What if you weren’t sexually attracted to anyone?

A growing number of people are identifying as asexual. They aren’t sexually attracted to anyone, and they consider it a sexual orientation—like gay, straight, or bisexual.

Asexuality is the invisible orientation. Most people believe that “everyone” wants sex, that “everyone” understands what it means to be attracted to other people, and that “everyone” wants to date and mate. But that’s where asexual people are left out—they don’t find other people sexually attractive, and if and when they say so, they are very rarely treated as though that’s okay.

When an asexual person comes out, alarming reactions regularly follow; loved ones fear that an asexual person is sick, or psychologically warped, or suffering from abuse. Critics confront asexual people with accusations of following a fad, hiding homosexuality, or making excuses for romantic failures. And all of this contributes to a discouraging master narrative: there is no such thing as “asexual.” Being an asexual person is a lie or an illness, and it needs to be fixed.

In The Invisible Orientation, Julie Sondra Decker outlines what asexuality is, counters misconceptions, provides resources, and puts asexual people’s experiences in context as they move through a very sexualized world. It includes information for asexual people to help understand their orientation and what it means for their relationships, as well as tips and facts for those who want to understand their asexual friends and loved ones.

其实有点啰嗦啦,为了澄清误解有点用力过猛。看到变形虫还是笑死我了,为什么你们人类骂人都那么有创造性啊。并不能认同作者在谈及无性恋和非无性恋伴侣混合关系时(特指无性恋在建立关系后才发觉自己的真实取向)处处流露出的“无性恋已经很不容易啦你们要包容”的态度,虽然对性取向的迟到/重新认知算是常情,但此前对自己取向的疏忽总是导致了伴侣意外的损失,而这本显然站在无性恋立场的书对于非无性恋伴侣的附带伤害只字未提。
