Molly MuldoonA Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality (Quick & Easy Guides)

I'm new to the ace community, after decades of thinking there was something wrong with me, and this guide was very validating to my lived experience. It offers a very clear explanation of what asexuality is and isn't, as well as how it's different from aromantic. It's told in a fun way and helps me feel more confident in my sexual identity. I kinda want to carry copies with me to hand out to people instead of trying to explain myself, lol

We like our cake but don't necessarily want to eat it all at once. Brilliantly told and perfect to understand. Definitely a must read.

I enjoyed reading this. It's still a bit confusing, although this really shed light on the subject & defined differences. Nice quick read that makes it comfortable.

My husband is asexual and I got this book to learn more about asexuality. Through this book I learned that I'm demisexual, which is on the asexuality spectrum. This graphic novel truly was short and informative, I enjoyed it. 5/5 stars

As an older person, who is new to this, and trying to figure myself out in my 50s, this book was really informative and helpful.

This was a cool guide to asexuality. It is encouraging me to read more books that go in depth. I like illustrations as well.

As someone who has long identified somewhere along the edge of asexuality, I found myself appreciating Molly Muldoon and Will Hernandez's reference guide meets graphic novel "A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality."Often referred to as "The Invisible Orientation," asexuality is still something that gets very little mdia attention and is often met by derision across the spectrum of sexuality. "A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality" is sort of an introductory glimpse inside asexuality, neither delving quite as deeply as some of us might hope nor becoming overly simplistic.This is a book for those who want to gain a better understanding of what asexuality is and what asexuality is not. The book dispels myths and tackles a few of the more general controversies surrounding asexuality. I started the book wondering if it would either affirm that I am, in fact, asexual or if it might even convince me that I'm not.Truthfully, it leans much more toward affirming my own self-image while also helping me understand why I kind of doubted myself.The illustrations here are simple yet engaging. The language is easily accessible and explained whenever necessary. Both Molly and Will come off as delightful human beings and, yes, both identify as asexual or as Ace people."A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality" is probably best suited to those either exploring its meaning or early in their journey as the book largely avoids deeper conversations and issues. At a mere 72 pages, this is a primer for the discussion yet it opens the door enthusiastically and the book includes valuable resources at the end.This Oni Press title is wonderfully written, warmly and compassionately presented, and packaged in a way that encourages thoughtful discussion and exploration. "A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality" is a quick and breezy read exploring a topic that deserves much more discussion and this is a terrific place to start that discussion.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC of this book!I saw A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality on NetGalley and requested a copy! As an asexual person, or “ace,” myself, I figured I’d know most of the information in this book. But it’s always great to read more!This is a cute graphic novel style guide, where two asexual people talk about their experiences being ace in a very allo-centric world (“allo” being short for allosexual, the opposite of asexual). The art is great and the writing is snappy, making this a really fun read for anyone looking to learn more about asexuality. People often call asexuality the “hidden” or “invisible” orientation because of the lack of information available about it. I think this guide is a step in the right direction to fixing that issue.I appreciate how this book also clears up common misconceptions about asexuality and aromanticism and how it handles the LGBT+ issue—that some aces feel happy identifying as queer, while others do not. “Aces are welcome” in the LGBT+ community is a wonderful message that does not force people into boxes they do not fit into. (Some asexual people identify as LGBT+, while some do not… And those are both valid!)This is a great little book that I think will help many people.
