Explore the theoretical, political, psychological, and cultural
issues surrounding male bisexuality Bisexuality in the Lives of Men
is the first anthology to focus on men who love both men and women.
The theoretical, scientific, and literary essays in this landmark
volume dispel the fictions that bisexual men are greedy,
promiscuous, confused, deceptive, unfaithful, HIV-positive--the
dominant images of bisexual men in our culture. Whether portrayed
as a coward who can't quite come out into full gayness or a
smooth-talking serial killer, the bisexual man has been vilified in
books and movies. In scholarly studies, they are often ignored or
else lumped together with gay men. It is now widely acknowledged
that human sexuality is more complex and diverse than the narrow
categories "gay" and "straight." But, while the use of the term
"bisexual" has become much more common in the last decade, an
understanding of bisexuality itself lags far behind. A lack of
research on how bisexuality is experienced, interpreted, and
encoded in literature, film, and other aspects of popular culture
means that stereotypes, stigma, and confusion are still prevalent.
Bisexuality in the Lives of Men is a multidisciplinary examination
of this neglected topic, bringing together expertise reflecting
divergent approaches and fields to show the whole bisexual man.
Topics include: a thoughtful review and analysis of the public
health research on the role of bisexual men in HIV transmission a
study of the marital consequences of a husband's bisexuality,
including couples who have stayed together an analysis of the
heartfelt discussions taking place in an online bi-male community
an empirical study of the ways that bi-negativity differs from
homophobia an essay bringing together queer theory and social
constructionist ideas to explain why bisexual men are much less
visible than bisexual womenThe rigorously analytical yet accessible
essays in this volume offer new information and perspectives about
male bisexuality. Bisexuality in the Lives of Men is an essential
resource for anyone interested in the theoretical, political, and
cultural issues of male bisexuality.
