Ok so this illness is making sleep impossible, so it's time for more rambling with Xyn. I have a great respect (almost zealoutly respect) for the late Alfred Kinsey. One of my most prized possessions is a first edition Sexual Behavior in the Human Female my husband bought me.

I think his research was not only groundbreaking and unprecedented, but necessary. His downfall was something that still hurts us to this day. He fell out of favor because he was questioning and interviewing the ftinge people. The freaks, the fetishists, worse the pedophiles and rapists. All trying to understand the whys that we still only guess at.

That isn't what this particulat ramble is about though. This is about his homosexuality scale and his flaw. If he had had time to evolve it with the information more readily available these days, i think he'd agree with my updated "scale". I think there are actually two sliding scales. One for your attractedness to each sex. This concept would better include the asexuals and the bi-curious but not really bi or gay set.

Of course even my scales don't account for gender identity issues, etc. I was staring at my bookshelf unable to sleep and this was what ran through my head. Even with all our Post-Sexual-Revolution freedoms we still understand so little about human sexuality. We need another like Kinsey to look for the questions and be willing to talk to people to get answers. And soon. I think the conservatives are trying to take us back before Kinsey ever existed.
