Kinsey believed that sexual orientation was on a continuum, ranging from exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual, with many people falling somewhere in between. He believed that sexuality was fluid and could change over time and context, rather than an either/or situation. He also believed that sexual behavior was influenced by social, cultural, and environmental factors, rather than being solely determined by biology.
