Their sexual orientation was obviously somewhat mixed. Almost 46% of men interviewed reported some type of sexual reaction to both genders, whether they followed up on those reactions or not.An average of 37% of males had had a gay experience between their adolescence and old age years.Instead, they fell within a range of combinations.Īfter conducting thousands of interviews, Kinsey and his colleagues published their research findings, including the following results: Kinsey’s premise in conducting his research was this: the human male and human female, and their sexual orientation, attractions, thoughts, and feelings, were not exclusive to straight or gay preferences. Two, it was a big step toward the truth that being homosexual or bi is not a mental illness but a form of non-traditional sexual activity. Instead, it used a heterosexual homosexual rating scale to measure sexual orientation. It was a ground-breaker for two big reasons: One, it took the notion that a person was either straight or gay and threw it out the window. That same year, an Indiana University researcher, Alfred Kinsey, along with two colleagues presented the Kinsey Scale in a book titled, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. What’s more, the American Psychiatric Association listed the “condition” as a mental health disorder.
