No one said "rare." As I understand it, Kinsey 0 is the largest single category (by far), but the sum of Kinsey 1-5 is slightly higher. Of course, this is based on more than just the original (somewhat disputed) Kinsey Reports; later studies used the same scale despite being unconnected to the original research, simply because it's so darn useful! Case in point, the only reason I used the Kinsey scale here is because it's more precise than waffling and qualifying my terms (e.g., "absolutely heterosexual vs. effectively heterosexual").

Obviously, I am not a professional sexologist or sociologist and thus I could be misunderstanding the implications. But it's really tangential to the point, which is that the larger the segment (of the populace) a player claims Immunity to Sex Appeal from (based on his character's sexual preference), the larger the segment the GM can reasonably assume he has difficulty seducing, himself. That's just two sides of the same coin.

(Let's make sure we all keep on the topic of representing asexuality in GURPS, BTW, and not diverge into a discussion about human sexual norms.)
