Angela Chen is releasing a book exploring what it means to be asexual in a world that considers sex to be directly tied in with humanity. The book’s expected release date is September 15th of 2020 and is up for pre-order now on Amazon! We’ll be checking it out so we thought we’d share the book for anyone else who may be interested!

Housekeeping: Looking for mods or volunteers to keep the blog running
Hi tumblrverse,
Is anyone out there interested in potentially helping to update this blog and/or the bibliography? As you may have noticed, there haven’t been updates in several months, as I’ve found that between my day job and other volunteer commitments I just don’t have time to update this blog. (I do intend to keep updating the bibliography whenever I manage to find a break, but it’s definitely not going to keep up with the current faster pace of ace research without more help; if there aren’t enough volunteers to maintain this side blog then I’d set up redirects to my personal blog resources at nextstepcake.) Ideally this would be a good project for students or grad students with experience navigating academic journals and abstract, basic understandings of asexuality research as a field, and some experience with google scholar. But I can also teach you! I usually track developments in ace research using google scholar alerts, which are quite easy to set up and I’d be happy to teach anyone interested. The tricky part is just finding the time to sort through those, find the few actual relevant articles, and then copy any relevent info into the bibliography and/or this blog. It’ll also be easier if you have easy access to academic journals - it’s become much more difficult for me to investigate articles on demand now that I am no longer a student with university journal access. Anyway, if you know anyone who might potentially be interested, please ping them! -Sennkestra
Happy Intersex Awareness Day! And Happy Asexual Awareness Week! We took a deeper look at intersex statistics from our 2014 Ace Community Census and are excited to share with you the 2014 Ace Commun…
The Ace Census team created a report on the Experiences of Intersex Aces for Intersex Awareness day and is excited to share it with you!
Asexual Research Survey
We’re a research team housed at Binghamton University in Binghamton, New York. We’re currently studying how asexuality fits into the idea that sex is a natural part of being a human. If you’re interested in helping with our research, you can take our survey at the link below! The survey can be taken by anyone no matter if you’re asexual or not! If you have any questions, DM me!
https://forms.gle/WCfJ8ip9DbPnuczj8
Thank you, everyone, for your interest and participation in the research we conducted. If you have any questions about our findings, don’t hesitate to ask and we will try to get back to you as soon as possible!
I do want to give a more specified shout out to all of the very helpful blogs that signal boosted our survey: @avenpt​ @fuckyeahasexual​ @actuallyasexual​

We’ve realized as we go through more and more articles that a lot of asexual research fails to emphasize the importance of self identification. Even our own research failed to include that as a part of our agreed upon definition. For scientific research, you have to include a definition so any audience can follow along with what you’re saying but it’s imperative that these definitions include self identification as a caveat.
All that matters when it comes to finding a label for yourself is what makes you comfortable, not what other people see.
Asexual Research - Call for Mods!
So, some of you may have noticed that this  blog has been fairly inactive recently (with the exception of the big flurry over the last couple days). Now that I (sennkestra / nextstepcake) am working full time, I have a lot less time to track and record papers, which is why I need you!
I am currently looking for a few research-interested aces to help update the blog, especially by tracking and posting any new papers or asexual-research-related conversations you come across.
The main things I need help with include:
Keeping an eye out for new asexual research, and posting links here
Keeping an eye out for other posts/conversations from aces about asexual research related topics, and linking or reblogging them here
Additional things that I wouldn’t mind help with from anyone who might have a deeper knowledge of asexual research (note: don’t worry if these seem daunting, you definitely don’t need to do these if you don’t want to)
Answer questions from our inbox about asexual research related topics (ex: “I heard this stat and I can’t figure out where it’s from can you help me?”, “what does this research finding mean”, “do you know if there’s any research on asexuality and X subtopic?).
Summarize existing asexual research in a more accessible format
Provide bibliography recommendations on specific topics (for example: prevalence of asexuality, books on asexuality, asexuality as an identity, good sources for high school papers, etc.)
While I’m primarily looking for people who would call themselves “very familiar” with asexual research, you don’t have to actually be involved in doing research at all - this blog is primarily aimed at ace readers who like to follow research, but who may not do any themselves. If you aren’t sure if you want to apply, feel free to ask more questions!
If you might be interested in this, please submit a post or email [email protected] with the following info:
Name (or nickname), tumblr blog, pronouns, and the best way to contact you (ex. email, tumblr messenger, etc.)
Why are you interested in asexual research?
What experience do you have with asexual research? (Doesn’t have to be formal or involve actually doing research - reading papers online for fun or looking up sources every now and then for class projects  totally counts!)
What methods (if any) do you currently use to keep track of new asexual research and/or new conversations about research in ace communities?
What are your favorite and/or least favorite asexual research papers?
Any questions about what’s involved with running this blog?
Priority goes to those who identify as part of the ace or aro community, but it’s not a strict requirement.
Signal Boosting is appreciated!
