In this episode, Lulu and Laura discuss definitions of bisexuality, common misconceptions, and FAQs.  We’ll go over definitions for bisexuality, pansexuality, polysexuality, and omnisexuality.  We plan to go into some more detail about each of these orientations in future episodes, but we’ve got to first build a foundation of the basics.  If you like what you hear, we’d love it if you could rate, review, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
