I wrote this book because my experiences with heterosexuals showed that there are a lot of people who either have the wrong perception of asexuals or do not know we exist. I hope this book will let more people know that asexuality is real and is a sexual orientation that some people are born with. Because of my experiences, I wanted to tell people not to assume that we have a mental disorder, were all sexually abused as children, or have some type of sexual blockage (all of which I have been accused of many times). My asexuality does not in any way interfere with my job or daily life. I live a healthy, happy, and successful lifestyle. if I'd had an asexual role model to look up to, I never would have forced myself into a relationship in order to be accepted; I never would have lived a lie. Rumors, lies, and assumptions about asexuality keep people confused. I am hoping this book will let asexuals know that they can come out and be proud and happy, because I understand. Like me, they were born that way and can be happy, healthy, and successful.
