15.17: Asexual Representation

Your Hosts: Dan, Tempest, Mary Robinette, and Howard Generally speaking, asexuality is a sexual orientation or identity typified by the absence of a desire to have sex. It's *way* more complicated than that, however, and in this episode Tempest helps us unpack it so that asexual characters can be written more effectively. Liner Notes: Want to dig deeper? Over at Writing The Other there's a master class on writing asexual characters taught by Lauren Jankowski.
