Book Hack

In a Nutshell

Asexual writer Julie Sondra Decker addresses the most frequently cited myths about asexuality – that it is a disease or disorder – to bring awareness to the real challenges asexual people face and how they find connection and community.

Favorite Quote

If you're not asexual, listen to us. Trust us to describe our own feelings. Understand that happiness isn't defined by traditional sexual relationships. Don't assume we need therapy or treat us like we need to be cured or tell us we're broken.

Julie Sondra Decker

Introduction

What is asexuality, and how would someone know if they are asexual?

Fantasy fiction writer and asexual activist Julie Sondra Decker gained a following on YouTube in the early 2010s, where she discussed her asexuality.

In her 2014 book The Invisible Orientation, Decker explains what asexuality means and debunks common misconceptions about her underrepresented orientation.

Decker draws on scientific research, her own experiences, and interviews with other asexuals to educate non-asexual people about the orientation and empower them to advocate for asexuals.
