Aims and Perspectives on Bisexuality
00:00:07
Speaker
may not have met or heard much from an openly bisexual man, let alone two of them at once, because bi men are still pretty invisible, but we want to help change that. That's why we're starting this podcast about fluid sexuality and gender from a bi male perspective.
Alex's Journey to Bisexuality
00:00:22
Speaker
So here's the quick spiel. I'm 34. I identified as straight and only dated women for most of my life until about five years ago, when I began exploring with men and reevaluating my sexuality. And about two years ago, I began the long process of coming out as bisexual.
Rob's Realization and Coming Out Again
00:00:38
Speaker
26 and I identified as gay from high school through college and then realized I'd put myself in a box that kept me from seeing my attractions to women and non-binary folks. I realized very quickly that I was bi and came out all over again. So while Alex and I both identify as bi, we have extremely different experiences in some ways. So we hope to learn from each other and from other guests and from all of you.
Questioning Gender Roles Through Sexuality
00:01:01
Speaker
while we're both comfortable identifying as cis men, conversations about our sexuality have led us to question what role our gender plays in our lives.
00:01:08
Speaker
In many ways, gender doesn't matter to us that much at all anymore. We realize it doesn't have to mean all the things our society tells us it means, and it no longer defines the types of relationships we can have.
Exploring Fluidity and Challenging Binaries
00:01:20
Speaker
So on this podcast, we're gonna break down that binary. We're gonna talk about fluidity and about the vast array of ways we experience sexuality and gender. We're gonna talk about the constraints of masculinity and femininity, and the shame and pleasure that comes with exploring outside the box that society puts you
Understanding Bisexual Labels
00:01:36
Speaker
As two bi men, we're going to talk about all the labels that can fit in that umbrella, from pan to fluid to queer, mostly straight, curious, questioning, hetero flexible, asexual, demisexual, polyamorous. And we're going to
Diverse Guest Interviews on Intersectionality
00:01:50
Speaker
interview guests with diverse backgrounds and experiences and talk about the intersectionality of race, gender and sexual orientation. And we're also going to talk about sex.
Increasing Visibility and Representation
00:01:59
Speaker
Lots of sex. The down and dirty and the intimate and romantic.
00:02:03
Speaker
And especially the kind of sex that many people don't think really exists, such as sex between straight men. How can men have sex with other men and identify as straight, you might ask. I might ask that, but we'll talk about that. The world really needs more by visibility, by representation, and by pride. And while being bi has a ton of challenges, it's actually really awesome and cool
