Recent research is even suggesting the intriguing idea that heterosexuality and homosexuality are phases on the way to bisexuality."

Movies Reflect the Undefined Sexuality of Youth  ...Although Many Filmmakers Fear Using the Word 'Bisexual' N/A: "Bryant founded Biversity in Boston, a mixed-gender network of 500 bisexuals and is on the board of the Bisexual Resource Center. He insists movies help influence people into believing what is acceptable and films help young people find role models. "The lack of positive role models contribute to the increased suicide rates of queer youth," Bryant explains. "Kids don't see characters on the screen they identify with, and now they may." Characters may not be labeled by the filmmakers, but Bryant sees "a new trend toward young people just not taking a label or caring about label." However, it's not just young characters, and it's not just an American phenomenon..." - Bisexuality in Films. - Male Bisexuality on the Big and Small Screen: Is Visibility Slowly Improving? - Toronto lesbian safety study explicitly excludes bisexual women.

Arndt, Marlene (2009). Attitudes towards bisexual men and women: the relationship between respondents' attitudes and their sexual orientation. PhD Dissertation, Psychology, University of Johannesburg. PDF Download. Download Page. This study posits that although the South African government has shown an unprecedented commitment to acknowledging and upholding the human rights of bisexual men and women, negative attitudes exist towards bisexual men and women. A mixed method research study was conducted, consisting of three phases... The results indicated that participants’ attitudes towards bisexual men and women vary on a range of factors such as gender, religiosity, contact, and the sexual orientation of the participants. Both heterosexual and homosexual students have more negative attitudes towards bisexual men and women than bisexual students. This double discrimination by heterosexuals and the gay and lesbian community is seldom recognised or acknowledged. Therefore, the current research findings elucidate that this oppression is real, and may have negative psychological effects on bisexual men and women. The results are discussed against the background of previous studies, and suggestions for future research are made.

What Does Biphobia Look Like? -  The theme, "Biphobia Makes Us Blue", underscores two key political points simultaneously.  First, the term "Blue" accurately and synonymously describes the sadness, disappointment, and frustration we all feel when we are demeaned, rejected, excluded as bisexuals amongst our lesbian and gay peers. - Biphobia - Biphobia. - Internalized Biphobia. - Biphobia and Transphobia: Intellectual Ammunition from the Lesbian Avengers/SF. - Biphobia: It Goes More Than Two Ways. - Bisexuality Awareness and Bi-phobia: Afraid of Bisexuals?

Dobinson, Cheryl (2003). Improving the Access and Quality of Public Health Services for Bisexuals: A position paper and resolution adopted by the Ontario Public Health Association (OPHA). PDF Download. Excerpts: "When asked about the unique issues, experiences and challenges facing bisexual people one of the most common responses was to list the kinds of myths and stereotypes that exist around bisexuality, and which bisexuals must deal with. These include: that bisexuals must have a 50/50 attraction to men and women, that they are dishonest and cheat on their partners, that they can’t be monogamous, that it’s a phase or a transition, that bisexuals are wild and sexual, that they spread STDs/AIDS, that they are selfish, that they’re playing the field, that they can’t make up their  minds, that bisexuality doesn’t really exist and isn’t a legitimate sexual identity, and that bisexuals stay in the closet and live a mainly straight life. The existence of such stereotypes and myths about bisexuals is outlined in current literature as well (Bisexual Resource Centre 2002, McLean 2001, McInnis and Kong 1998, Richters 1997a, CLGRO 1997). Participants also talked about feelings of not belonging in either the straight or gay world, and about experiencing biphobia from gays and lesbians. They pointed out that bisexuals are largely invisible and that there is a lack of bisexual groups or a bisexual community to be part of. They mentioned isolation and loneliness, confusion, and mental health and self-esteem issues. Many felt that bisexuals experience pressure to choose to identify as gay or straight and also others being confused about what bisexuality means or why it is important. These feelings and experiences are also mentioned in the existing literature (Dennis 2003, Vargas 2002, Fallas and Landers 1999, Taghavi 1999, Vanasco 1999, McInnis and Kong 1998, Cornelson 1998, CLGRO 1997, Richters 1997a, Ochs 1996, Fox 1996, Alley 1996, Weinberg, Williams and Pryor 1994).

