Ace of Hearts: A Journey to Embracing the Asexual Identity
Ace of Hearts: A Journey to Embracing the Asexual Identity | Caryn Purdy
2 posts | 3 read
Asexuality (an orientation where someone does not experience sexual attraction) is widely misunderstood. Or worse: ignored. Until it becomes common knowledge that asexuality exists as a sexual orientation, then people who DO relate on the spectrum will continue to struggle internally (feeling alone, broken, or flawed) and externally (in relationships, and life in general). The Lonely Ace of Hearts begins with a general introduction about asexuality as an orientation, debunking the most common myths, and then guides readers through the most common struggles. Defining and Understanding Your Identity. Achieving Self-Acceptance. Coming Out to Friends & Family. (Or, not.) Dealing with Loneliness. Love, Dating, Sex, and Relationships. This is not about "dealing with life as an asexual." This is about (ultimately) Embracing the Asexual Identity.

I haven't been reading recently shame on me. But I have recently found some books to read because I have made a personal discovery. I am Demisexual.

Demisexuality is on the asexual spectrum and to sum it it up I only feel sexual attraction once a bond is formed.

A straightforward breakdown of the definition of asexuality, its myths and the various points along the spectrum and in addition the author explores her own asexual journey. She also provides some guidelines to further reading, websites and Facebook groups to join.
