Not Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Not Pounded In The Butt By Anything And That's Okay" And That's Okay
World famous author, Luck Dingle, needs a vacation. Taking a break from the cold of Billings, Luck travels to Hawaii only to discover that the sentient, physical manifestation of his latest book, Not Pounded In The Butt By Anything And That’s Okay, has embarked on a similar journey. Having only existed for a few days, Not Pounded In The Butt By Anything And That’s Okay is struggling to understand his asexuality and needs some time to clear his head. Little does the book know, Luck and him are more similar than it seems, and soon enough the two are embarking on a journey of strictly platonic, non-sexual romance. Together, these companions will discover that it’s okay to be exactly who you are, and that there’s no wrong way to define your sexuality, asexuality, or anything in between. This important tale is 4,300 words of blossoming friendship and non-sexual romance between buds, including learning about each other, sharing a hike, and growing a powerful love that is just as important with our without sex.

My bonus Chuck Tingle after reading Not Pounded By Self-Doubt Because I Can Do Anything I Set My Mind To, I was excited to read Not Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Not Pounded In The Butt By Anything And That's Okay" And That's Okay. I was curious about how he would do an asexual #tingler, and, honestly, he did it really well!
Sure, the book wasn't awesome. It was actually kind of... slow. There was a long hike. I'm not sure what else happened...
Books about asexuals don't have to be boring, just saying. I'll try out some other asexual Tinglers, just to compare, but I wanted more humor in this one.
I was going to give two stars, but the asexuality rep was too good to ignore. 3 stars.

All of these books are hysterical. Read them. I figured I'd search for this book with the phrase "not pounded" and was faced with the fact that there are an awful lot of books with the word "pounded" in them.
I decided I'd read this book because I wanted to support the idea of asexual literature of any kind. Which meant I had to go back and read a few that were not asexual to appreciate the full context. I bought three, all of which came with free reading included, which meant I read six stories plus. Laughed the whole time. Most have graphic sex of the over the top (or just topping) variety, but this one does not at that's okay!
I've decided I'm a buckaroo that believes in love for everyone all the time maybe with pounding or not and that's okay! But honestly, there is so little actual lit for asexual people this makes an actual mark on the scene. More is needed.

This is a surreal and wacky short story.

You know what? I could have used more meta references in this one

Another Ace up Chuck's sleeve
Erotic author Chuck Tingle tried his hand at asexual fiction a second time with this extremely meta sequel to Not Pounded In The Butt By Anything, And That's Okay. And just like in that first offering, he seems to run out of ideas less than halfway through, because the second part of the book is a jokey guide to film genres. Admittedly, these are the only Tinglers I've read; this sort of format may in fact be common in Chuck's work.
The focus here seems to be on the living book's belief that, as an asexual, he must also be aromantic, but if he was at all familiar with the story contained in his own pages, he'd know that's not the case, even in his author's beliefs.
I appreciated that "Luck Dingle" (Chuck's Avatar in this story) had a son despite being Ace himself (did I just spoil a major plot point?); nothing is really said about this, whether the son was adopted or born in a time before Dingle understood and accepted his asexuality, but as an Ace father myself, I thought it a nice touch.
Still, if you dislike fourth-wall-breaking shenanigans, I suggest you stay away. The ending particularly shatters the wall between fiction and reality, or at least the reality of the story.

This was refreshing. Instead of sex, they go on this hike, and it carries with it a sense of physical exertion and intimacy, but without touching one another. It is almost sexualized, but not really, which I think gave me more empathy for the situation an asexual person finds themselves in.
I thought this was very well done in that regard. These books are silly as fuck, and parts are even sometimes intentionally bad, but they are also incredibly smart at times, and sensitive.
They say everyone thinks they know who Chuck is, and I do too. I’d be awfully surprised if it isn’t who I think it is at the helm for at least a few of these books, because their kindness, passion, and personality really shines through in these books.

It's alright. Nothing spectacular happening in this basic Tingler, but the message is pretty nice I guess.
