10 Books Every Bisexual Should Read

by SarahS

1. The Bisexual’s Guide to the Universe: Quips, Tips, And Lists for Those Who Go Both Ways by Nicole Kristal and Mike Szymanski

2. Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out by Loraine Hutchins and Lani Kaahumanu

3. Bisexuality and Transgenderism: InterSEXions of the Others edited by Nathan Alexander and Karen Yescavage

4. Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World edited by Robin Ochs and Sarah Rowley

5. Bi Lives: Bisexual Women Tell Their Stories by Kata Orndorff

6. Bi Men Coming Out Every Which Way edited by Pete Chvnay and Ron Jackson Suresha

Bi men have their own issues, namely exclusion and derision by Gay men and the utter invisibility of bisexuality in men outside of the pervasive ‘sleazy married guy’. The men in this anthology come to bisexuality from various life paths, some previously identified as straight, some as gay. Some came out as bisexuals at an early age and others are still closeted, even to their closest friends. They talk about bisexuality in the era of AIDS and the intersection with bear culture (the authors previously did a bear anthology). As a bi woman, this book helped me understand the male half of the bi community better.

7. Current Research on Bisexuality by Ronald Fox

8. Bi America: Myths, Truths, And Struggles Of An Invisible Community by William Burleson

9. Bisexual Politics: Theories, Queries, and Visions by Naomi Tucker

10. Eros: A Journey of Multiple Lovers by Serena Anderlini- D’Orofio
