Literally mid run and I’m deep in thought and I had to stop and write this down somewhere.

Friendships of all types with bisexual men can be extraordinary.

A few recent exchanges-one just this morning-gave me so much to think about. There is something about the way we need to be seen. In a purest form, that would be sexually. I think most of us in 2024 have posted or shared a pic of ourselves-both for validation but maybe also to combat years of internalized shame. Kind of wild that sex and sexy can accomplish so much. It’s one thing to see and be seen by both men and women. It’s another to share that with another bi guy. I happen to be married and my wife is affirming. After years of marriage we have love and understanding and yes a shorthand. That’s because we know each other.

It’s extraordinary to be able to explore identity with someone that you can share a shorthand. That’s not to say bisexuality in men is some monolith-but it is so extraordinary to be able to share and be seen in so many ways. Sometimes the sexy moments are more about affirmation. Sharing a common bond.

Life is rich with sexuality. Not just because of it. Or outside of it. It’s always great to be able to find your people.
