Dual Attraction: Understanding Bisexuality

by Douglas W. Pryor, Martin S. Weinberg, Colin J. Williams

Book Overview

For the past two generations, extensive research has been conducted on the determinants of homosexuality. But, until now, scant attention has been paid to what is perhaps the most mysterious--and potentially illuminating--variation of human sexual expression, bisexuality. Today, as ignorance and fear of AIDS makes greater awareness of all forms of sexual behavior an urgent matter of private and public consequence, leading sex researchers Martin Weinberg,...

Customer Reviews

Incredibly thoughtful

Overall, this `study', is an incredibly thoughtful work. This is much more detailed look at human sexuality, with all of its variations, feelings, and ranges than even Kinsey was able to offer. It was well thought out work, by a group of well-educated, caring people. This book is really an affirmation that Love is different but unifying for us all.

so far so good...

i read 2 sections so far and am impressed with the research, presentation and conclusion. what i've read was educationally confirming of bisexuals and bisexuality. i highly recommend it. i am a self-identified bisexual and have neither considered myself out or actively coming out: i feel there is no need. i am who i am and am confident of my sexuality. if i choose to disclose my bisexuality, i will. it's my business and i share with those who care about me. i know my outlook on it may not be the same as everyone, and some may not feel supportive by others to come out. i feel i am lucky to have this "open sex schema." it is true that i look for the person, not the gender nor the sexual preference, which take the backseat. i hope those who have "always felt it inside" will find a way to accept it within themselves and by others in a healthy way. being bisexual is like being a diplomat, bridging the gap for the plethora of sexual preferences and behaviors in people. one new thing i've learn from this book is that i have a better understand of what a transsexual person goes through and has to live with. my heart goes out the you. i wish you find relationship happiness and sexual fulfillment.

Bisexuality at Its Best!

This is, without a doubt, the BEST work I've ever seen on bisexuality. Kudos to Weinberg, Williams, and Pryor. Finally ... someone who understands.

A book that gave me a new point of view about sex...

This book gives a chance to accept a person for the person itself, and I see this as a better way to see and joy sexual and romantical live. Every man once in a while thinks as a bisexual...and if he takes some courage may cross the fear barrier...with the correct person...that may be as long as next door...boy

Just the facts!

This book takes away the mystery and delivers the facts of bisexuality. Finally, someone stood up and wrote a book that is actually accurate to bisexuality!
