This is not surprising. Also note in my experience the only people who are really accepting of the Kinsey scale are bisexual or merely questioning of sexuality. Seeing as Kinsey himself was a Bisexual male his measure of people who were like him that he tried to apply to everyone kind of works I guess. Oh boy I must really be tired I am just rambling.

I.e. it falls on a bell curve. BELL CURVE. If you were to use the chart Faz is using, which is a BAR CHART, more people would be gay than bi or straight. This simply isn't how it works. Maybe 5% or so, tops, is completely unattracted to the opposite sex, and like the same is true of heterosexual orientations (though, probably higher in men than women, as women are - yes I know it's stereotype, but the research does seem to bear this out - somewhat more likely to be bi, or at least, certainly less likely to stick with the hetero label for their whole life). And of course, it's not based simply on "what have you done", it's based on what you're ATTRACTED to. If you're Faz and you're turned on by Amber, who is female, then you are not a 6 on the Kinsey scale, even if you HAVE had (and enjoyed) sex with a male.

I agree that Faz doesn't understand that you are where you are by growing into it, as opposed to using it as some form of score card. If it was a scorecard, then eathan would be (at this point) around 0 (Rob Corddry withstanding).
