    Cool thing! I think I'd be an E2 or E1. ^.^ Or well... it says opposite sex, but... I take it as opposite gender, of course.

    Not much of an alternative, all it did was give it a "y" value, it's still basically the same scale with a minor tweak

    I think this is just confusing. why would anyone care about pinpointing their sexuality anyway? you know what you like, or don't like, and that's all that matters.

    I'm definitely a D5 or D6 on this scale. The Kinsey scale may have just gotten its long needed retirement.

    I'm gonna say E5 but it could be D5. I dunno. I know I want a boyfriend and I think the main reason I'm always thinking about sex is because I haven't had it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I'm certainly not an F but lately sometimes I feel like one. I'm going with E5 for now :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Quite interesting, though I don't have enough certainty in my gender to have a solid line to springboard from sexuality-wise. I guess if we're talking from my assigned sex I'd be D4-ish. Some days D5.

    And if we're not talking from the perspective of my assigned sex? I really don't know. But this is an interesting scale. I prefer it over the Kinsey Scale, but these scales are never perfect of course. Your label is more than it at the end of the day.
