These did not help clarify what, precisely it meant and how this experience affects the lives of asexuals in a way that is sufficiently similar to the hardships of other 2SLGBTQ folks to join the parade so to speak.Ĭhen goes to great lengths to not only explain a bit of the asexual experience (since there is a huge variation and Chen and her interviewees do not speak for all asexual experiences), but also what it means to exist as an asexual person in an allosexual world. I didn’t know anyone personally who identified that way, so I sought out documentaries to help fill me in. I heard about asexuality first a few years ago and it made very little sense to me. ![]() I picked this book up on recommendation from the cannonball brain trust and am only too happy I did. ![]() This book claims to provide an important perspective of what asexuality can teach us about intimacy and sex more generally. ![]()
