Wow, way to find out at 76 what the hell has been wrong with me all my life. I have been living alone for fifteen years and am happier than I have ever been in my entire life. I know I am an introvert but that never explained the lack of connection and the actual disconnect in my sex life. I guess it is never too late to learn new things. Only thing I didn't understand was how I, as a caedsexual hetero can fit into LGBTQ guess I will have to do some more research.

Polecam szczególnie osobom, które nie są obeznane w temacie i szukają czegoś prostego i szybkiego, by przyswoić wiedzę albo znaleźć odpowiedzi na swoje pytania.

A fantastic introduction to the world of asexuality. Definitely just a surface level introduction, but it will be a great resource for definitions to people who know nothing about the spectrum.

Fascinating read

I just learned more about this community in a matter of minutes than I have in all of my 40 years. What a brilliant and simple book to have on hand for easy explanations and precise definitions. Bravo, Clara!

A quick reference guide to terms in the Ace community. There were many that I had never heard of, and while short, the content is to the point. I love these zero fluff informative books. This book is a good place to start if you are just wanting to wrap your head around asexuality.

This book about the asexuality spectrum is a great short read for a teen or parent of a teen that might be exploring being ace. It’s an age appropriate informational text that is also a little cute and silly. It gives excellent definitions for common terminology used in the community.

It was pretty short but that cake analogy- 10/10. The analogies were so good and the illustrations too. It was a great intro to ace and aro

A wonderful introduction

I have only recently discovered/realised that I belong in the aspec community. This little book has helped me begin to understand the complexities of being aspec and what my personal experience might be. I will be using the recommended reading to discover more, and keep this handy for friends and family as an introduction.

A very cute and quick read that validated my newly discovered asexual feelings and put into perspective all the different ways asexual people can identify ❤️
