![]() There’s also a long section that addresses the “are aces queer” debates–it’s the longest section in the book. (One side note: International perspectives are not really covered, as this book seems to be intended for an American audience.) Romantic orientation (or not)! Libido and masturbation (or not)! Having sex (or not)! Grey areas (including romantic orientation)! Relationships (or not)! Age! Race! Gender! Disability! All the things! Basically, if you can name an intersection, it’s probably covered (sensitively and well!) in this section. Part Two (Asexual Experiences) discusses all the different ways to be asexual. She does discuss the various reasons why people may identify as asexual beyond the “if you fit the definition, this is you” model (such as a lack of interest in having sex), which I really appreciated. If you have read Asexuality 101, none of this will be particularly shocking. Part One (Asexuality 101) is exactly what you’d expect from Asexuality 101. It’s easy to read, it’s well-organized, it has so much information, and it would be equally appropriate to hand to your professor, your partner, your parent, and your questioning best friend. ![]() It is pretty much everything you could want from a 101 asexuality book. I was fortunate enough to receive an advance copy to review, so here goes!* So if you haven’t heard, Julie Sondra Decker (or swankivy, as you might know her on the internet) wrote a book on asexuality that is coming out on September 2! Here are a bunch of places you can order it. ![]()
