Of course not but it does mean that he prefers men over women, meaning his primary orientation is gay and his secondary is straight to put it in simple terms.

Bisexual people are not necessarily attracted equally to both genders.
:
bisexuals may feel pressured to label themselves as either gays or lesbians instead of occupying a difficult middle ground in a culture that has it that if bisexuals are attracted to people of both sexes, they must have more than one partner, thus defying society's value on monogamy.
:
In the mid-1950s, Alfred Kinsey devised the Kinsey scale in an attempt to measure sexual orientation. The 7 point scale has a rating of 0 ("exclusively heterosexual") to 6 ("exclusively homosexual"). Bisexuals cover most of the scales' values (1-5) which ranges between "predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual" (1) to "predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual" (5). In the middle of the scale (3) is "equally heterosexual and homosexual".

I wouldn't consider Kinsey a reliable source. He used prison inmates and prostitutes as his test samples.

I shouldn't consider Kinsey a reliable source for the sexuality scale that he himself came up with?

Kinsey's research was quite flawed and his theories are questionable at best.

The only quote that came from his research is the one in which he is mentioned.

Stattik HDM; For the record, I support gay/lesbian/bisexual rights. I simply object to the use of flawed and unethical research for any cause.
Bullet Magnet; Kinsey is certainly a reliable source on his own scale, but not on human sexuality. He is no more reliable on that topic than that right wing whacko Paul "Exterminate gays in next 5 years" Cameron.

I don't care about gender. it just tells you how many holes you have to work with.

It's almost as though a person may have... two sexualities!


I vote we call this strange new form of physical attraction bisexuality!

I... disagree with this notion.

Lets call it ByseXuality and get all the kids hooked on it.

But not in a creepy way.

Kids don't have sexualities. Unless you count that disturbing as hell 11 year old sex thread.

Those kids weren't even 11, they were older kids in a class of 11 year olds because they had been held back.
