The question may be another way of beating the ‘who are you attracted to’ horse, but it also makes sense because while we’re socialized to believe we fit in a binary of homosexual or heterosexual, our subconscious mind in dreams and in spontaneous fantasies could tease out more of the in-between truth.Ĥ. I somewhat feel that this is one of those things Buzzfeed does to seem more racy–talking about sexual fantasies in the media. But it is in the original Kinsey Scale’s rating, so okay.ģ. Personally, I find the former two much more compelling when it comes to one’s sexuality because some people stay in the closet for a while, some have only had sexual experience with one sex/gender because that’s how life works out, etc., and I wouldn’t say those change one’s inherent sexuality. Technically the Kinsey Scale is supposed to measure thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Again, the possible answers you can choose from only reference the other person’s sex, not their gender identity.
Makes sense, considering that’s what the scale is about. All the questions in this quiz specifically reference a person’s sex, not their gender.

The Kinsey Scale is on Buzzfeed as a quiz and thus means that more people are going to hear about it and start viewing sexuality as more of a continuum than a binary.” The second thought that fell close after was “gosh darn it, it’s on Buzzfeed. OCD sufferers may benefit from available behavioral therapy and medication, and new official studies and research are being done all the time. Embarrassment and stigma are two possible reasons why a person may hide their symptoms and not seek help for the disorder. Obsessive compulsive disorder affects millions of people around the globe. People who develop an OCD disorder may have suffered some sort of triggering event or complex trauma that led to differences in their brain development. Sometimes, these mild compulsions may develop into very real, difficult issues that may begin to interfere with a person's quality of life. For most people, a little bit of healthy OCD helps keep life on track, such as keeping our homes tidy, meeting deadlines at work or sticking to a set schedule. Obsessive compulsive disorder may take many forms. Try our Do I Have OCD Test and determine how much OCD you have with this quiz! Compare with friends and see who is more obsessive compulsive!