Avoidance of bisexuality: A psychohistorical exploration of sexualities and their consequences (2010): The avoidance of bisexuality is discussed as a reaction against the destabilizing effects that bisexuality has on the accepted binary and static conceptualization of sexuality and as a reaction to the moral anxiety that is aroused in relation to sexuality in general. Biphobia, from both the sexual majority and minority, hetero- and homo-sexual communities, is discussed as an active defense against the destabilization of cultural norms. Given past iatrogenic treatment of sexual minorities and current biphobic sociocultural norms, therapeutic and treatment recommendations for bisexual clients include: (a) having the therapist examine their own prejudices and limitations, (b) assessing the effectiveness of the interventions applied given the timing and needs of the client, (c) employing psychoeducation as a means to highlight sexual minorities' struggle for recognition and tolerance, (d) aiding the client in examining the effect of internalized sociocultural norms on their current feelings about their own sexuality, and (e) the clinician's use of basic clinical skills.

A hatred of bisexuality in gay communities? - Life as a Social Outcast: (White Print on White Background) "The first time I told someone I was bisexual there was silence.

Greenesmith H (2010). Drawing Bisexuality Back into the Picture: How Bisexuality Fits into LGBT Legal Strategy Ten Years After Bisexual Erasure. PDF. PDF.  [I]f I am not free and if I am not entitled equal to heterosexuals and homosexuals then homosexual men and women have joined with the dominant heterosexual culture in the tyrannical pursuit of E Pluribus Unum and I a bisexual woman committed to cultural pluralism and, therefore to sexual pluralism, can only say, you better watch your back! ...The queer community is stuck with one another. We are lucky enough to represent all humans. Everyone has a sexual orientation and a gender identity, just as everyone has a race, a national origin, and a creed. We cannot, as a community, allow the complexity of human identity and sexuality to be our excuse for forgetting those among us who do not fit along the binary or into a neat definition. As humanity continues to expand and evolve, we will continue to discover new identities and expressions. We must be prepared to accept and address human sexuality and identity or we will fail as a movement.

Bisexual... la sola palabra despierta pasiones y agudos enfrentamientos; para unos es sólo una condición transitoria en el paso de la heterosexualidad a la homosexualidad, un estado "por superar"; también se habla de ella como una homosexualidad solapada, la de aquellos que temen asumirse y terminan envueltos en relaciones con personas del sexo opuesto para demostrarle a los demás (y a sí mismos) que no son "eso". Por su parte una fracción de la comunidad gay ha llegado a satanizar al bisexual, calificándolo de cobarde por su "negativa" a definirse como "homo", un hijo de la opresión, un indefinido, nada. Además, en ésta, la era del sida, este personaje ha conseguido ganarse una muy mala reputación siendo culpado de "propagar" el virus por fuera de la comunidad homosexual (!); en fin el bisexual crea un vaivén que nadie parece soportar.

Skott Freedman: The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Alliance of Virginia Tech brought a speaker to campus last night to address the issue of bisexuality in the gay community.

Freedman said people often assume that either you are gay or you are straight." - Queer Enough For Ya?: (White Print on White Background) "I have, at times, experienced biphobia amongst lesbians. In fact, many bisexual women fear going to lesbian spaces because we know it's possible that our sexuality will be questioned or denied outright. However, I've never been able to illustrate that experience with perfect clarity ... until now."

Kurt Cobain's suicide note. Cobain self-identified as bisexual and, during adolescence, he would write "God is Gay!" on parked cars.  (The Dark Side of Kurt Cobain). Pfaff, the female bassist in Cobain's wife (Courtney Love's) rock group, Hole, also committed suicide. She  identified as bisexual and they both had been an intimate part of a human collective which strongly denied that bisexuality existed. Both were therefore constantly reminded that they "should not exist," and Courtney Love was in the category of. vehemently denying that bisexuality existed.

