 Kinsey Reports - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kinsey reported that most American males fell in the 1 to 2 range of the scale and that a large majority appeared to be at least somewhat bisexual (in the 1 to 5 range).
The Kinsey reports are associated with a change in public perception of sexuality.
Some was from parents who had observed their children, some from teachers who had observed children interacting or behaving sexually, and Kinsey stated that there were nine men who he had interviewed who had sexual experiences with children who had told him about how the children had responded and reacted.

 'Kinsey' critics ready - The Washington Times: Culture, etc. - September 08, 2004
Kinsey said that there was a seven-point scale of normal human sexuality, with bisexuality the most "balanced" state and heterosexuality and homosexuality occupying equal positions on the opposite ends.
Kinsey was also shown to be an atheist who loathed religion and its constraints on sex.
Kinsey's initial report, released in the 1948 "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male," stunned the nation by saying that American men were so sexually wild that 95 percent of them could be accused of some kind of sexual offense under 1940s laws.

 "The Joy of Sexology: What to think now about Alfred Kinsey" by Christina Larson
Kinsey quit teaching two years later to conduct the first large-scale survey of Americans' sexual experiences.
While conservative pitchforks have been raised at each of these harbingers of the sexual revolution, the anger directed at Kinsey even today, a half century after his death, is unique.

 Introduction
Kinsey's estimate for the prevalence of predominant homosexuality (Kinsey scale 4-6) in white males at age 25 was 7.6%.
Kinsey was the first researcher in this field to distinguish between exclusive homosexuality and bisexuality, and proposed a scale to classify a person's sexuality covering the whole spectrum from exclusive heterosexuality (Kinsey Scale 0) to exclusive homosexuality (Kinsey Scale 6).
An individual's rating is not constant, but may change throughout his or her lifetime, although Kinsey (1948, 1953) showed that by the age of 25 in men and 40 in women, a person's Kinsey rating had usually stabilised.

However, the Kinsey Scale is important because it illustrates the fact that there is some sort of variable sexuality range -- possibly even a continuum.

The attributes we believed would be particularly informative were the Kinsey scale, a gender expression scale, the age at which they were aware they were queer, the ages at which they first had sex and first had sex with someone of the same gender, and the gender of the people in their sexual fantasies.
Gender expression: We developed a scale for gender (Kryzan Scale of Gender Expression) which is a bidirectional, seven-point continuum from -6 (called F6), to +6 (called M6), much in the same manner of the Kinsey scale, but doubled.
Lesbians (Fl) and gay males (Mg) fell closest towards the middle of the scale, identifying themselves as expressing more characteristics of the opposite gender than either those who were bisexual (Fb, Mb) or questioning (Fq, Mq).
