What do you think of when you think bisexuality? Promiscuous behavior? Polyamory? Lying, cheating spouses? Midlife crises? Burning Man? Or maybe you think of…nothing: perhaps the biggest misconception is that middle-of-the-spectrum sexual orientation doesn’t really exist. Au contraire, I believe that we’re ALL a little gay - some of us have just chosen, or found the freedom, to explore it.After my own on-the-record confessions, our (VERY NSFW!) anonymous contributors recount discovering their sexuality in a myriad of ways, like hooking up with their staff, rendezvous with strangers from Grindr, or deep in the trenches of Berlin nightlife. We also hear tidbits about the LA orthodox Jewish gay community (!) and Skirt Club, a now-infamous, all-female sex party specifically for bicurious women around the globe. But bisexuality doesn’t mean hypersexuality: for every story involving polyamory or threesomes, there’s one about choosing the comfort of a committed heterosexual relationship and wondering if it’ll be stifling in the long run.While some contributors deeply wish for acceptance from the LGBTQ community, others don’t feel the need to ‘prove themselves’. What they can all agree upon, however, is that bi-erasure and judgment - and a subsequent lack of identity - is real. As one of you so aptly said: “Hell is other people. Not because they inherently suck, but because their judgments rule how we act.”Please support the show by leaving a rating & review on iTunes/Spotify (it’s free!) or buying merch (available for purchase on my Instagram, via DM).