Sinead: "Everyone is Bisexual N/A" She reveals, "I'm not a lesbian. I'm bisexual. I believe everyone is bisexual, there's no such thing as gay or straight." -  Were here, we're... uh... straight? "I'm not one of those obnoxious people who go around saying, "Everyone's bisexual," either. I think most people are actually mostly heterosexual, and some portion of the population is exclusively so. I also think a significant percentage of people are mostly homosexual and a portion of them exclusively so. It's the mostly that interests me, because within that lies the possibility of surprise and change and something not at all like conversion." - New Haven Advocate: Both Ends Against the Middle: How gays and straights make bisexuals invisible.(Interview with Kenji Yoshino, author of 2000 paper "The epistemic contract of bisexual erasure." Stanford Law Review 53(2), 353-461: "Some people have this really utopian vision of bisexuality: Twenty years from now, we're all just going to wake up and realize that we're all bisexual."

Thus, in some populations of Japanese macaques, females prefer certain same-sex sexual partners relative to certain male mates, and vice versa. Taken together, this evidence suggests that female Japanese macaques are best characterized as bisexual in orientation, not preferentially homosexual or preferentially heterosexual."

Press the right buttons: "But Tim, Jackie, Bob and the others still describe themselves as gay - though Tim thinks he may have been "a lazy heterosexual". Not one of them, interestingly, will go near the B-word. And typically, even that old fraud David Bowie, who had a whole generation parroting "Everyone's bisexual!", has recently been banging on about what an effort it was to fancy men for all those years. When did bisexuality stop being the belle of the ball and become the love that dare not speak its name? Since we realised that, with a few honourable exceptions, those who rally under its banner tend to be more than usually dim, dull and desperate." - Where to start? So many good things to choose from this month: "Vice Versa goes on provoking discussion - it's amazing how many column inches some good PR and a book on a trendy topic will get you.

Vice Versa: bisexuality and the eroticism of everyday life - 1995 - by Marjore Garber: "This is a five hundred page tome that ploughs through a bisexual history of the western world: Stephen Spender, D.H.Lawrence, Frieda Kahlo, Virginia Woolf .... The list is virtually endless, and all your favourite bisexals turn up somewhere. Indeed, almost everyone turns up somewhere, which is Garber's problem. She knows enough about politics to know that identities are self-chosen, and that you shouldn't go around telling people that they are bisexual. But on the other hand, her devotion to Freud's notion of an original bisexuality is so complete that she can't help implying at every turn that everyone is bisexual, really. (Which is presumably why she has been so well received by the bi comunity in the USA, and is likely to get the same reception here). Much as she strenuously avoids saying it, it's hard to tell what other conclusion she is reaching." - Do you see yourself bisexual or just sexual? If you want my personal opinion, I think that everyone is bisexual. Some people act on it, some don't.

Anti-Gay, edited by Mark Simpson (1996): reviewed by Terry Sanderson. "The anti-gay movement, for those who don't know, is a collection of people who are homosexual (or who at least have homosexual sex), and claim to be sickened by the way the "gay community" has evolved. They think that we have contrived to create a lifestyle for ourselves that is devoid of spontaneity, and that in order to be considered "gay" you have to conform not only in dress and hairstyle, but in thinking too. Any criticism of the gay "lifestyle", however justified, say the leaders of this movement, is now immediately, and unthinkingly, branded homophobic... This is another failing of the book: at one point it propounds the old idea that everyone is bisexual and that it is damaging to define ourselves as homosexual and heterosexual. There's no such thing as gay, according to the great minds that have contributed to this volume, it's all just a delusion. Well, pardon me for dissenting, but I am definitely gay. Or homosexual. Or six on the Kinsey scale. I don't have a heterosexual or bisexual cell in my body, and I'm not just saying that. Believe me, I know. I've tried..."

Intelligent and well worth reading (Re: Gore Vidal: Sexually Speaking: Collected Sex Writings by Gore Vidal): "Another reservation is that it is time that Vidal stop insisting that everyone is bisexual and that exclusive homosexuality does not exist when he himself has been exclusively homosexual for several generations. Rather than admit that he was wrong about this proclamation which he made back in the sixties, Vidal plows ahead, sounding more and more absurd each time he says it. Vidal's viewpoint on sexuality is pragmatic and free of guilt and superstition. He is very much in line with the rationalist/utilitarian school of Western philosophy." - Growing up in a world where male homomosexuality is the rule, not the exception. - Could you be bisexual?

