Klappentext

After years of sexual exploration and trying to fit into a heterosexual world, the author finally found she was asexual. With bravery and honesty, this book reveals her unsatisfactory sexual adventures, failed marriages, and self-searching efforts until finding her true orientation. Told in a series of journals and thoughtful reflections, it is a personal memoir but also acts as an educational journey about self-discovery and the importance of sexual diversity. Therefore, it would appeal to anyone curious about human sexuality and is particularly enlightening about the complexity of sexual desire that relates to all human beings. The author has studied and taught in the physical world of classical ballet, modern dance, and theatre before embarking on a bachelor of education majoring in drama. Later, she completed a master of social science degree where she researched many aspects of sexuality. Davina has also worked as a medical secretary and in allied health as a medical massage practitioner and counsellor. At present, her research and writing on asexuality has endorsed her belief that sexual diversity plays a vital role in our human lives.After writing histories on WWII and on an Australian agricultural invention for the Australian War Memorial and major state libraries, this is the author's first work about her own personal experience.
