The Perks of Being a Bi Guy

GETSOME

You know that feeling at 2am when you're Googling alone, hoping no one finds out? When sex feels complicated and there's no one safe to talk to about it? When you're wondering if something is wrong with you, or if you're the only one feeling this way? You're not. And you never were. GETSOME is the podcast for anyone who's carried sexual shame in silence. It's for the questions you've been too embarrassed to ask, the patterns that confuse you, and the nagging feeling that maybe you're not broken... you're just human. After a hiatus to complete her first book, certified sex therapist Michelle Fischler is back with the unshaming conversations you've been waiting for. GETSOME doesn't give you technique lists or clinical lectures. Instead, Michelle meets you at the exact point of your confusion and helps you see what's actually happening in your mind, body and your nervous system, so you can stop measuring yourself against myths and start trusting yourself. Coming April 28, 2026: The Unshaming Guide to Early Ejaculation and Lasting Longer. Learn more and pre-order at comingsoonbook.ca. Season 4 is in the works, and we're genuinely excited to be back. Michelle Fischler, MSW, RSW, RP, is an ASTO Certified Sex Therapist specializing in early ejaculation, sexual performance anxiety, and the unshaming approach — a framework that addresses the psychological roots of shame rather than symptoms alone.

The Perks of Being a Bi Guy

Imagine being stuck in the “in betweens” of your sexuality.

You’re not “gay enough,” but you’re not “straight enough.” Your sexuality is constantly oversimplified, or oversexualized. You’re stuck wondering… “Am I bisexual enough???”

Though that may not be the reality for all bisexual men, it certainly is a struggle that a lot of people face. Our guest on today’s episode, West, is a bisexual man who learned to embrace his sexuality and accept that he is “enough” exactly as he is.

In his young adulthood, West thought his bisexuality might just be youthful curiosity. But, as his life continued to progress and West continued to mature, he came to realize that his sexuality wasn’t a “phase” or “curiosity.” It was who he was. His journey to this discovery was filled with societal pressures, self-doubt, and uncertainty. But ultimately, West found acceptance, pleasure, and confidence in his sexual identity.

If you have any questions, thoughts, or stories to share after listening to this episode, I’d love to hear from you. Michelle@GETSOME.ca
