Personal Digest Saturday - May 9 – May 15

Life news this week:
Saturday I did my blogging relatively early and texted my sister 'cause it was her birthday! Tried to play DDR but only got partway through my intended games because one of the buttons broke. Worked on singing practice. Did a bunch of research for drawing references for my story characters and got two of them done before I got too tired to keep going.

Quotes by Julie Sondra Decker  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Some people misinterpret aesthetic appreciation, romantic attraction, or sexual arousal as being sexual attraction, only to realize later that they are asexual.”
Julie Sondra Decker, The Invisible Orientation: An Introduction to Asexuality

“Asexual people are often told they will one day find "the one" and develop sexual feelings and the values society attaches to them. Many asexual folks have to hear this over and over and over again, which thrusts a perpetual image of immaturity upon them. Asexuality is not a signal that a person is necessarily stunted emotionally or physically, and feeling sexual attraction or inclination is not the line everyone must cross to be treated like an adult. Maturity should not be measured by willingness or inclination to seek out or accept sexual experiences. [p. 7]”
Julie Sondra Decker, The Invisible Orientation: An Introduction to Asexuality

“If a person who has trouble believing sex could be unenjoyable can imagine a person they are not attracted to at all, and then try to imagine whether they could enjoy sex with that person, they might have some understanding of how an asexual person might be feeling about sex. Many asexual people feel that way about all potential partners. Just like most straight guys can’t imagine liking sex with another man, many asexual people would not enjoy the act—not because they’re doing it wrong, but because people just aren’t sexually attractive to them.”
Julie Sondra Decker, The Invisible Orientation: An Introduction to Asexuality
