There is lots of information about what straight couples do in the bedroom in magazines, papers and the movies, but not much about girl-on-girl sex.
It's quite common to be unsure, especially for some women who believe they are straight but sometimes, later in life, fall in love with a woman.
The scale is a method of self-evaluation based on one's individual experience, and the number on the scale can shift as one's sexuality develops. It allows for change and fluidity in individuals' sexuality, and the researchers were aware that sexuality is not fixed or static from birth to death. The scale was not intended to account for individuals' sexual identity (heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual) or designed to be a test or a quiz to determine one's "true" sexual orientation. The scale runs from exclusively heterosexual (0) to equally heterosexual and homosexual (3) to exclusively homosexual (6), with the X grade often described as asexuality. In 1948, US sex researcher Alfred Kinsey and some colleagues developed the Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale – known as The Kinsey Scale – a seven-point scale, ranging from 0 to 6, with an additional category of "X".
