Bi Men on
the Net
| Interesting
results from recent online polls completed by men. Many
gay men believe that all the men they have sex with are
gay. But there
is more than meets the eye about men who have sex with
men than most people might think.
The
Internet has become a very effective tool for bi men
to communicate and to
meet one another. We'll look at some recent online poll
results, and use them to deconstruct and destroy the
myth of the non-existent bi man. |
