Sensual Self with Ev'Yan Whitney

56. I'm Asexual, Not Broken


Listen Later

What if it was okay that you don't want to have sex? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks with Angela Chen (author of Ace) about asexuality and ace liberation. Angela debunks a lot of myths about asexuality and educates us on how nuanced the Ace spectrum is. She talks about the fluidity of desire and how we don’t need to pathologize those who don’t have much of it; the connection between sexual trauma and Aceness; and how asexuality can offer us a flexible, fluid perspective of sexual desire. Ev'Yan also shares very candidly about her experience of realizing that, after all this time denying it, she is on the Ace spectrum.
