Abstract
Reprinted from The Gay & Lesbian Review/Worldwide, July–August 2005, this article examines bisexuality primarily in terms of Alfred Kinsey's sex research. Changing cultural and clinical definitions of bisexuality stand in stark contrast with the reality of bisexuals' lived experience. Bisexuality, despite its prevalence as reported in the Kinsey Report, is an existence that does not necessarily include bisexual identity. Obstacles to conducting accurate research on bisexuality include lack of a clear standard of bisexuality, a disconnect between bisexual behavior and identity, and underfunding of research.
