Bi Guys...Where Are They, and What Are They Doing?

You know what? I just realized the other day that I don’t know any bisexual men. I’ve never talked to any bisexual men online or offline. I know that they have to be out there. I’ve seen forums and clubs for bisexual men. But I’ve never seen one in the flesh. They’re like gryphons…you think they exist, someone knows a woman who has a brother who works with a guy that has seen one, but you’ve never seen one, so you’re inclined to doubt their existence. Are they living as straight guys? Gay guys? Just hiding from me?

We all know bisexual women are everywhere. (Evidently, having a reputation for loving threesomes and being entirely without morals means you get lots of internet space.) But where are the bi guys?

I was inspired to do a search (Ok, I did it on a bet, one of my friends is convinced that the only thing I’ll find is porn. One large pizza says I can prove her wrong).

Well, here’s one bi guy…Michael Szymanski, who writes a column about bisexuality at PlanetOut (http://www.planetout.com/pno/people/colu...

Although he’s gay, Christopher Rice http://content.gay.com/channels/arts/chr... (the son of vamp-loving Anne Rice http://www.annerice.com) has written his first book, which is rumoured to be as gay/bi friendly as his mother’s literature (that’s where the bi men are! They’re all sexy vampires!)

The yahoo group, “Bisexual” http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Bisexual is for both bisexual men and women. However, with over 1300 members, I’m guessing that some of them have to be men.

Temenos http://temenos.community.everyone.net/co... has a fairly active bisexual community—try not to choke on the ads as you’re reading the messages. Back to that, “If it’s a bisexual community, I MUST post an ad for a threesome!” theory, I guess.

The Bisexual Married Men of America http://www.safersex.org/bmma/ is an email list for bi married men. Very nice site, addressing some of the discrimination bisexuals get from homosexuals and heterosexuals.

BiGi http://www.polychromatic.com/bigi/ (pronounced BiGuy) is “a mailing list for discussions and community-building between bisexual men.”

Jennifer’s Bisexuality homepage http://www.uncharted-worlds.org/bi/bipol... tackles a few key issues, such as monosexism, “which assumes that all people are attracted to only one sex… bisexuality is simply erased by monosexist assumptions. Someone in a same-sex relationship is assumed to be lesbian or gay; someone in an other-sex relationship is assumed to be heterosexual. You can't come out as bi by simply being seen with any particular partner: you will virtually always be assumed to be either straight or gay, depending on the gender of the person you're seen with, unless you say otherwise.”
