Did you ever consider doing something similar to "The Cross in the Closet" for bisexuality? In my experience, both straight and gay people can be very uncomfortable with the idea, and it would be interesting to hear about a straight person's (especially man's- there are very few out bisexual men) observations on it.

I would imagine that the first one would leave you averse to a second, anyway.

It would definitely be interesting to get a group of people to do what you did for other groups (bisexual, transgender) and compare experiences, especially if some were members of one of the groups in question.

I found the section I was thinking of primarily in a wiki page, although I couldn't find much using Google Scholar (mostly articles which dealt with the methodology of the experiments/surveys, not the actual experiments themselves). Unfortunately I can't find anything on bisexuality specifically, because it's not studied very much (usually lumped in with homosexuality).

It actually isn't proven to be genetic, last I checked the best hypothesis (that at least fits more observations) is that it's due to hormone imbalance during development (which also explains bisexuality).

A little late (actually really late), but what do you think of computers? I'm personally really into computer science and computer engineering, it's fascinating, but from your perspective, they've got to be so much more amazing and practically magical.