It could be so complicated. From a Tantric spiritual perspective it makes sense that we are models of the Divine which contains all potentials and all sexualities."

Kurt Cobain - "All Apologies": "Everyone is gay". - Eminem: "I think many people fail to see the point that Eminem really isn't all that offensive and controversial, just as offensive and controversial as a mainstream act can get. All I see in him is wasted potential, a solid rapper with good flow who wastes it writing songs about how important he is, how everybody is gay, and how controversial he is. - Sir Ian McKellen: "Well, I tend to think everybody IS gay, but straights tend to think everybody is probably straight, and the truth is somewhere in between I expect."

Ain't Misbehavin'?: Sex and the Dumaguete College Student: "Alfay Vintola is the same. He carefully avoids the trappings of being perceived a bisexual by looking and acting very much a heterosexual. In the July 17, 1995 issue of Newsweek, John Leland calls bisexuality as the “wild card of our erotic life.” The concept of having it both ways is strange and new to many; intellectuals however have acknowledged it for many years now. In retrospect of his short story The City and the Pillar, novelist Gore Vidal claims “everybody is bisexual.” Sigmund Freud theorized that we are really all bisexual, even pointing out that exclusive heterosexuality was a problem. “What I like is the [appreciation of my own] maleness itself,” Alfay says. He silently protests that his being bisexual does not arise from any desire to become another gender. As one bisexual puts it: “I don’t desire a gender. I desire a person.”

Bershtein, Evgenii (2011). The notion of universal bisexuality in Russian religious philosophy. In: Risto Alapuro, Arto Mustajoki, Pekka Pesonen (Eds), Understanding Russianness. PDF Download. Homosexuality and bisexuality have been a sensational and hotly discussed topic in the post-Soviet media. The tenor of these discussions proves that despite its decriminalization in 1993, homosexuality has remained a controversial and problematic issue for the Russian public. Addressing this topic, contemporary Russian policy-makers, journalists, writers, and scholars !nd themselves having to consider religious taboos, scienti!c explanations, philosophical interpretations, and moral judgements attached to same-sex love. Moreover, the debate that is taking place today is shaped and informed not only (and not so much) by the social and political vocabulary produced by the gay movement in the West, but also by the interpretations developed around the notion of homosexuality in Russia in the early twentieth century. At that time, important religious thinkers, such as Vasily Rozanov, Pavel Florensky, Nikolay Berdyayev, and Sergey Bulgakov, examined the spiritual meaning of same-sex love.

Commentaries: "i was having one of those late night conversations with my daughter and her friends, and their opinion is that pretty much everyone is bisexual, just some are more repressed than others. other than the one who's 20 and has never even kissed anyone, all the non-virgins (these are girls i'm talking to here) had been with women as well as men, and would do it again. they don't feel confined by having to look for "the right man"." - Partly Gay? For Some Teen Girls, Sexual Preference Is A Shifting Concept N/A (Washington Post Feature article): " Social scientists say that 5 percent to 7 percent of young people are gay or lesbian, and that teenagers are starting at younger ages to have same-sex sexual experiences: 13 for boys, 15 for girls. But those figures don't begin to tell the full story about today's girls because girls, more often than boys, experiment with their sexuality and resist being placed in any particular group."

Sophie B. Hawkins: "I've always been aware that women love women and men love men and should be able to do so as openly, deeply and practically as heterosexual relationships are expected to be expressed. My mother didn't hide her love affairs with women, and my father always said, "Everyone is bisexual," so I didn't feel bad about my crushes on men and women, ever..."

Jordan: "I’m pretty lucky. Both my parents are ministers and I always grew up with the Kinsey model – that everyone falls somewhere on a scale of 1 to 6, 1 being totally heterosexual and 6 being totally homosexual. I was always taught that everyone’s bisexual, it’s just a matter of degree. For me, there was never a coming out. My family always assumed I was bi, that I’d either bring home Bob or Barbara."

