Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex was an enlightening read. It is a combination of the limited research that has been done on asexuality, memoir, experience, and social cometary on sex. It is not a comprehensive take on asexuality, but it is a huge contributor. Made even more so because there are not a lot of books that focus on asexuality. 

 

What I did not expect was to relate so much to this book. I had so many preconceived notions about asexuality. This book threw them all out the window and made me realize that maybe I do not think about sex the same way as everyone else does. 

 

If you are questioning, this book will help. If you already know you are asexual then this book will provide a shared space. If you are an alley trying to better understand asexuality then this book will provide that. If nothing else it is a conversation on how our society values sex.
