Are Human Beings by Nature Bisexual?

Elisabeth Young-Bruehl

Why would a person be glad, or not, to be bisexual, beyond Woody Allen's observation that it doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night? Acclaimed psychoanalyst and author Elisabeth Young-Bruehl explores the many meanings of the word "bisexual," its multiple definitions in biology, medicine, and philosophy, and the utter lack of agreement on its meaning.
