Wiki Education assignment: Research Process and Methodology - RPM SP 2022 - MASY1-GC 1260 201 Thu

Question
editCite: "The Kinsey scale says that having a higher level attraction to one gender results in less attraction to the other, which some studies do not support.[39]" How does the Kinsey scale say that? It doesn't seem to say anything about "how strong" attraction is, it just measures if its more towards female or male. Does it really say that people in the middle of the scale can't be equally uninterested in men and women? Doesn't the message stay the same? "More people than you'd think are capable of feeling attraction towards male and female bodies."

Bisexuality is defined as attraction to more than one gender, and often with a preference, although not necessary.
Other definitions, like being attracted to both men and women, are less inclusive to non-binary and trans folks. Douwe11 (talk) 06:43, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 07:57, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
2005 study
editI would suggest a rewrite in the Perceptions and discrimination section which cites the 2005 penile pletismography study, because a 2020 overview of several studies (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7414168/) seems to debunk it. 86.32.104.167 (talk) 20:50, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