True Nature: A Theory of Human Sexual Evolution. Part 1: "A historical review of homosexuality in diverse cultures reveals that significantly many cultures have existed where (male) bisexuality has been rather universal and that all cultures have condemned exclusive homosexuality, either legally or with the threat of social rejection. Neither of these facts can be rationalized using the ballpark ‘10%’ statistic for homosexuality believed to be representative of human beings..." - True Nature: A Theory of Human Sexual Evolution. Parts 2–4. - People in a World Between: Psychodynamic Themes in the Treatment of Bisexual Patients: Culture and Psychoanalytic Theory: "Normal sexual behavior is on a continuum—with homosexuality at one end, heterosexuality at the other, and bisexuality at the midpoint.

Writings on Bisexuality

Bisexuality: A Contemporary Paradox for Women. by Paula C. Rodriguez Rust (Journal of Social Issues, Summer 2000): "The cultural construction of "lesbian" and "heterosexual" women in late-nineteenth-century European cultures created both the possibility of conceiving the "bisexual" woman and the belief that bisexuality cannot exist. Social scientists have suggested several alternatives to dichotomous constructions of sexuality to facilitate the conceptualization of and therefore empirical research on, bisexuality." - Fluidity and relating: Accounting for relating practices and sexual identity in a bisexuality discussion group (PDF Download). - Beyond Gay or Straight: Increasing our Choices About Sexual Identity. - Outside the BOX: Bisexuals confuse a society obsessed with categorizing people.

Glazer EM (2010, 2012). Sexual Reorientation. Hofstra Univ. Legal Studies Research Paper No. 10-30. Georgetown Law Journal, 2012. PDF Download. There has been a recent shift in the political and legal treatment of bisexuals. Since Ruth Colker, Naomi Mezey, and Kenji Yoshino began writing about the phenomenon of bisexual erasure and the resulting invisibility of the bisexual from sexual orientation law and the LGBT rights movement, something strange has happened. Bisexuality is suddenly hypervisible. And not just on Glee or in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Or even in the 2010 national sex survey reporting that of 7% of the population identifying as non-heterosexual, 40% of the men and a large majority of the women surveyed identified as bisexual. Bisexuality is now also hypervisible in the law. Recent cases have arisen where plaintiffs have alleged discrimination on the basis of their bisexual orientations and where plaintiffs have been required to prove that they are “gay enough” to merit protection from discrimination. Yet despite this hypervisibility, the law has failed to address the harms that bisexuals face. The problem stems from the law’s current definition of “sexual orientation,” which provides the basis for an actionable discrimination claim. This definition includes only extreme orientations like homosexuality and heterosexuality, but for all practical purposes excludes bisexuality. This Article offers an alternative definition by introducing the distinction between an individual’s General Orientation and Specific Orientation. An individual’s General Orientation is the sex toward which the individual is attracted the majority of the time. An individual’s Specific Orientation is the sex of the individual’s desired or actual partner(s). While for many the two orientations are identical, for bisexuals the two orientations often differ. If adopted, this alternative definition would reorient the concept of sexual orientation under the law. It would offer to the LGBT rights movement, to legislatures, and to courts the opportunity to protect against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation as it is actually lived, rather than on the basis of sexual orientation as the law has until now imagined it to be. It could also offer to antidiscrimination law a model for the protection of living identities, with respect to sexual orientation but also with respect to other identity categories...

Adriaens, Pieter R (2007+). Eros’ ambiguity An philosophical history of male love (Full Text)... Conclusion: In this chapter, I attempted to bring Mary Douglas’ analysis of ambiguity to bear to the history of male love. Douglas’ analysis revealed that whatever does not harmonize with our cherished symbolic structures is doomed to be avoided, minimalized, ignored, or eliminated. Male love proved to be no exception to this rule. Before 1700, bisexuals definitely outnumbered “heterosexuals”. Today, they still outnumber “homosexuals”, and yet they continue to be ignored as a sexual population. In their turn, effeminate homosexuals have been avoided, branded, persecuted and even killed, even though they do hold an important symbolic position in many contemporary societies. Indeed: their ambiguity in fact allows them to act as a symbolic dividing line between man and woman, especially in cultures wherein the differences between both sexes increasingly fade away.

Their ages ranged from 18 to 25, and 14 were female, and 8 were male... Part of the reason young bisexual people believed such secrecy and hiding was necessary was the perception that if they did reveal themselves as bisexual, they would be discriminated against. This discrimination, however, was seen to come also from the gay and lesbian community, in which many of those interviewed spent considerable time."

