    • What’s it like to come out as bi after identifying as gay?
    • How do you express your attraction to other genders in a monogamous relationship?


    Whether you're questioning, out and proud, or just curious, this episode covers a wide range of topics, from personal insights to practical advice. Plus, we explore how bisexuality intersects with masculinity, relationships, and the different ways people can experience attraction.


    If you’ve ever felt caught between labels or struggled with how to stay true to your identity, this episode is for you.

  • Where Are All the Bi Men?
    Nov 4 2024

    In Episode 10, we take on a question that’s been floating around for ages: “Where are all the bi men?”


    We dive deep into the unique challenges that bi men face, from societal expectations to internalised fears. We’re talking about everything—how masculinity and patriarchal norms have shaped our understanding of bisexuality, the stigma within both queer and straight communities, and the mental health impacts of staying closeted.


    You’ll hear personal stories, the ups and downs of being out, and some heartfelt advice for anyone struggling to accept their own bi identity. We also celebrate our recent partnership with Star Observer! This episode has something for everyone, whether you're out, questioning, or just curious.
