Two Bi Guys

Three Bi Guys, With Wives! (Season Finale)


Listen Later

In our season two finale, Two Bi Guys presents: Three Bi (Married) Guys!

The experience of bisexual people in straight-appearing marriages is one of the most prevalent and yet still invisible among the queer community. Bi+ men are even less likely to be out than women, sometimes keeping the secret from their wives. In this extended episode, Rob interviews three Bi+ men who are (or have been) married to women, plus one of their wives (who is also bisexual), about the challenges and joys of this unique experience. We'll meet Austin from Ohio, who grew up in a conservative Mennonite culture that repressed his same-sex attractions for years; Rene from Chicago, a first-generation Mexican-American bi guy who had a perfect "Disney family" before coming out to his wife; and Howard and Elizabeth from New York, who skipped a few steps by meeting at a bisexual play party and continue to practice ethical non-monogamy.

We discussed how they all came to understand their bisexuality, why and how the men came out to their wives (or future-wives), how their wives dealt with the news and how the relationship moved forward (or didn't), why and how some of them stuck with monogamy while others negotiated opening things up, the importance of queer community within and outside the marriage, biphobia and bi-erasure from friends and family, how their identity affected their kids, and the many other aspects of marriage that intersect with a fluid sexuality.

If you're a bi married guy and are interested in sharing your story anonymously for Rob's ongoing oral history project, please send a message to @TwoBiGuys on Twitter or Instagram with a little bit of your background and story -- but keep in mind that not everyone can be included.

Two Bi Guys will be back for a third season after a summer hiatus! We're planning on bringing in some guest hosts so you can hear from a wider variety of Bi+ and non-binary voices, and we may tweak the format to help get more content out faster, so stay tuned. We are also developing ways to grow this project and develop a community for Bi+ men and all bisexual people -- subscribe and follow us on social media to get updates on all our plans. Thanks for listening to this season of Two Bi Guys!
