Asexual Spectrum Non-fiction

Non-fiction books on the subject of asexuality - Baby Ace didn't even realize asexuality was a thing, and several of these books completely changed my world. If you're questioning your asexuality, or just curious about the topic, these are good places to start.

(Disclaimer: I haven't read ALL of these, but have gathered some of them from various asexual lists floating around. If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to recommend! 😊)

I have some suggestions, none of which I've read yet but am aware of: Amazing Ace, Awesome Aro by Victoria Barron, Understanding Asexuality by Anthony F. Bogaert, I Am Ace by Cody Daigle-Orians, A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality by Mollie Muldoon, All About Demisexuality by Arf Gray, Ace Notes by Michele Kirichanskaya, and if you're open to something focused on aromanticism, Hopeless Aromantic by Samantha Rendle. Thank you sm for making this list!! I was about to make it myself but found yours instead 😊💜
