Anglia Ruskin University anthropologist Dr Jason Hodgson says sexuality is a spectrum, from heterosexual to bisexual.

Heterosexuality and homosexuality are at the extremes of this spectrum, so most people should be somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.

The academic imagines a sexuality spectrum running from 0 to 1 , denoting the proportion of same-sex experiences out of all sexual experiences.

A person with a value of zero would have 0 per cent same sex experiences, and 100 per cent heterosexual experiences.

Dr Hodgson thinks most people are 'in the bisexual range' much like our primate relatives in the jungle.

John Sylla , president of the American Institute of Bisexuality , said people who are 'purely straight or purely gay' can often 'generalise their own experience' and think all other people 'must be one or the other'. Also, there may be people who describe themselves as straight or gay who may actually be bisexual, he suggested. 'There are bisexually aroused men and women, even if for different reasons they choose to pass as just straight or gay,' he said..
