About this title

Review:

The writing is sensible and unspecialised. Dual Attraction contributes substantially to the current tendency to assert the credibility of bisexuality. (Gay Times)

Surveying authoritatively for the first time a significant variation of human erotic life (bisexuality)

In San Francisco before and after AIDS, homo-, hetero-, and bisexual voices add their own words to a socioethnographic explanation of sexual preference. A treasure trove of primary data from an intrepid urban fieldwork study. (John Money, author of Gay, Straight & In-Between: The Sociology of Erotic Orientation)

Examines the interaction of sexual behaviors and social identities as well as the emotional dimensions of sexual preference. Such a focus locates sex in a web of intimate relationships, which permits the uncovering of how people's sexual preferences change. (Feminist Collections)
