Update from the person writing the asexuality term paper - I'm finally done! 10 exhausting pages of asexuality as a community of practice. I just wanted to say thank you because I used this blog as a reference. It was really helpful when I addressed new terms and other things that are not officially published. Love this blog and keep up the amazing work~

Congrats! That's awesome to hear! And we are so honored and pleased and all sorts of other fuzzy emotions to be used as a reference! :D

For the anon asking about good books about asexuality: There's "Discovering Asexuality" by Anthony F. Bogaert. He's a health science professor who specializes in human sexuality. Lots of his research is reputable and well known. The book is a good way of having a general overview of asexuality. Some of his claims/opinions are debatable but the book was published in 2012 so things change. The book is a bit expensive so I suggest borrowing it [from the library] first. Hope that helped!

I think that anon asking about book might like to read Understanding Asexuality by Anthony F. Bogaert Queenie talks about it here: post/30248965593/understanding-asexuality-review

Thanks for sharing!

What I’ve heard about this one is that it’s, y’know, sciencey - not a light read. Between that and the price, it’s not super accessible, but yes, it’s a great resource.

Hi! This isn't a question. I'm currently writing a 10-15 page term paper about the sociolingstic-ness of the asexual community and wow. It's a lot more complicated than I thought! Then I think about how you all answer complicated advice and keep this blog running every day and seriously, you all are the best. Thanks so much and keep up the great advice!

You're so welcome! Thank you for this message! Good luck with your paper! :)

Not that you need anyone to tell you this because you already know it but you have a very pretty, cuddle-able stomach :D

[littleneuroses]

you're slowly drawing me into the PacRim fandom omg I just followed Mark on IG uugghh

I’m so sorry, but it’ll be easier if you stop resisting and allow yourself to be absorbed into the monstrosity that is the PacRim fandom.
