A much hotter Kinsey scale

Back in 1948, Alfred Kinsey and his colleagues Wardell Pomeroy and Clyde Martin developed the Kinsey scale. It was also called the Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale, and was designed to describe a person's sexuality on scale from 0, meaning exclusively heterosexual, to 6, meaning exclusively homosexual. Numbers between 1 and 5 indicated a level of bisexuality.

"Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual," explained Kinsey. "The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories ... The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects."

Artist Michael DiMotta decided to take an otherwise boring concept and jazz it up a bit. We approve!
