yuuyami Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 A bit of a random post (I hope I put it in the right place), but I'm sitting on the train, notice someone in front of me is reading Grazia magazine and one of the featured articles is titled "Rise of the Asexuals". I was wondering if anyone has come accross it or read it yet? I'm quite curious to know what was said and thought I should point it out anyway in case anyone was interested (please excuse my typos >.> I'm vey bad at writing on my phone).

yuuyami Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) this is the only thing I could find on tumblr: Grazia Aw man, I really want to read that article now. I really want to read it too! Shame there hardly seems to be much info about it. I did find one more piece of info though on their website: http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/LatestIssue/archive/2012/07/17/in-this-weeks-issue--katie-holmes-new-divorce-hell--harry-styles-chat-up-lines-p.htm Cerys Hillier is a typical 20-something - yet she's never experienced sexual desire. And a controversial new book, out next month, reveals there are millions more like her. So what is behind this rise in asexuality? I just hope they've portrayed asexuality in a positive light and a normal orientation to have rather than singling us out as something strange >.< The wording they've used worries me a bit I'm just hoping they have a well balanced article. It'd be nice to know what was written or if the community was mentioned or anything or even actual statistics or something. Edited July 17, 2012 by yuuyami Link to post Share on other sites

Dame du Lac Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I spotted this in Boots this evening so bought a copy. Article is short and to the point (Grazia is predominantly a weekly fashion mag) and Cerys and Jessie come across as perfectly normal young ladies. The tone is quite matter of fact about asexuality being one of those things like homosexuality and treats virginity, procreative sex, sex as a trade off for intimacy as nothing to provoke a reaction to. Also David Jay is featured talking about Aven and Anthony Bogaert and his book Understanding Asexuality are mentioned. All in all a good article for the magazine. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest member25959 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Seems that Grazia doesn't publish their content online, but they gave us this Cerys Hillier is a typical 20-something - yet she's never experienced sexual desire. And a controversial new book, out next month, reveals there are millions more like her. So what is behind this rise in asexuality? Link to post Share on other sites
thylacine Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It would be nice if someone in the UK could find that magazine and maybe scan the article so they can share it with the rest of Aven, since it's not online (hint-hint). :) Link to post Share on other sites
DracoBorealis Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 "This rise in asexuality"? Bad phrasing if you ask me. Makes it sound like a goddamn fad. Link to post Share on other sites
Khoney Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I read it at the hairdressers and found AVEN through the article... big relief! Link to post Share on other sites
