The Kinsey Scale is a tool developed by researcher Alfred Kinsey in the 1940s to measure human sexual orientation. It ranges from 0 to 6, where 0 represents exclusive heterosexuality and 6 represents exclusive homosexuality. The scale allows for a more nuanced understanding of sexual orientation, acknowledging that many people may identify as somewhere in between. The Kinsey Scale also emphasizes that sexual orientation is not strictly binary. It recognizes that individuals may experience varying degrees of attraction to different genders throughout their lives, reflecting the complexity of human sexuality beyond simple labels.
