Storms’ model is a two-dimensional map of erotic orientation showing four sexual orientation categories: homosexual, bisexual, asexual, and heterosexual. This model was proposed in 1978 by Michael Storms to address several inadequacies with the one-dimensional Kinsey scale. By placing hetero- and homo-eroticim on two perpendicular axes, Storms' model can both account for asexuality, which fits poorly into the bipolar Kinsey scale, and more accurately describe bisexuality.
