Bisexual Married Men

Stories of Relationships, Acceptance, and Authenticity

By: Robert Cohen

Narrated by: Daniel Henning

How much do you know about the lives of bisexual men who are married to women? Bisexual people make up a majority of the LGBT+ community, but they are still relatively hidden and misunderstood. Robert Brooks Cohen aims to address this invisibility by sharing a collection of interviews with Bi+ men who are or were married to women, helping listeners find connection, understanding, and community.

Their experience is often erased as "not queer enough," but these men are queer, and they are challenging societal norms in important and innovative ways. Written by the host of Two Bi Guys, this book intersperses Robert's bisexual journey with the diverse stories of other Bi+ men to help normalize sexual fluidity and create more awareness and compassion. This book shares interviews with men and a few of their wives from a wide array of cultural and regional backgrounds, religious family structures, and more, helping bisexual men find pride, validation, and joy in their sexual identity.

This book is written about and for bisexual and questioning men so they can see their experience represented. However, it is also for their partners, family, and friends—as well as students, researchers, clinicians with bisexual clients, and allies—so that they can better understand the unique challenges of this identity and provide meaningful support.

Finally a book that helps me communicate some of my experience to others. It reminded me that I am not alone.

Some voices seemed a bit stereotypical including guys in stories who are African American. Otherwise a good listen and useful resource.

Good to hear different views without a clinical perspective

Honestly, I thought this was a nice break from the more clinical viewpoint. However, I completely disliked the couple in chapter 17. It was disappointing that the only people who were closer to my own age ended up being sounding so patriarchal and toxic.

Very informative

I have been listening to several books on this general topic, and this is my favorite one. I really enjoyed all the different perspectives and experiences.

Helped me understand myself

This is a great collection of stories with an author that pulls the stories together. Each person’s experience was different from mine and yet I saw myself in each story. This book gave me language to better understand myself. Highly recommend it for anyone with a bisexual man in their life.

The author shows his racism

I enjoyed the book very much, but I have to be honest. Every once in a while, the author made racist comments, which I found unacceptable.
