Bisexual Research

George Mason University releases showing that bisexual women suffer more from health risk factors than males. Researcher Lisa Lindley is looking for the reasons behind this disparity. “Bisexuals are often invisible,” she says. “There’s a lot of prejudice against them. They’re told ‘You’re confused — pick one.’ There tends to be this expectation or standard that a person picks one sexual identity and sticks with it. I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding about bisexuals. I think their risk has a lot more to do with stigma.”

Northwestern University researchers released findings in 2011 that updates and contradicts earlier research that suggested that bisexual men couldn't be sexually aroused by more than one sex. The new research made a more concerted effort to recruit men who identified strongly as bisexual and had been in relationships with men and women. led the media frenzy created by the new findings. Though obviously pleased that the information was positive this time, the Bisexual Resource Center and others in the community already feel very confident that bisexual men exist. This has some great reactions from bi-identified students on their campus.
