Ace : What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex

Chen, Angela, 1991- (Author). Cloud. (Added Author).

-- Ace Journalist Angela Chen creates her path to understanding her own asexuality with the perspectives of a diverse group of asexual people. Vulnerable and honest, these stories include a woman who had blood tests done because she was convinced that 'not wanting sex' was a sign of serious illness, and a man who grew up in a religious household and did everything 'right,' only to realize after marriage that his experience of sexuality had never been the same as that of others. Disabled aces, aces of color, gender-nonconforming aces, and aces who both do and don't want romantic relationships all share their experiences navigating a society in which a lack of sexual attraction is considered abnormal. Chen's careful cultural analysis explores how societal norms limit understanding of sex and relationships and celebrates the breadth of sexuality and queerness.
