that's actually a really good read, and a pretty fair look at the subject.

the problem of elusive definitions is always an issue, since everything we're talking about gets defined in relationship to other things. Bi idenity is always tied in to gay idenity and hetero idenity, but (in my experience) isn't just a combination of the two.

it's not like there's some "pure type" object out there that we can define...the way i view it is that it's a trend line, a best fit over some fairly jagged data.

Edit: i should also say the STD data is really important. It's not just about proving that bi-sexual activity (a different question from idenity) occurs, but that personal responsbility, no matter who you sleep with is of the utmost importance.
