Walton, Michael; Lykins, Amy; Bhullar, Navjot; Walton, Michael T; Lykins, Amy D
- Abstract
The article focuses on research into diversity in sexual identity expression beyond the Likert-type scale biologist Alfred Kinsey created in the Kinsey 6-point rating scale. It comments on the failure of Kinsey to account for asexuality and used two-dimensional axes in modeling sexual orientation along Hetero-Eroticism and Homo-Eroticism fields. It considers biological aspects to explain low sexual arousal/behavior in asexuals. It mentions social media and sex education concerning orientation.
