（Alfred

Alfred C. Kinsey
(1894-1956) did not accept the division of people into two distinct groups - “homosexual” and “heterosexual”.

金西从他的研究成果中得出了符合逻辑的推断。以他自己的话说：
|
“男性并不意指两个分割的人群——异性恋者和同性恋者。世间本无好坏(sheep
and
goats)[1]之分。并不是所有的事物要么是黑要么是白。……。大自然罕有涉及孤立的事物分类。只有人类的头脑才会创造这种分类，并试图把实情强行塞进鸽笼里(以遮掩真相)。活生生的世界中的万事万物都是一个连续的统一体。就人类的性行为来看，我们越快认识到这一点，就会越快逼近理解性的真谛……。如果人群不被分类为异性恋者或同性恋者，而是有一定程度的异性性体验和同性性体验的个体，就会激励我们对这种性现象保持清醒的头脑。”[2]

不过，众所周知，在日常生活中，人们并未做出这种科学的区分，而是仍然谈及到“男同(gay)”和“直人(straight)”[3]，好像他们能够被清晰地定义成分隔的人群似的。甚至，出于社会政治方面的原因，许多“男同”也喜欢以这种称呼对待自己，不过，有一些“男同”想要在更宽泛得多的性取向象谱来认识自己。(整个这个议题是另一讲的主题。读者可以在我们网站的论“双性恋”的论文里得到一些初步的知识。)

Basic Types of Sexual Behavior |

3. Homosexual Intercourse |
|
A Continuum of Experience |

Kinsey also drew the logical conclusion from his discoveries. In his own words: |
|
"Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. Not all things are black nor all things white. , . . Nature rarely deals with discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects. The sooner we learn this concerning human sexual behavior the sooner we shall reach a sound understanding of the realities of sex….It would encourage clearer thinking on these matters if persons were not characterized as heterosexual or homosexual, but as individuals who have had certain amounts of heterosexual experience and certain amounts of homosexual experience."

However, as we all know, in everyday life people do not make these scientific distinctions, but continue to speak of “gays” and “straights” as if they were clearly definable separate groups. Indeed, for various sociopolitical reasons, many “gays” also prefer to see themselves this way, Others, however, want recognition for a much wider spectrum of sexual orientations. (This whole issue is the subject of another course. Some preliminary information can be found in the paper on “bisexuality” on our web site.)
