Personal Digest Saturday: November 22 – November 28

Life news this week:
Saturday I got up early and had breakfast, and then Jeaux picked me up and took me to see the second half of Wicked. We enjoyed the movie! Then we had lunch at Moe's and did our grocery shopping for Thanksgiving ingredients. When I got home I wanted a nap but the neighbors were too loud partying so I had to use earphones to listen to white noise to drown them out. (I'm pretty b Read more of this blog post »

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
