How can you tell if your husband is bisexual
"Ismyhusband gay?" is a interrogate women ask me on a regular basis. This question comes from having either found gay porn on the computer or discovered that he has hooked up with other men.
You would ponder that the answer is as simple as most people believe, which is that if a bloke has sex with another man, then he is gay or bisexual, period.
I'm writing a series of blog posts to challenge this notion that simply because a dude has sexual contact with another man, he must be gay or bi. This is the first post in the series.
When I try to possess meaningful conversations with people about this issue and say that the react is not so easy, many people don't receive any other possibility. Just because a man has sexual interest in, or engages in sexual exercise with, another man doesn't automatically mean he is gay or bisexual.
I hope I could answer this question with one transparent answer. I have joked that I would be a wealthy man if I could. But I can't, and this is no laughing matter. In fact, around the earth it's a growing affect for women who accidentally come across evidence that their male partner is engaging in sexual fantasy about and/or behavior with other men.

Is My Husband Gay, Direct, or Bi?
— Dr. Tammy Nelson
For decades, husbands and wives have faced the social tendency to shame, fear, and denounce husbands who have sex with men. Kort and Morgans book offers a compassionate and understanding view that is grounded in science and clinical exercise, rather than fear. Their book offers a surprising and pleasing depth to the understanding of this phenomenon and does not treat it in simplistic, black and white ways. Is My Husband Male lover, Strai
I think my boyfriend is bisexual, but he says he isn't. How can I find out?
I recently learned that my lover of five years previously received oral sex from a man twice. I've also caught him watching gay porn on multiple occasions.
These instances lead me to believe he's bi. But whenever I inquire him about his sexuality, he always claims not to be bisexual.
I'm wondering if, despite his insistence, he really is double attraction, or maybe he's queer. How can I discover out?

Dear Georgia,
It's normal to want to label people as a way to make sense of how they fit into the world, but that doesn't mean it's always necessary or productive.
The way I see it, your situation is one of those cases.
You see, sexuality is a complicated principle. Our society has get more tolerant of people who aren't straight, but there's still much confusion, and unfair stereotyping, about people who don't desire to define their sexuality or are still questioning it.
As New York City-based therapist Rachel Wright previously told me, the types of erotica and physical acts a person finds sexually pleasurable are unrelated to their sexuality. People may assume they're akin,
My longtime friend and colleague Dr. Joe Kort has been treating and writing about gender and sexual orientation issues for nearly three decades. In his Royal Oaks, Michigan, train, Joe specializes in Queer Affirmative Psychotherapy and IMAGO Relationship Therapy, often treating men who are questioning their sexual orientation. This population is the emphasis of his new and much-needed book: Is My Husband Gay, Straight, or Bi? A Guide for Women Concerned About Their Men. I am pleased that Joe has written this book, as I have had to deal with these questions in my own practice relatively often, as have many other therapists. I recently spoke with Joe about the book, and I wanted to share a few of his thoughts below.
What prompted you to write this book?
There are two main reasons. Number one is the upper incidence of male-female couples entering my office because the woman thinks her man might be homosexual. More often than not, he’s not gay or even bi. He’s actually straight, but for whatever reason, he’s been looking at gay porn or he’s been having sex with men.
Number two is that I wanted to write this book for the men themselves because they’re usually very muddled. A lot of t
