This pun combines my love for penis and bacon. Well played, sir.

Can I be, like, a half-member, or does the club not work that way?

Woah, those exist in the human race?

Asexual means that you can reproduce without mating. No, they don't exist in the human race :P

Yes.

Wait, should sexual orientation include magnitude?

If a homosexual is thrusting at 30 degrees with a force of 50 newtons, and a heterosexual is thrusting at 110 degrees with a force of 75 newtons, what is the overall direction and magnitude of the thrust force that will result?

Uh, absolutely. I'm at a loss for what the criteria would be specifically for a high magnitude, but sex drive overall seems to make sense.

The Kinsey scale expresses sexual orientation on a scale of 0-6, 0 being purely heterosexual and 6 being purely homosexual.
I prefer a decimal system, 0-10, with the same polarity (simply because powers of ten are nice to work with), which I have arbitrarily named the Sexual Orientation Index (SOI).
We can note magnitude along with orientation. This could be done in a number of ways, but I propose the use of a comma-delimited list of [orientation],[magnitude] for easy of typing. Magnitude could be expressed on a scale of 0-10, but it is difficult to define these units, as there is no definite high limit for magnitude.

Kinsey posited that the extreme values (0 and 6 on his scale, or 0 and 10 SOI) are rare, and that a bell curve exists, which may or may not be biased towards Heterosexual (modern research indicates that there is a strong bias). We can assume that a similar trend exists in magnitudes (i.e. the 0 value, and values above 9 or so, are very uncommon).

The challenge that remains is to define a scale for magnitudes.
