Ep. 22 - (A)sexual Education

In this episode we're discussing the topic of asexuality and media representation. What is asexuality, how is it represented in the media, and how can we be better allies to the asexual community? We chat about this and much more including coming out, labels, and the complex fluidity and ambiguity of "attraction."

Neither of us are by any means experts on these topics, but we thought we'd share our experiences to try and open up a generative conversation about asexuality and sexuality in general. If you have any questions, corrections, critiques, or additions to our discussion that you'd like to let us know about, please fill us in either by email or direct message.
