Bi+ book season continues with Dr. Lisa Speidel and her upcoming book, Bisexuality Beyond Binaries: Celebrating Multiple Bisexual Identities in a World of Erasure. Dr. Speidel also published with Routledge and is a big part of the reason why I was able to publish Bisexual Married Men  there -- she reviewed and recommended my proposal! We connected a year later when she interviewed me for her book, which includes writing and interviews from a diverse spectrum of Bi+ people. Please note: her...

Welcome back to Bi+ book season! We're picking up right where we left off, interviewing 4 more Bi+ authors about their new bisexual-themed books, and this week I'm so excited to reunite with J.R.

It's the final interview (for real!) in this series on Bi+ married men. But first -- I'm starting a coaching practice!

For the first 20 minutes of this episode, I give an overview of my new practice, what coaching is and isn't, how I can help you create awareness and meaningful change, and how to sign up...

For this episode I was so excited to welcome back season 4 guest Benjamin Perry, a Minister at Middle Church in NYC, to discuss his new book, "Cry, Baby: Why Our Tears Matter"! I loved Ben's book, and we had a fascinating chat about crying and how it relates to queerness and queer liberation. We discussed Ben's realization that he hadn't cried in years and had to teach himself how again (and how this was related to coming out as bisexual), the science of tears and the latest research on...

Bi+ people tend to look at gender differently than most, and many of us are working toward more gender equality, especially in romantic partnerships. That's why this week I'm excited to share my interview with Dr. Kate Mangino, a gender expert whose debut book, "Equal Partners: Improving Gender Equality at Home", looks at gender imbalances in our personal lives and what we can do about it. We chatted about the current landscape of domestic equality, how couples often split physical and...

Vaneet is back, and since his last visit to Two Bi Guys, he wrote his first book, "Bisexual Men Exist: A Handbook for Bisexual, Pansexual and M-Spec Men" -- available now wherever books are sold! We chatted about the process of researching, writing, and promoting his book before diving into its contents: Bi+ representation in media, coming out, dating and relationships, M-Spec intersectionality, what "M-Spec" means and why Vaneet wanted to use an "agnostic" term like that in his book's title,...

I finally got to interview Jessica Fern, author of one of my favorite books, "Polysecure"! I've been reading and re-reading this book for a couple years now, and it has helped me enormously in navigating polyamory and understanding how my own attachment style might affect various partnerships. In this interview, we discussed Jessica's bi identity and poly journey, why the intersection between polyamory and attachment theory is so important, the SPECTRUM of attachment styles (rather than four...

Welcome to Season 6 of Two Bi Guys! Our premiere episode features Zachary Zane, back for his second Two Bi Guys interview, and we discussed his awesome new "memoir and manifesto", BOYSLUT. We chatted about sexual shame, the relationship between porn and queerness, kinks, fetishes, dom/sub dynamics, Zach's book tour and the surprising "controversies" that have popped up, the joys of anal stimulation -- when done correctly (and how to do that), why it can be beneficial to come out if you're...

Happy season 5 finale! We finally got to chat with Maz Hedgehog (they/them), a UK-based bisexual writer, poet, and performer working in the spaces between real and unreal, poetry and theatre, self and other. We chatted about Maz's bisexual journey, how they realized they were agender and what that means for them, why Maz identifies as a "bisexual dyke" (like Shiri Eisner!), and how their gender and sexuality inform their artistic work, like their recent solo show, "Let Me Count the Ways". We...

This week we're talking bisexual play parties with the founder and "Chief Conspirator" of the New Society For Wellness (aka NSFW), Daniel Saynt! We chatted about Daniel's early awareness of his bisexuality, keeping it hidden throughout his conservative religious upbringing, and how entering the world of fashion both exposed him to more sexual fluidity but also convinced him that more openness and transparency was needed. We then focused on the club he founded, NSFW, and how & why it's...

We're all aware of the unfortunate statistics showing that the bisexual community receives a tiny minority of LGBT+ charity resources despite making up a majority of the community itself. But how does that play out and what does it actually mean for Bi+ people? We chatted about that and more with Dominic Arnall, CEO of "Just Like Us" (an LGBT+ young people's charity) and the only out bisexual man running a queer charity in the UK. He explained what happens when the "B" is neglected in the...
