Key Concepts

Kinsey Scale

This is a tool used to measure an individual's sexual orientation along a continuum ranging from exclusively heterosexual (rated 0) to exclusively homosexual (rated 6). It reflects the fluid nature of human sexuality, allowing for variations in sexual behavior, attraction, and fantasies rather than strictly categorizing individuals into binaries.

Sexual Orientation Continuum

This concept refers to the idea that sexual orientation is not a fixed or binary trait, but rather exists along a spectrum. Individuals can experience varying degrees of attraction to both sexes, and the continuum helps in understanding cases where someone may predominantly engage in one type of relationship while occasionally being attracted to or engaging with another.
