ASEXUALITY

What is Asexuality?

Asexuality is a sexual orientation where an individual experiences little to no sexual attraction to others. Just like any other aspect of sexual identity or orientation, asexuality can exist on a spectrum. Some individuals may feel varying amounts of sexual attraction, or may experience and implement sexuality in different ways.

Asexuality does not mean one is unable to maintain relationships or experience attraction and enjoyment with partners. In fact, many ace individuals desire or are in amazing relationships with their partners.

How does Asexuality present in therapy?

Asexuality can present itself in therapy in many different ways. Many individuals may be new to exploring their asexuality and need a place to learn and explore what that looks like for them. Some are further along in their identity journey and are working on navigating relationships,

In our sessions we may:

  • explore what asexuality looks like for you,

  • identify and untangle some of the messages or images of what sexuality and relationships can look like

  • navigate how asexuality may be presenting in your relationships

  • learn how to communicate your needs and experiences to others.
