Bisexuals Get Colds Too

You know those days when give yourself a fright?  You look in the mirror and go, “Who the hell are you and what did you do with me?”
Today is one of those days for me. I woke up with runny nose and I’ve been sneezing more than your average Disney dwarf.  If things continue like [...]

Bisexuality on the ‘Lane’

Desperate Housewives is a household name. The show which burst on the scene in 2004 telling the story of Susan, Bree, Edie, Lynette, and Gabrielle, following the suicide of their friend Mary Alice—has followed the textbook rules for good drama since its original air date. Starting with a fantastic hook—the suicide of Mary [...]

Wisdom From My Female Partners

It almost seems we bisexual guys spend a lot of time trying to convince people that we really like both men and women.  In fact we bi men may spend so much time trying to do just that, we end up getting lost in what amounts to a theoretical argument and we forget we’re actually [...]

Invitation to a Bash

“Have fun having gay sex!” The comment was spat at me in anger. “Because that’s the only sex you’re going to get!” The anger was clear and the statement dripped with the venom of hate. The fact is, though that in the midst of a fight words are often thrown about [...]

Beyond Bisexuality

I assume that, like me, you have been following the news lately.  It seems that the past two weeks have brought a slew of major tragedy and change.  First there was the devastating earthquake in Haiti, then major civil unrest in central Nigeria.  Closer to home, there was what turned into an upset senatorial election [...]

Bisexuality and the Nature of Relationships

One thing is sure: when we bisexuals meet someone, there is a wide range of possibilities for where a relationship can go.
Have you ever considered the possible ways we can relate to each other: family, friend, colleague, partner, lover or acquaintance?   Some of these categories can overlap, either dovetailing nicely or conflicting grossly.  Now, the [...]

Bisexual in the New Year

Bisexuality. A lot of time and effort goes into defining it. The word itself – having hermaphroditic connotations – was suggested as obsolete in favor of ambisexual but this was never adopted. Alfred Kinsey, the foremost authority on human sexuality declared himself bisexual. Hundreds of women and men have declared themselves [...]

New Year’s Letter on Bisexality

Dear Readers,
As 2009 draws to a close and 2010 dawns, we are surrounded by a myriad of holidays: Hanukah, Ras as-Sana, Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa and Ashura.  We are immersed in rebirth, miracle and thanksgiving.  I, for one, could not be happier for that.
While there is also suffering and bad news just as at any time [...]

The Power of Words in the Bisexual Community

Words are very powerful. The right words can lead an army into war, make one fall in love, or influence an entire generation to think feel or act a certain way. Civilizations have fought wars over the words in books. They seem so simple, so innocuous—yet they hold such great sway over [...]

Bisexuality: It’s Your Thing

As an English teacher and a writer, I am in favor of the precise use of language in order to ensure that our messages are clearly sent and received.  It’s true that we can’t always guarantee either the former or the latter, but it’s important to try.  In support of clarity, I’m normally behind the [...]
