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.
