Not the crime novel kind of plotting, but the math kind!
I've posted before on the
Kinsey Scale, which is a way of easily illustrating your sexual orientation to people, should it become their business for whatever reason. I thought it was pretty handy - and it is - but recently, I've been introduced to a tool for illustrating a person's preferred sexual orientation that is way more accurate and inclusive. It's the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid!

The Klein Grid is actually based on the Kinsey scale, but takes it up a notch. Also out a notch and slantways a notch and so on. It doesn't just look at sexual behavior and fantasies, but also at emotional, social and lifestyle preferences, and how a person self-identifies.

You can put yourself on a Klein Grid
here! It's not the final word in sexual orientation, of course, but I like that it takes more than just sexy time into account when determining a person's placement. Because while being LGBT is not a substitute for creating a personality for yourself, it's a hell of a lot more than just who you fantasize about, or even who you sleep with. Thank you, Dr. Fritz Klein, for helping expand our understandinks!