Working With the Bisexual Client: How Far Have We Progressed? by B. Grant Hayes (Journal of Humanistic Counseling, Education & Development, 40(1): 11-20, 2001: Eric Reference). "After spending years of attempting to deny their same-sex thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, bisexual individuals find self-acceptance a very difficult process (Myers, 1991). If and when this self-acceptance is achieved, acceptance from others is often difficult to realize. The individual may feel exposed and humiliated if family, friends, and coworkers know their orientation. Because of what sociologists call "marginality," bisexual individuals have no group to which they clearly belong (Matteson, 1996). As noted earlier, bisexual individuals receive negative feedback from both homosexual and heterosexual communities... What skills are helpful when working with bisexual clients? ... Individuals will often seek the assistance of a counselor in facing these aforementioned situations. Because the current literature and counselor training programs provide scarce data, counselors must diligently search for reliable information and intervention strategies."  [This paper is a part of a special issue on GLBT issues.

Trabajo presentado en el I Encuentro Argentino de Psicoerapeutas Gays, Lesbianas y Bisexuales, organizado por el Grupo Nexo y realizado en Buenos Aires, en septiembre de 1998.  Full Text. Translation.  El título de este trabajo apunta directamente a uno de los prejuicios más prevalecientes tanto en la población en general como en las/os profesionales de la salud. Ante la "confesión " de bisexualidad, la mayoría de las personas asumen que se trata de alguien que no se atreve a vivir sus impulsos homosexuales o que busca presentarlos de una manera más socialmente aceptable. En la primera parte de este trabajo, analizaremos los supuestos que configuran el modelo imperante de sexualidad y que inciden en esa concepción de la bisexualidad. En la segunda parte, nos abocaremos a las consecuencias prácticas que las diversas percepciones de la bisexualidad pueden tener en la clínica, particularmente cuando se trata de terapeutas gays o lesbianas. El marco referencial de este trabajo, así como nuestra práctica, se funda sobre todo en el feminismo aplicado al ámbito de la salud mental, así como en algunos elementos de la Gestalt.

Herek GM, Norton AT, Allen TJ, Sims CL (2010). Demographic, Psychological, and Social Characteristics of Self-Identified Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Adults in a US Probability Sample. Sexuality Research and Social Policy, 7(3):176-200. Abstract.  PDF Download... Discussion: To begin, the composition of the sample is noteworthy. With design weights applied to account for aspects of the sampling procedures that might have affected respondents’ likelihood of inclusion in the KN panel, fully half of the participants identified as bisexual, indicating that bisexuals constitute a substantial portion of the self-identified sexual-minority population. In addition, gay men outnumbered lesbians at a ratio of approximately 2.4:1. This finding is consistent with data from other national probability samples (Black et al. 2000; Laumann et al. 1994) and suggests that self-identified gay men may outnumber self-identified lesbians in the US adult population. Among self-identified bisexuals, by contrast, the weighted proportions of women and men did not differ significantly. Within genders, the weighted sample included more gay than bisexual men and more bisexual women than lesbians, but the difference was reliable only among the women respondents. Of course, any inferences from these patterns about the composition of the sexual-minority population must be considered tentative until more data are obtained from other probability samples.

Robinson, Margaret (2011). Polyamory and Monogamy as Strategic Identities. Paper presented at the 2011 APA Convention. PDF Download. The emerging concept of relational orientations makes shifts in sexual identity difficult to accommodate and may mask women’s actual sexual practice. Drawing on a qualitative study of 40 bisexual women in Toronto, this paper argues that polyamory and monogamy are strategies by which bisexual women explore their sexuality, rather than cohesive identities or behavioural orientations. Nearly a quarter of the monogamous-identified women reported having previously identified as polyamorous. Among total participants, 12.5% reported shifting between monogamy and polyamory more than once. These shifts enable women to manage and negotiate their visibility as bisexuals. There was a significant disjoint between self-identity and sexual behaviour. The majority of the polyamorous women were not dating multiple partners at the time of the interview, while over a quarter of the monogamous women reported having threesomes in their current relationship. Viewing monogamy and polyamory as strategic identities can help health care practitioners more accurately assess their clients’ needs and risks, within a social determinants of mental health framework.

