Understanding Asexuality by Anthony F. Bogaert
1.75
slow-paced

 | For the low, low price of 27 dollars and/or just a few precious hours of your life you too can have your pressing questions about the illusive world of asexuality answered. Such questions answered include, “Do asexual people understand sex jokes?” Riveting stuff. 

Halfway through this I had to check if this was written by a man. It is. The author makes it painfully unavoidable to notice. I just… I don’t think I appreciate the way he kind of mystifies the whole aspect of sexuality in women. Maybe that’s not what he was doing, but that’s how it felt to me.

Also, as a lover of science and biology, I understand the interest in discussing the possible genetic factors that could influence someone's sexual orientation. However, it's very much giving, "WHERE IS THE GAY GENE?!" energy and it's making my ass itch.
