Kinsey Scale

The Kinsey is an important part of the views on Sexuality Fluidity, it supports its validity greatly and should be represented in the article to give the presence of all views on the subject.

The Kinsey Scale is a scale invented by Albert Kinsey in 1948 (also called the Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale). The Kinsey Scale shows sexuality on a continuum with the levels going from 1 to 6. This scale supports the idea that sexuality is fluid and is on a scale from hetero-, bi- to homosexual. It conveys how that there are different levels of heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual; also showing the possibility for one to be completely heterosexual or heterosexual with homosexual curiosties. The scale does this by taking into account the individuals' desires, self identification, and behaviors relate to their sexuality. Sexuality is shown as having the ability to fluctuate throughout a lifetime.

So far the idea looks good! I would definitely suggest adding your citations into the the body because right now it just looks like original work, which probably wouldn't be a great idea. Maybe adding wiki links for big ideas or people like Albert Kinsey would be a good idea to. Besides citation, I would just suggest adding a heading or showing where in the article you plan to put it.

Information looks great. Citations would help the sections about the continuum, desires, and sexuality shown as being able to fluctuate. The word curiosity is misspelled.
