BlueHairedFairy Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I couldn't find anything in search so hopefully this isn't addressed elsewhere. I would love to hear about any good asexual reads. Fiction or nonfiction. I'm hungry for some good reading material that won't turn me off ☺️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Biblioromantic Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 My favorite nonfiction book about asexuality is The Invisible Orientation by Julie Decker. Lots of good info, plus it's, like, the only nonfiction book about asexuality written by an ace that's not a collection of memoirs, so there's that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually requested this book from the library before I even posted this. Looking forward to reading it! I was just amazed at the fact that it was one of just a few books that I could find at the library on the subject. I noticed that other people had given it great reviews. Thanks! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NickyTannock Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 There's a short book about Asexuality that I often recommend to new users because it's free to read online, http://www.asexualityarchive.com/book/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iam9man Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 The best two have already been named above. Asexual Perspectives might also be worth a read, but nowhere as good as the other two in my opinion. The Invisible Orientation is probably the current standard bearer, although I found parts of the book a bit negative. I still recommend it though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anisotrophic Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 My favorite is actually Bogaert's book, Understanding Asexuality, for the more neutral perspective of a researcher. (I have the Decker book too.) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillfiguringthisout Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Perfect Rhythm by Jae! (fair warning: it does have a sex scene in it, but there's also a warning on the chapter so you can skip it if you'd like) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lui Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I'm currently reading "let's talk about love" by Claire Kann. Asexual main character and verrrry relatable 😉 Best representation in YA-Books I could find so far. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
