#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

And I did that after I created a bisexual research group.

So I wasn't a sexuality researcher, but as a bi person and a scientist, I was interested in the science of bisexuality.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

And I couldn't really find it.

#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

It was really hard to figure out what people were actually learning about bisexual people in comparison to other kinds of queer people.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

And...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

One of the things I've found is that the terms that are used are not necessarily bi.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

And so it could be things like plurisexual.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

So if you type into Google Scholar the word bisexual, you're going to get a lot of confusing things.

Lex Fridman Podcast

Also because bisexual is used for like two sexes where you have multiple sex or you can change.

Lex Fridman Podcast

And so they're bisexual.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

Right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

Which is different entirely.

#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

And so I think partly out of that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

Researchers started using words like plurisexual and omnisexual is another one.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

And so if you're looking for research on this, plurisexual is probably the word.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

It's just the same.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

It's just another word where it's all.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#483 โ€“ Julia Shaw: Criminal Psychology of Murder, Serial Killers, Memory & Sex

Sometimes pansexual is also used.

And again, the idea being that it's all genders.
