À propos de ce titre
 An engaging exploration of what it means to be asexual in a world that’s obsessed with sexual attraction, and what the ace perspective can teach all of us about desire and identity.

What exactly is sexual attraction and what is it like to go through life not experiencing it? What does asexuality reveal about gender roles, about romance and consent, and the pressures of society? This accessible examination of asexuality shows that the issues that aces face—confusion around sexual activity, the intersection of sexuality and identity, navigating different needs in relationships—are the same conflicts that nearly all of us will experience. Through a blend of reporting, cultural criticism, and memoir, Ace addresses the misconceptions around the “A” of LGBTQIA and invites everyone to rethink pleasure and intimacy.

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.

Amazing. That's all I can say. It's packed with information but in a way that is interesting and easy to understand. Really well read too. Will definitely re-read.

So much to think about

This was so eye opening! As an ace myself, i often had questions about how romance and asexuality can work together, if i even deserve and can be in a happy healthy relationships. And the last part of this book helped me learn about myself so much!

def. a must read even if you are not ace, this will be informing and inspiring

This is a great glimpse into the Ace / AroAce community and answers question many people in that community struggle with. What is romantic attraction? Is me being ace connected to my mental health or neurodivergency? Why is it hard to come out as ace? Why are people reacting the way they are? I read this book a while ago and I keep coming back and reading certain chapters and passages. I love this book!

This book has helped me in so may ways!

The book was very interesting and covered so much about the topic "asexuality". It was eyeopenjng to me and a good starting point.

The topic asexuality itself an experience of people in the book

A little long winded and contains lots of applied Intersectional and Queer Theory ideology. Terrible as an analytical work, as it is anecdotal and predominantly focused on 'lived experience'. Stories told within generally show the interestingly broad diversity in identities of some of the people counting themselves among (lgb)tq.
Only read/listen to this after doing proper research into this topic and the sources given, fact check and make up your own mind.

a community favourite, yet overrated
