Jillian Spencer: Asexual experiences in romantic relationships, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A growing body of research on asexuality defined as the quality or characteristic of not experiencing sexual attraction has recently emerged in the psychological and sociological literature. This literature has focused largely on understanding asexuality as both a phenomenological and an individual experience. However, less attention has been given to the ways that asexual individuals experience, navigate, and negotiate relationships, romance, and intimacy. The existing research on this topic suggests that asexual individuals who do pursue romantic relationships tend to do so with non-asexual partners and often struggle to navigate and negotiate intimacy in these relationships.
