Information
The Multidimensional Scale of Sexuality was devised by Larry Kurdek, B. Berkey and T. Perelman-Hall. It is an extension of the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, recognising that sexual identities can change over time, people can identify with more than one sexual identity, and that asexuality is a valid sexual identity. The Multidimensional Scale of Sexuality was published in the "Journal of Homosexuality" in 1990.Take the quiz

Sexuality is a funny ol' thing. Especially right now, for me. I enjoy the pleasures of the flesh with just about anyone who'll throw their flesh at me... but right now, I am more aware of men. It's a bit detrimental.
I've been noticing, for instance, just how many short men there are at my workplace. I'm surrounded by people with power-full jobs. The justice system is full of it. Attorneys, law clerks, process servers, investigators, cops, detectives, detention facility employees, bailiffs, marshals, etc. For good reason, most of the people directly involved with perpetrators of bad acts are usually big men. Tall, muscular, fairly fit. Even the older process servers and investigators look slightly menacing. The cops, bailiffs, marshals, the guys who are the 'handlers' - all big dudes. You don't see too many women in that line of work unless they're working for the women's detention center. We do have women marshals here & there, and they are also tough-looking women.
But for some reason, the higher up a guy's position is on the socio-political scale in my office, the shorter they seem to get. I was in the elevator with a bunch of attorneys today and not one of them stood more than an inch or two taller than me. A part of me, being the only woman in the elevator, standing in the direct center, surrounded by fairly decent-looking, well-dressed, good-smelling, warm-bodied men was perfectly content. But most of me was wishing they were all about a head taller than myself. I was still engaging in light banter - most of them know me, and making some good eye contact with one who was probably a defense attorney who looked kind of like Gary Oldman... but I didn't have to look up to make said eye contact and that made me kind of droop inside. Later in the afternoon, the head guy passed me in the hallway and for the first time, I saw him close up and out from behind his desk. He's shorter than I am. I mean, c'mon, wtf, do they all have some kind of Little Big Man syndrome or what?