PDF Download. Download Page. This paper examines the relationship between heterosexuals and bisexuals and their scores on hypersexual and psychopathology measures. Limited research has been done examining bisexuality, and the research that has been done is confounded by grouping bisexuals and homosexuals together, and inconsistencies in defining bisexuality (MacDonald, 1983). The present study examines sexual orientation by sexual behaviors, attractions, identity, fantasies, and an omnibus item. The study consisted of 863 college students. Half of the measures assessed hypersexuality and the other half-assessed psychopathologies. A series of multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) assessed the relationship between sexual orientation, hypersexuality, and psychopathologies. The present study found no differences between male heterosexuals and male bisexuals across any of the measures; however, differences were found between female heterosexuals and female bisexuals.

Women who report having sex with women: British national probability data on prevalence, sexual behaviors, and health outcomes. American Journal of Public Health, 97(6): 1126-33. PDF Download. PubMed Abstract.We used a British probability survey (n=6399 women, aged 16 to 44 years) conducted from 1999 to 2001 with face-to-face interviewing and computer-assisted self-interviewing... We found that 4.9% of the women reported same-sex partner(s) ever; 2.8% reported sex with women in the past 5 years (n=178); 85.0% of these women also reported male partner(s) in this time. Compared with women who reported sex exclusively with men, women who reported sex with women and men reported significantly greater male partner numbers, unsafe sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, and intravenous drug use and had an increased likelihood of induced abortion and sexually transmitted infection diagnoses (age-adjusted odds ratios=3.07 and 4.41, respectively).

Related Paper: Perceived experiences of anti-bisexual prejudice: Instrument development and evaluation (2010). This study described the development and psychometric evaluation of the Anti-Bisexual Experiences Scale (ABES), designed to assess bisexual persons’ perceived experiences of antibisexual prejudice. Items were developed based on prior literature, revised based on expert feedback, and submitted to psychometric evaluation. Exploratory factor analysis of data from 361 bisexual participants yielded 3 factors of perceived anti-bisexual experiences that reflected (a) being treated as if their sexual orientation was unstable or illegitimate, (b) being treated as sexually irresponsible, and (c) being treated with interpersonal hostility. This structure emerged with bisexual persons' reports of anti-bisexual experiences with heterosexual and lesbian and gay persons. Confirmatory factor analysis of data from a second sample of 366 bisexual persons supported the stability of this three factor structure. ABES subscales demonstrated good internal consistency reliability and discriminate validity. Consistent with tenets of the minority stress model, the data also linked ABES scores with anti-bisexual stigma consciousness and psychological symptomatology. Implications for research, practice, and social justice and policy efforts are discussed.

This research project is an investigation into the lives of bisexual men and women who are also Christian. It is a sociological exploration of their identity and the negotiations which they undertake against the backdrop of a religion that sees their sexuality as a choice and fails to fully grasp the complexity of bisexuality, and a society that does not understand their sexuality. Bisexual Christians are an under-researched group, yet researching such a group can speak to sociological understandings of identity, sexuality and religion...

In this mixed methods study, 367 lesbian and 495 bisexual women completed self-report questionnaires that measured: 1) feelings about sexual orientation; 2) degree of openness; 3) quality of life; and 4) biculturalism. Analyses revealed that lesbian women fared better than bisexual women on all measures. A thematic analysis of open-ended questions identified emergent themes that centered on experiences of inclusion (e.g.,, acceptance) and exclusion (e.g., legalized homophobia). The discussion focuses on similarities and differences within and between groups.

