Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture by Sherronda J. Brown

informative medium-paced

4.5

This was a fascinating read, not only for author's Black and asexual perspectives on sexuality and its pervasiveness in our culture, but as someone who is not asexual, I found it really interesting to contextualize my own sexual history, particularly how my relationship with sex changed after I began having pelvic pain. This feels like a text that anyone could benefit from reading because it makes you look at sex and sexuality, and the value we culturally place on sex, from a totally different perspective.
