EXACTLY (none / 0)
it's like a phylogenetic tree of sex.  Hetero and Homo at the top, then subdivide between asexualhetero- hypo hetero- hetero- hyperhetero-hyperbiheteroma jora- biheteromajora-hypo biheteromajora- asexual biheteromajora-asexual bihomomajora- hypobihomomajora-bihomomajo ra-hyperbihomomajora- asexual homo-hypohomo- homo- hyperhomo

Holy shit...this is why dialogue is so great!

Relating the tree to a spectrum (none / 0)
Here's my rough idea:

A rough 2D representation of sexuality
A rough 2D representation of sexuality

But it could be related more accurately to a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional color spectrum, relating colors to luminance and chromaticity:

If you imagine that your "phylogenetic tree of sex" replaces the divisions with the color names shown on the field, then you can see what I'm talking about.  The discrete parts of the phyla can be related in a generalizing way to the spectrum.
