Bisexuality Awareness: Myths, Coming Out and How to Be an Ally

September 24, 2015

“If we tell you we’re bi, believe us and accept that we understand our own identity. …being willing to listen and accept what we say about our own identity is one of the biggest things that you can do to be an ally.” – Emmie Mears

August interviews Emmie Mears, author of Storm in a Teacup and The Masked Songbird, on her experience as a bisexual woman. Learn common myths about bisexuality, how the orientation affects health, sex and relationships, how it varies from fluid sexuality and more. Then Dr. Megan Fleming responds to a listener, who asks: how can she date a bisexual man without fearing she won’t fulfill his needs and desires?

    This was quite interesting, August. I think I’m grown up and “know everything”. But there’s so much to learn. Thanks for another interesting show.

    And yet another favorite GB episode–I am not sure there are any that are not.

    This episode is such an in-depth discussion of bi-sexuality. In particular, I enjoyed the discussion around the idea of the “other,” in any relationship, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Dr. Megan provides an excellent description of what the “other” means to any relationship, and Emmie does such a fine job of talking about the “other” and communication with partners.

    So, there is this thoughtful discussion of bisexuality with a leitmotif of what it means to be in any relationship, in particular the importance of identity.

    Great job, everyone.
