Answer to Question 1

First, Kinsey emphasized people's behavior (although he did consider other factors such as fantasies and emotions), but some researchers suggest that people's emotions and fantasies are the most important determinants of sexual orientation (Bell et al., 1981; F. Klein, 1993; Storms, 1980, 1981). Second, the scale is static in time; how recently must one have had homosexual contact to qualify for incidents of homosexual behavior? If a man slept with six men over the last year and had sex with his wife once a week, is he in category 5 (because he had sex with six men and only one woman) or category 2 (because he had 52 experiences with a woman, but only 6 with men; F. Klein, 1990)?

Answer to Question 2

True
