However I felt the section on threesomes and consensual non-monogamy was too much of a tangent and only loosely related to bisexuality - it would have been better to have a chapter on, say, 'how to address biphobia in daily life'. The chapter on global issues surrounding sexuality was especially good. Good introduction if you ignore the last chaptersĪ straightforward introduction to bisexuality and some of the issues involved with being bi. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. Today, most bisexual activists and researchers define bisexuality as attraction to more than one gender, and this is a book for anyone whether they identify as bisexual, plurisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual, fluid, unlabelled, any related label or who just wants to know more.

This book aims to demystify bisexuality and celebrate it. She explains the visual language of bisexuality, about bi visibility on screen and the colourful world of bisexual communities. She also questions societal reactions to bisexuality (are bi people more promiscuous? No). She asks why so few bisexual people are out, and examines the mental and physical health consequences of this. She examines the latest research on bisexual kids, parents and grandparents, and explores bisexual identities across the lifespan. She introduces some famous bi activists and scholars whom everyone should know. She looks at behavioural bisexuality in animals, and investigates whether there is a bi gene. In Bi, Julia Shaw explores how people have defined and measured bisexuality during its long and important history.

This book sets out to answer some of the questions that many people have about bisexuality. Bisexuality is the largest sexual minority in the world and the least well understood.
