New "Bisexuality Isn't A Myth" Study Insults Bisexuals

By The Daily Beast. Posted on Aug 23rd 2011.

Study confirms bisexuality exists, reversing a 2005 study with opposite results.

A new Northwestern University study has found evidence to support the existence of bisexual men, a sharp contrast to a 2005 study from the same university that reported opposite results. For the new study, scientists recruited men directly from websites catering to bisexuals and required that each participant have had sexual experiences with at least two people from each sex. Participants watched videos of male and female same-sex intimacy, and genital sensors monitored erectile responses. The study found that bisexual men actually responded to both scenarios, while the previous study found that bisexual men and gay men had very similar responses. The chairman of the Bisexual Organizing Project said, "It's great that they've come out with affirmation that bisexuality exists. Having said that, they're proving what we in the community already know. It's insulting." Read more details on The New York Times: No Surprise For Bisexual Men: Report Indicates They Exist
