Dr. Kinsey and his team interviewed 12,000 men between 1938 - 1947. At least 50 men were interviewed in each of the 48 continental states, but the sample was heavily weighted toward the northeastern United States.

Kinsey created a scale divided into 7 parts (numbered 0 - 6). Zero represented exclusively heterosexual psychological reactions and overt experiences. Seven represented exclusively homosexual psychological reactions and overt experiences. Three represented equally heterosexual and homosexual reactions and experiences. He noted that individuals may position themselves at different points on this scale at different times in their lives. Kinsey discusses the statistical intricacies of his data in this area for more than 55 pages.

Kinsey notes that 37% of his respondents have had at least some homosexual experience, most of them during puberty. This would make them, strictly speaking, bisexual.
