I completely agree, and also believe the same of homosexuals: if you can't appreciate the opposite sex, you aren't looking with the right perspective.
But if I believe that, why vote 6 and say I'm exclusively homosexual? The way I read the Kinsey Scale is with regards to sexual attraction - that is, if you are in any way sexually aroused by some facet of the human body, you poll somewhere on the scale of 0-6. As I have never been sexually attracted to females, though can greatly appreciate the female body, I voted 6.
Ultimately, however, I believe the Kinsey Scale is still too rigid an organizational method for human sexuality. Instead, I strongly believe in a spectrum, like that posted a few months ago on this forum in some random thread (all I remember is Ceddy reposted it a few posts later), and that no one is 100% exclusively heterosexual or homosexual. My personal hypothesis is that human sexuality is greatly influenced by genetics, with even specific alleles for the trait following the genetic concept of incomplete dominance. Like a flower colored a certain shade of pink, resulting from the cross of a red and white flower, so too do I believe human sexuality work; everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum.
