2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read

'Somehow, over time, we forgot that the rituals behind dating and sex were constructs made up by human beings and eventually, they became hard and fast rules that society imposed on us all.' True Love. Third Wheels. Dick pics. 'Dying alone'. Who decided this was normal? Sarah and Kayla invite you to put on your purple aspec glasses - and rethink everything you thought you knew about society, friendship, sex, romance and more. Drawing on their personal stories, and those of aspec friends all over the world, prepare to explore your microlabels, investigate different models of partnership, delve into the intersection of gender norms and compulsory sexuality and reconsider the meaning of sex - when allosexual attraction is out of the equation. Spanning the whole range of relationships we have in our lives - to family, friends, lovers, society, our gender, and ourselves, this book asks you to let your imagination roam, and think again what human connection really is. Includes exclusive 'Sounds Fake But Okay' podcast episodes.

Meh

so-so

I didn't read non-fiction (because I didn't really want to), but I'm starting now. Just one book a month, haha.

I did not really enjoy this, primarily because I didn‘t feel like it added much to the conversation beyond the authors‘ personal experiences and the quotes from their interviewees. I wouldn‘t recommend this as an intro to the topics covered. In fact, if you are new to reading about aspec topics, some of the sections may leave you more confused. For example, I found some of the authors‘ metaphors to be unclear and inconsistent. ⬇️

psalva In addition, there were several mentions of JKR which were unnecessary and destined to be controversial or inflammatory, or both. Overall, this was a missed opportunity. I would have preferred a collaborative memoir, expanding on the sections of personal narrative, or the book about ace relationships which the publisher initially proposed to the authors instead of another attempt at a primer. 2y
