be a Kinsey 2 at one time and a Kinsey 5 at another; the rating should not be viewed as being fixed, describing all behaviors, or predicting future behavior.
