What is Asexuality?
Asexuality is a sexual orientation, like heterosexuality or homosexuality, etc., but instead of being sexually attracted to men or women, asexual people are sexually attracted to no one. This doesn’t mean we all hate sex or avoid it, it just means we don’t find people sexually attractive.
What is the Asexuality Archive?
The Asexuality Archive is a collection of all things Ace. In these pages, I hope to provide a comprehensive and uncensored look into what asexuality is, what it means to us and how it shapes our lives. My intention is to provide information that is approachable and informative, whether or not you’re asexual.
Projects:
What is Asexuality?: A companion site, dedicated to providing information about asexuality in multiple formats, including pamphlets and slideshows.
Asexuality: A Brief Introduction: An informational book about what asexuality is, what it’s like to be asexual, and what people should know about asexuality.
An Asexual’s Guide To…: A series of in-depth posts on topics that are typically wondered about, but are rarely explored in ace circles.
The Comment Section: A series of posts that explore troublesome comments left on articles about asexuality, and tips for responding to them.
