Episode notes

The acceptance and free expression of our sexuality is so good for us as individuals, good for society. The take away should be not that it's horrible to be by, but that there's lots to be done on a social level to make being by better. And ultimately, i love being by. If you ask them about their bisexuality, if you ask them what their favorite thing is, they say, freedom. Being by is a beautiful thing.

Bisexuality is the largest sexual minority in the world – but according to psychologist Dr Julia Shaw, it’s the least well understood. She talks to Madeleine Finlay about her new book, Bi, which challenges us to think more deeply about who we are and how we love. She discusses the history of trying to define and measure bisexuality, sexual behaviour in the animal kingdom, and how we can improve health outcomes for bi people..
