'The moment I realised I was asexual' Understanding Asexuality. In a world saturated with sexual imagery, appeals to the effects of sexual attraction, and arguments about the way sex affects society, it is difficult for some people to believe that not everyone harbors an interest in sex or feels sexual attraction.
But asexuality undermines common beliefs that sexual feelings are universal. While there have always been people who felt little or no sexual desire or attraction to others, the concept of asexuality is relatively new. Is Asexuality a Sexual Orientation? ASEXUALS: Who Are They and Why Are They Important? Recently, I asked for suggestions for updates for the 40th anniversary edition of that classic book, Our Bodies, Ourselves .
Kris suggested a new section on asexuality, and pointed readers to asexuality.org , the Asexual Visibility and Education Network. I checked it out - it is a terrific resource - and also started searching for academic papers. The first thing I learned is that there is a startlingly small number of serious studies of asexuality. Type "asexual" into a database such as PsycInfo, and what spills out are mostly discussions of whether old people are sexual beings.
