What about bisexuals? We all know some, many of us want some. Now there is finally a guide for the bisexual lifestyle and it is a fun read. I laughed all the way through. And this book is quite a change from existing literature on bisexuality. There has been a lot written on bisexual theory, biphobia, the representation of bisexuals in the world but this is one of the first books to give us bisexuality with a sense of humor. And even better--the book is not just for bisexuals but for everyone. Amidst the humor is insight into the bisexual life style and a lot of facts.There is a wonderful balance between sobriety and humor and what could have been very boring has a life of its own.
You may wonder why a gay guy would want to read a book like this especially when so many gays insist that bisexuality simply does not exist. I am sure that many of us have had relationships with so-called straight people and the fear of being dumped for someone of the opposite sex is always there when dating a person of "the straight persuasion". Kristal and Szymanski help us out by provding us with a contract which limits the staights visits to the opposite sex. Some of the conditions could require the straight boyfriend to make sure that his other partner always have at least one foot on the floor.
There are also interviews with celebrities as well as scientific research such as the section on bisexual animals.
There are great little quizzes also which test just how bisexual a person is. All in all, it is a fun book and deserves a reading.
Entertaining if nothing else... June 12, 2007
This is a funny read and has some good facts and information for both old and new Bisexuals, but the quizzes could have been better or left out completly.
Some of the questions for the quizzes were too broad, since some of us have never been in situations they pertain too.
I did think that they focused more on the sex issues then the mind/soul/community issues, but it was informative nonetheless.
However, I had great fun reading the book and could tell that the authors worked hard to acheive a good balance of sobriety and humor to make it entertaining instead of sterile.
I am actually looking forward to another book by the authors, if they decide to make one!
 Not the greatest,,but better than most. March 20, 2007

I liked the book. It was a fun read and had some very insightful parts. Not to be taken too seriously,,,but for those who are just coming out..a good thing to have in your arsenal.
 Wow, I never thought I'd like this, it's for gay guys too! January 20, 2007

Who'd think that a dyed-in-the-wool gay guy would get so much out of a book called this. It's not a great title, because it limits who's going to pick it up, but geez, it's funny. I laughed out loud a few times and called a few of my friends to read sections of it. It's a humor book, and it has a lot of facts in it too.
Like every gay guy, I've had my share of relatioships with supposedly straight or bi guys who I always think are going to leave me for a girl, and they often do. Well, I wish I had that funny contract at the back of the book about what to fill out for my partners. I love it. Like the section that limits your partner's "other partner" to leaving one foot on the floor at all times, or not leaving a toothbrush over at the house.
I'm most fascinated about the celebs they have talking to them, and also the scientific research, good and bad about bi people. I didn't knw there was so much about it, and so much confusion. I love the animals section, where everything from snails to whales show incidents of going both ways.
Even if you're not promiscuous, or if you're straight, or gay, of if you've ever wondered or wandered the other way, you'll find something enjoyable in this. It's a perfect bathroom book, to pick up and read while sitting there. I've bought three copies for guys who wll at first get offended, but I've marked the pages they should read. Thanks Nicole and Michael for a good laugh.

This is a great read for ANYONE. Don't be intimidated by the title. It's not just for Bisexual folks. It's funny and has some great "tests" to take on sexuality.