Jordal, Christian Edward (2011). “Making it Work”: A Grounded Theory of How Mixed Orientation Married Couples Commit, Sexually Identify, and Gender Themselves. PhD Dissertation, Marriage and Family Therapy program, Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. PDF Download. Download Page. Married bisexuals who come out to their heterosexual partners do not invariably divorce. This qualitative study included 14 intact, mixed orientation married couples. The mean marriage duration was 14.5 years, and the mean time since the bisexual spouse had come out was 7.9 years. The research focused the negotiation processes around three constructs: (a) sexual identity; (b) gender identity; and (c) marital commitment. Dyadic interviews were used to generate a grounded theory of the identity and commitment negotiation processes occurring among intact mixed orientation married couples. The findings revealed two sexual identity trajectories: Bisexuals who identify before marriage and reemerge within marriage; or bisexuals who do not identity before marriage but who emerge from within marriage. Two gender identity processes were reported: gender non-conformity and deliberate gender conformity. Finally, two negotiation processes around marital commitment were found: (a) closed marital commitment, and (b) open marital commitment. Closed marital commitment was defined as monogamous. Open marital commitment had four subtypes: (a) monogamous with the option to open; (b) open on one side (i.e., the bisexual spouse was or had the option to establish a tertiary relationship outside the marriage); (c) open on both sides or polyamorous; and (d) third-person inclusive (i.e.. couples had or were seeking a third person to bring into their marriage for both spouses). The implications for research and clinical practice were discussed.

Corboz J, Dowsett G, Mitchell A, Couch M, Agius P, Pitts M (2008, PDF). Feeling Queer and Blue: A Review of the Literature on Depression and Related Issues among Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Other Homosexually Active People. A Report from the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, La Trobe University. Prepared for beyondblue: The National Depression Initiative. There is a pervasive tendency in the literature to exclude bisexual people or to obscure them by collapsing bisexual samples into gay, lesbian or same-sex-attracted categories. The studies that did explore bisexual people separately from homosexual people consistently showed that bisexuals have higher rates of depression or depressive symptoms than heterosexual people and, further, in some cases are at the same or even higher risk of depression than homosexuals. In an important study that analysed data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health, McNair et al. (2005) found that in a cohort of women aged 22 to 27 years, bisexual women showed consistently poorer mental health outcomes than exclusively heterosexual, bisexual and exclusively/mainly homosexual women on almost all measures. Further, in a cohort of women aged 50 to 55, mainly heterosexual women had the poorest mental health outcomes on all measures when compared with women in any other group. In another Australian study conducted in Canberra, Jorm et al. (2002) sampled both men and women and found that the bisexual group had significantly higher depressive symptom scores than the homosexual group which, in turn, had significantly higher depressive symptoms scores than the heterosexual group (respectively: 3.93 vs. 2.93 vs. 2.62, p < .001). These results are strongly confirmed by the ARCSHS studies. For instance, in the Writing Themselves in Again study (Hillier et al. 2005), young bisexual people were significantly more likely than homosexual respondents to report dissatisfaction with both themselves (23.3 percent vs. 14.5 percent, z = 4.02, p < .001) and their lives (17.2 percent vs. 6.7 percent, z = 6.26, p < .001). Overall, the literature suggests that higher rates of depression in non-heterosexual people may be slightly inflated due to even higher rates of depressive symptoms in bisexuals.   

Bisexuality, Not Homosexuality: Counseling Issues and Treatment Approaches. by Janna L. Horowitz & Michael D. Newcomb (Journal of College Counseling, 2(2): 148-162, 1999). "The most obvious oppression experienced by bisexuals is characterized by the denial of the very existence of bisexual people... the specific role that the counselor can play in the lives of bisexual people has been largely neglected... There is a relative paucity of research on bisexual identity and counseling issues, as compared to notable research in the areas of homosexual identity and counseling issues... Books on gay and lesbian psychology often omit bisexuality completely, as if the bisexual population were invisible or had no relation to gay and lesbian concerns... There is a growing literature that describes bisexuality as a healthy and flexible sexual orientation (Bohan, 1996; Firestein, 1996; Klein, 1993; Rust, 1993). However, little is offered in the way of understanding bisexual identity formation. In a recent book, Psychology and Sexual Orientation (Bohan, 1996), the literature review on bisexual identity relied heavily on a model proposed by Weinberg, Williams, and Pryor (1994). Their bisexual identity model was developed from an extensive study conducted in the San Francisco area. These authors stated that "to our knowledge, no previous model of bisexual identity formation exists" (p. 27). Clearly, the area of bisexual identity formation is in its infancy. For this reason, the existing information on bisexual identity will be presented in some depth." (Janna L.
