Are you in a sexless relationship with a partner who may be asexual? Are you healing from a prior relationship with someone who may be asexual? This book is for you.
Millions worldwide may be asexual. Yet, asexuality remains the invisible orientation, largely unknown and misunderstood, even among therapists. Deeper in the shadows are many sexual partners, often frustrated and confused. Praised by leading sexuality experts, and blending firsthand experience with psychology training, this self-help memoir from the sexual partners perspective is a first.
It answers questions such as:
-What is asexuality?
-How can you tell if your partner is asexual, and what are your options if they are?
-How can you improve your sex life, increase physical intimacy, and become a better sex partner, regardless of your partners orientation?
Evan Oceans life partner makes a startling revelation: She has never felt physically attracted to him--or to anyone, ever. Evan is soon torn between two worlds. One includes people he loves deeply but requires him to shut down important parts of himself. The other includes great uncertainty but offers uncommon opportunities to explore physical and emotional intimacy.
Blending elements of Evan Oceans intimate story with his own, Dave Wheitner shares expertise and perspective from many sources: counseling and psychology degrees, sexuality and intimacy training, life coaching, and firsthand experiences similar to Evans.
Whether youre a frustrated partner or a relationship professional, the candid story, insights, tools, and tips will resonate with you.
