Descrição (Amazon):


Asexuality can be defined as an enduring lack of
sexual attraction. Thus, asexual individuals do not find (and perhaps
never have) others sexually appealing. Some consider “asexuality” as a
fourth category of sexual orientation, distinct from heterosexuality,
homosexuality, or bisexuality. However, there is also recent evidence
that the label “asexual” may be used in a broader way than merely as “a
lack of sexual attraction.” People who say they have sexual attraction
to others, but indicate little or no desire for sexual activity are also
self-identifying as asexual. Distinct from celibacy, which refers to
sexual abstinence by choice where sexual attraction and desire may still
be present, asexuality is experienced by those having a lack or sexual
attraction or a lack of sexual desire.

More
and more, those who identify as asexual are “coming out,” joining up,
and forging a common identity. The time is right for a better
understanding of this sexual orientation, written by an expert in the
field who has conducted studies on asexuality and who has provided
important contributions to understanding asexuality. This timely
resource will be one of the first books written on the topic for general
readers, and the first to look at the historical, biological, and
social aspects of asexuality. It includes first-hand accounts throughout
from people who identify as asexual. The study of asexuality, as it
contrasts so clearly with sexuality, also holds up a lens and reveals
clues to the mystery of sexuality.
