Klein scale
Explanation of the Klein sexual orientation grid, which talks about sexuality on a spectrum and in multiple types of relationships.
Like Kinsey's work, Klein also proposed a classification that goes beyond sexual behaviors and outlines the different aspects of our needs/desires: relational, emotional, and sexual and our actions to meet those needs.
Taking into account his research, it can be illustrated by the following diagrams.
