“Highly amusing and engaging...Kristal and Szymanski are incredibly knowledgeable and their personal anecdotes are refreshing reminders that while bisexuality may open more sexual doors, it still doesn’t mean you’ll have a date for Saturday night.” — The Washington Blade “An exciting and sexy journey into the vast universe of bisexuality...You don’t even have to be bi to love it. Entertaining, with plenty of food for thought, and some nice fantasy material, too.”– Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D., author of Dr. Sprinkle’s Spectacular Sex: Make Over Your Love Life “A playful, tongue-in-cheek romp that challenges the heterosexual and lesbian and gay status quo with gleeful abandon. Jam-packed with juicy tidbits, bistorical facts, pop quizzes, coming out advice, dating guidelines, personal hygiene tips and sexual relationship strategies, this book puts a new spin on ‘bisexuality as a stage,’ demanding lights, cameras, and action!”—Lani Ka’ahumanu and Loraine Hutchins, editors of Bi Any Other Name “After reading this book I now believe in my own inner bisexual. I even joined a bi volleyball league. I got to play for both teams.”—ANT, comic and host of VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club “Sexy, smart and informative. Finally a book that puts the bisexual experience front and center...I have been waiting for a book like this: a book that will go a long way in taking bisexuality out of the queer getto.”—Kyle Schickner, filmmaker, Rose By Any Other Name “Two sexy bisexuals writing about what they know best? It’s a must-read, between the sheets and anywhere else.”—Sharon Kane, porn goddess “Who knew being bi could be so much fun? Nicole Kristal and Mike Szymanski take a funny look at what it means to be bisexual. This is the definitive guide for bisexuals who are perhaps the most misunderstood sexual-orientation group on the planet. While every bisexual should have The Bisexual’s Guide to the Universe on their bookshelf, it is also a must for every heterosexual and so-called ‘open-minded’ homosexual who is confused, enticed and/or envious of their switch-hitter friends.”—Dan Boyle, author of Huddle “Darling, I’m one of those gay people who think you don’t exist. I haven’t fucked any women lately, but I enjoyed it when I did. I just haven’t done it in forever ‘cause I like the other stuff better. I really have nothing to say about bisexuality that you want to hear.”—Bruce Vilanch, comedian “I have always imagined bisexuality to be the greater gift and Nicole Kristal & Mike Szymanski drolly banish any doubt that might have lingered in my one-pointed preference. They gracefully do so like shamans of inclusive fascination! As the book unfolds, following their lead is taking a deep look, not just into “bi,” but into a prismatic sexuality.”—Mickey Cotrell, actor/publicist/hedonist/mystic “Can you unlock the truth about your deepest sexual desires by measuring your delight in mochaccino, grapefruit, or extra-cheese pizza? Who knows?! But in-the-know bi folks, metrosexuals, playahs without labels, and the cautiously curious alike will have a blast trying with this breezy read. The Bisexual’s Guide to the Universe busts bi myths and ‘confims’ plenty of them with a wink and a nod in nearly every tongue-in-cheek sentence.”—Robin Renée, singer-songwriter. http://www.anniesprinkle.org/shapeimage_1_link_0
