How much do you know about the lives of bisexual men who are married
to women? Do you know any personally? Have you seen them represented
in the media or pop culture? Bisexual people make up a majority of the
LGBT+ community, but they are still relatively hidden and
misunderstood. Robert Brooks Cohen aims to address this invisibility
by sharing a collection of interviews with Bi+ men who are or were
married to women, helping readers find connection, understanding, and
community. Their experience is often erased as "not queer enough", but
these men are queer, and they are challenging societal norms in
important and innovative ways. Written by the host of 'Two Bi Guys',
this book intersperses Robert's bisexual journey with the diverse
stories of other Bi+ men to help normalize sexual fluidity and create
more awareness and compassion. Each chapter is framed around a
bisexual married man's story which touches on an important theme in
many people's journey, such as coming out, monogamy,
intersectionality, porn, marriage, parenting, and finding community,
with Robert sharing his thoughts, research, and analysis. This book
shares interviews with men and a few of their wives from a wide array
of cultural and regional backgrounds, religious family structures, and
more, helping bisexual men find pride, validation, and joy in their
sexual identity. This book is written about and for bisexual and
questioning men so they can see their experience represented. However,
it is also for their partners, family, and friends - as well as
students, researchers, clinicians with bisexual clients, and allies -
so that they can better understand the unique challenges of this
identity and provide meaningful support.
