In her new book - Look Both Ways: Bisexual Politics - one of our favorite writers and activists, Jennifer Baumgardner makes a convincing case for bisexuality to finally come out of the closet. Using her own experiences as a guide, Baumgardner refreshening looks at female bisexuality, not as a by product of pleasing men that usually accompanies the term, nor as a means to an end, but as a legitimate and important evolution in women's feminist consciousness and sexual freedom. In the book, Baumgardner gives bisexuality its long overdue place at the sexual orientation table.

As we write in the "Straight as a ruler?" chapter of The Hot Woman's Handbook, women are actively exploring sexual experiences with other women in a host of different combinations, with various methodologies, and philosophies. There are women who think about getting it on another woman while in happily monogamous relationships with men, newly single women who engage in no strings attached make out sessions with female friends, and women who mostly “do” men but who have had female sexual partners and would again.

Baumgardner gives credence to the importance of woman on woman interactions and relations above and beyond the same old staid argument that somehow we are doing so because we are brainwashed to think we must. That argument assumes that there is nothing of value in pursuing relationships with both genders. Maybe we should play "Ask the bisexual?" to figure out what is so hot about being attracted to and attract by another woman...wait let's not, but you get the point. Instead go check out "look Both Ways" for the real deal.
