Bisexuality Beyond Binaries Celebrating Multiple Bisexual Identities in a World of Erasure

"This book goes beyond the many primers and explainers of bisexuality and gets to the fascinating nuances, challenges, and joys that Bi+ people experience beyond just fluid attractions. Diving into next-level topics like non-monogamy, kink, sex work, disability, and aging, Dr. Lisa Speidel clearly and expertly lays out the complexity and diversity of the Bi+ community before turning it over in each chapter to the community itself. Hearing from these voices directly was engaging and invaluable, and paired with Dr. Speidel's analysis, this is the most layered and insightful work on bisexuality that I've ever read - and I've read a lot!"

Robert Cohen, host of the podcast Two Bi Guys and author of Bisexual Married Men: Stories of Relationships, Acceptance and Authenticity

"This book offers personal testimony and solutions from those most impacted, which is always a welcome addition to conversations and learning about sexuality topics. To be guided by those most impacted is one of the paths to liberation for all of us! Join the community members who are envisioning a world where radical healing love is the path that will set us free."

Bianca Laureano, author of The People's Book of Human Sexuality: Expanding the Sexology Archive

"Grateful that the bisexual diaspora's emergence since the turn of the century is shown so well. This collection highlights how the global majority and gender-divergent people are most disproportionately hurt. Resistance is fertile. Bi passion eternal."

Loraine Hutchins, co-editor Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out, co-founder - BiNet USA

"This book is a must read for anyone in the field of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies interested in how bisexuality is lived in everyday life. Speidel uses compelling personal stories to convey the pleasure and pain of inhabiting a sexuality that is largely marginalized and misunderstood in the contemporary world. Deeply rooted in intersectionality, the book spans crucial topics and addresses the relationships between bisexuality and: history, religion, media representation, race, gender, age, disability, and so much more. Since Speidel has a unique way of making theory accessible and complex ideas relatable, this book is perfect for undergraduate classes and lay readers alike!"
