The Spectrum of Sexuality

28 Jul

Have you heard of the Kinsey scale? I have not and I just came across it recently and I was very fascinated to read about it so I thought I share it here on the blog for the world to discover their sexuality. Just kidding. I guess anything about sexuality ‘arouses’ (pun intended) my curiosity.

According to the Kinsey scale, sexuality can be scaled between two opposites, heterosexuality and homosexuality.

0           Exclusively heterosexual

1           Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual

2           Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual

3           Equally heterosexual and homosexual.

4           Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual

5           Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual

6           Exclusively homosexual

X           Asexual, Non-Sexual

The last bit is rather funny and interesting at the same time. I cannot imagine anyone being asexual except perhaps plants. I am sorry but I don’t think monks and highly attained Beings are asexual. I think they just channeled that energy towards spiritual realisation and/or benefitting others.

Hence, I think Tantra is such a powerful and effective method toward reaching enlightenment. I say that because all beings are consumed by desire and Tantric methods taps into such a powerful source as sexual desire and convert it into spiritual transformation. How this is done is beyond the scope of this little blog post but I might get into that later. Anyway, what’s your scale and can you guess mine? Hehe!

    David, how can gay people use tantra to channel sexual energy to gain attainment?

    Dear rawr,
    Finding a qualified Lama, dedicating themselves towards studying the Dharma, Dharma work, collecting lots of merits and requesting the Lama for Vajrayogini initiation. Vajrayogini has a a very powerful means whatever sexual preference that you are.
