Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen

This book put into words so many things I have felt but didn't have the appropriate language for.
I identify as Demisexual and have often tried to explain to friends that my brain's default is Asexual and it's often a surprise even to me when attraction happens.
Getting to read about the experiences of so many other people with similar experiences of attraction felt affirming. It's wonderful to feel seen, less strange, less wrong, less broken.
This is absolutely worth a read for anyone, no matter where your own sexuality lies, but especially if you have someone in your life who is or may be Ace.
