Male Sexuality and Alfred Kinsey’s 0–6 Scale: Toward "A Sound Understanding of the Realities of Sex".
In: Journal of Homosexuality, 57 (9)
Artikel, Bibliographie
Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
Using a 0–6 scale, Alfred Kinsey demonstrated that the complexity of human sexuality could best be represented on a continuum rather than as a binary. Kinsey developed the scale from models created by his predecessors in human sex research. A primary intention of the scale was to eradicate sexual identity categories altogether in order to eliminate sexual identity-based persecutions and to promote equal rights. As proponents and opponents of homosexual rights both depended on constructions of sexual identity to advance their agendas, Kinsey's ideal was never realized. The scale nonetheless continues to challenge postmodern associations of identity and sexuality.
