Jesteśmy społecznością, która kocha książki

To explain asexuality and what it means to not experience sexual attraction, aces must define and describe the exact phenomena we don't experience. It requires us to use the language of 'lack', claiming we are legitimate in spite of being deficient, while struggling to explain exactly what it is we don't get..

For aces, the confusion comes not only from being unable to navigate sexuality, but also from feeling excluded from sexuality entirely and watching others participate. Gossip revovles around crushes and kisses. Sex- who's having it, who might have it, who wants to have it- becomes a key topic of conversation even if no one is doing anything. The new, collective obsession can seem incomrehensible, like everyone else's brains have been hijacked.
