Generally, the KSOG’s overtly erotic items (Sexual Fantasies, Sexual Behavior, and Sexual Attraction), as well as the Self Identification items, tended to be more uniform within groups than the more social items were (Emotional Preference, Socialize with, and Lifestyle). We calculated means and standard deviations of these 14 clusters on the 21 variables composing the KSOG. A five-cluster classification was chosen for the Main Study men ( n = 212), a four-cluster classification for the Main Study women ( n = 120), and a five-cluster classification for the HIV Study men ( n = 620).
We used a cluster analysis to empirically address whether sexual orientation is a continuum or can usefully be divided into categories such as heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual using scores on the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG) in three samples: groups of men and women recruited through bisexual groups and the Internet (Main Study men Main Study women), and men recruited for a clinical study of HIV and the nervous system (HIV Study men).
