Cat In My Lap

I'm late posting this, as Asexuality Awareness Week 2014 officially runs from October 26 through November 1. But if you aren't aware of what asexuality is, it's a good time to Google it and learn, since you may know someone who identifies this way, or who would if they only knew that there's a name for this and that they're not alone. It's a much misunderstood orientation, and in fact mostly unheard of.

Of course this isn't the only time of year one can learn about asexuality. It deserves more understanding, espeically among young people just starting out and realizing who they are, as well as those around them, in order for asexuals to feel more able to make choices that are right for them and feel that they fit in and are accepted, instead of feeling they have to be just like everyone else. There are also a lot of older people like me (I'm 58) who don't realize what this is, because we grew up in a world that assumed everyone experiences sexual attraction.

Life is all about being the best person one can be, as oneself.

If you want to know more than what you can find online, I highly recommend a book titled, The Invisible Orientation by Julie Sondra Decker.
