What Paul puts on his private site is his own business. It's not as if he is putting 'enjoy getting a damn good sadomasochistic seeing to' in the 'hobbies and other interests' section of his CV. Then, perhaps, a little toning down would be in order. I think his skills are good and valuable enough for his sexual preferences to be academic to his selection, even unofficially. This, however, is personal choice. But the main thing is that Paul is very good at getting on with people, and in my experience this means that colleagues are less likely to 'include [him] out', as you put it. Confidence goes a long way.
As far as mentioning bisexuality on his CV is concerned, it is in the context of organising a conference. This is relevant to jobsearch because it shows organisational competence, team-working ability and a willingness to take responsibility - aspects of Paul which are not necessarily evident from the rest of his extensive (excuse me for saying this) 'geek' CV.
