The Bisexual Option (1978; second edition 1993) is a book by the sex researcher Fritz Klein. It is considered one of the seminal works on bisexuality in the discipline of queer studies.[1]

## Summary

[edit]

The book discusses where people may fit on the sexual orientation continuum, identifying seven variables which contribute to an individual's sexual identity[2]. It also aids in explaining who bisexuals are and why they have problems in heterosexual as well as the mainstream gay/lesbian communities.[3]
