This is a study of bisexuality as an erotic, social and cultural phenomenon, which sets out to challenge preconceptions about love, sex, gender and identity. The idea of bi-sex intrigues, titillates and provokes. It unnerves men and women, straight and gay alike. Is bisexuality a third choice between hetero- or homo-sexuality? Or is it something that questions the very concept of sexual identity itself? This book explores these questions. It examines such topics as schoolgirl (and boy) crushes, sexual threesomes, the possibility of a bisexual gene and the compatibiltiy of bisexuality and marriage, via classical myth, biology, literature, psychoanalysis, film and music.
