What is asexual fiction?

Another characteristic is that it can explore different types of relationships. Asexual characters may form deep platonic relationships or queerplatonic relationships. In books like 'Tash Hearts Tolstoy', we see how the asexual protagonist forms relationships that are not based on sexual attraction but are still meaningful and complex. These stories also tend to break down the common stereotypes associated with asexuality.

The novel 'Let's Talk About Love' by Claire Kann is also a wonderful asexual fiction. It follows Alice, an asexual black girl, as she navigates relationships and college life. It really delves into the asexual experience in a relatable way.

To write good asexual fiction, focus on the relationships that asexual characters form. These can be non - sexual, deep - rooted friendships or romantic relationships based on emotional intimacy. Show how these relationships are just as valid and fulfilling as sexual relationships. Use descriptive language to convey the emotions and nuances of these relationships. For example, describe how an asexual character feels a warm, fuzzy sense of belonging when they are with their group of like - minded friends, or how their heart flutters with excitement when they share a special moment with their romantic partner, not in a sexual way but in a deeply emotional and connected way.

'The Sound of Stars' by Alechia Dow also features an asexual character. It's a science - fiction story that combines elements of adventure, a budding relationship between the characters, and the exploration of different identities, including asexuality, in a post - apocalyptic world.

Asexual comics often focus on non-sexual relationships and may explore themes of friendship, self-discovery, and emotional connections without any romantic or sexual elements.

Well, 'Tash Hearts Tolstoy' is quite popular. Young adults can relate to Tash's experiences in high school, her dreams, and how she manages her asexual identity in a world full of typical romantic expectations. It gives a positive portrayal of asexuality.

Asexual graphic novels can contribute a great deal. They provide visual representation. For example, when readers see a character who is asexual in a story, it makes the identity more real and tangible. It also helps in normalizing asexuality. Just like how other sexual orientations are represented in media, asexual graphic novels can put asexual experiences, like not feeling sexual attraction, on the same level. They can also educate others who may not be familiar with asexuality about what it means to be asexual.
