先前关于双性恋男性身份的社会和行为研究，当不被纳入男男性行为（MSM）的范畴时，主要集中在自我认同的双性恋男性样本上。人们对行为上双性恋的男性的性自我认同知之甚少，无论他们的性别身份如何。我们对来自美国中西部一个大城市的77名双性恋男性（即，在过去6个月内至少与一名男性和一名女性发生过性关系的男性）进行了深度访谈，并使用定性数据分析了来自性自我认同和相关问题领域的回应。总体而言，参与者的性别自我认同异常多样化。出现了三个主要主题：(1)抵制或拒绝使用性别自我认同标签；(2)多重身份类别的同时使用和多重性别身份标签的战略性部署；(3)当前性自我认同的多种轨迹。基于我们的发现，我们提供了对行为双性恋男性独特生活经历的见解，以及对男性性行为研究的更广泛考虑。我们还探索了与HIV/STI预防和其他针对行为双性恋男性的性健康项目设计有用的身份相关信息，这些项目理想情况下是可变和灵活的，以适应这一人群中发现的广泛多样性。
Previous social and behavioral research on identity among bisexual men, when not subsumed within the category of men who have sex with men (MSM), has primarily focused on samples of self-identified bisexual men. Little is known about sexual self-identification among men who are behaviorally bisexual, regardless of sexual identity. Using qualitative data from 77 in-depth interviews with a diverse sample of behaviorally bisexual men (i.e., men who have had sex with at least one woman and at least one man in the past six months) from a large city in the Midwestern United States, we analyzed responses from a domain focusing on sexual self-identity and related issues. Overall, participants’ sexual self-identification was exceptionally diverse. Three primary themes emerged: (1) a resistance to, or rejection of, using sexual self-identity labels; (2) concurrent use of multiple identity categories and the strategic deployment of multiple sexual identity labels; and (3) a variety of trajectories to current sexual self-identification. Based on our findings, we offer insights into the unique lived experiences of behaviorally bisexual men, as well as broader considerations for the study of men’s sexuality. We also explore identity-related information useful for the design of HIV/STI prevention and other sexual health programs directed toward behaviorally bisexual men, which will ideally be variable and flexible in accordance with the wide range of diversity found in this population.
