Customer Reviews

The first and foremost

This book is the first to really explore bisexuality as a real, substantial idea. It is the best book out there to help someone figure themselves out. It's pages are thick with truly objective, unbiased information, and it can be very liberating to read. It is a must read for anyone who feels they don't quite fit quite at either end of the sexual spectrum.

Great starter

This is the very first book I ever read on bisexuality. Since then I've found better books on the subject, but this is still a book I'll put my nose into again. The reason it's not the "best" is because I didn't relate to most of the bisexuals Klein interviewed. It was kind of a downer, some of the uptite bis in this book. Then again, he didn't interview very many people. Especially compared to "Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out". Now that is a book where I related to many more of the people. Just goes to show we (bis) are all different. I will always have a lot of respect for Fritz Klein and found his scale on bisexuality very good. Although I don't agree who we prefer to socialize with has anything to do with orientation. I could enjoy a cup of coffee with anyone, that says zilch about orientation! Other than that, I liked the scale. This is an interesting read, for the most part.

An engaging exploration of human sexuality

This well-written book is a must-read for anyone struggling, as I have, with bisexuality. It is hopeful, insightful, and very liberating. Dr. Klein presents an engaging balance of theory, research, and case examples. This is a very real and honest presentation of bisexuality.

A great resource for discovering sexual identity.

I liked this book. I found it to be very affirming of my experience. It offers a balanced approach to exploring your sexual identity. I am married and have struggled with my attractions to men. This book shows that there are options for persons attracted to both sexes. It's not black and white. There is a HUGE middle and bisexuality encompasses it. I am bisexual and I feel much freer to make choices out of truth, than feeling like I 'have to be gay' or I'm 'in transition' because I enjoy my attractions to both sexes. The personal stories in the book are a great source of hope and guidance. Well done!
