B is for BISEXUALITY: Identity, Expressions, Myths & Realities

Let's Talk Polyamory Podcast

21-01-2025 • 56 mins

What does being BISEXUAL mean to you? Is it simply about who you're attracted to, or does it extend to your identity, expressions, and how you move through the world? Are you proudly out or navigating life in the closet?

In this episode, B is for BISEXUALITY: Identity, Expressions Myths & Realities, we explore bisexuality in all its rich and wonderful dimensions. We unpack what it means to identify as bisexual, debunk common myths, and dive into the stats behind this often-misunderstood identity. We also explain other related identities and expressions  including fluid, omnisexual, pansexual, queer, bigender, and androgynous.

We examine how bisexual people are sometimes perceived by stereotypes - like the “tourist” trope or the idea that bisexuality is “just a phase”—and highlight research (like a study from Cornell University) that challenges those narratives.

We confront invisibility, erasure, and biphobia, exploring the ways these challenges shape the lives of bi folks.

Of course, it wouldn’t be one of our episodes without a few detours! Along the way, we also chat about squirting, the G-area (aka the G-spot), P-spot stimulation, orgasms, and pleasure.

This is one of our most personal, revealing episodes yet—full of insights, humour, and plenty of thought-provoking moments. Don’t miss it!

This is part of our T&A Alphabet Series, originally broadcast as live trainings in our Let’s Talk Polyamory private Facebook Community and on YouTube. The series covers a wide range of topics related to non-monogamy, relationships, identity, and sexuality, and we are thrilled to share it with our podcast audience throughout Season 2 and beyond.

COMING IN 2025: Many of the terms and insights from this series will feature in our T&A Picture Book, a visual and accessible guide to navigating non-monogamy, relationships, and identity. Join the waitlist to be the first to know when it’s available!
